## Story

For Brucato, this new venture represents not only a slower, more sustainable pace of life, but also fulfills his childhood dream of coming to the U.S. and becoming a business owner. Earlier this year, Brucato began completing projects within his Raleigh territory and is already thinking of possibilities for the future.

“When I was young, my vision was to come to the U.S.”, said Brucato. “For different reasons throughout the years, I never had. But when I decided I wanted a change from my IT work, someone presented Fresh Coat to me. I saw it as an opportunity to move and invest in a business that would grow with me.”

Fresh Coat has carved out a niche by servicing clients and projects of all types. It has expanded from a residential painting business to also include commercial offerings. Clients have hired the company to paint medical and dental offices, business offices, apartments, schools, government buildings and more.

"Fresh Coat is positioned as a solution for all painting needs, both interior and exterior, for residential and commercial properties. 'In a market with few painting companies, we can streamline project management and fill that gap,' said Lisa Hudson, brand president."

Hudson says Brucato is well equipped to represent the brand in Raleigh.

“Jose is a fantastic addition to Fresh Coat, and we couldn’t be more excited to partner with talented and hard-working new owners like him,” she said. “We know he will be able to build a strong business and legacy in Raleigh.”
