Cook's Painting & Construction
Guest: Greg & Molly Cook, Cook’s Painting & Construction
Host: Alison Shores (Camden County Chamber of Commerce)
Episode Summary
Alison sits down with husband-and-wife team Greg and Molly Cook to talk about building a trustworthy, relationship-first painting and light construction business after moving to Camden County “by happenstance.” Greg shares how a summer job he once hated turned into a 25-year career and, in 2018, the launch of Cook’s Painting & Construction—now serving customers across Camden and beyond.
They walk through what they actually do (interior/exterior painting, drywall/ceiling repair, pressure washing, wood-rot fixes, plus vetted referrals for larger construction needs) and why their approach stands out: show up when you say you will, help customers make smart, cost-sensible decisions, and finish on time—even during hurricane season. Alison adds a personal testimonial about her parents’ storm repairs to underscore the team’s responsiveness and honesty.
Listeners also get a peek at the Cooks’ signature customer-thank-you gift (mini “Cook’s” champagne bottles with their logo), their heart for mentoring up-and-coming tradespeople, favorite local spots, early-bird routines, and life with their dogs. The episode closes with a reminder to follow Cook’s Painting & Construction for dependable help across Camden County and surrounding areas.
