Jason Duke, Franchise Owner
Certa ProPainters
evolved from Protec Painting and Decorating, a third generation company
established in 1978 by Jason Duke and Philip Duke Jr. under the name of
Protec Contracting. Phil was already the second generation of the Duke
family in the painting and decorating business. Phil Sr. had been a
retailer in the painting and decorating industry for 20 years when Phil
Jr. entered into partnership with his father in 1969, operating The
Paint Place and Phil's Paint Center on Albert Street until 1978. Phil
closed the store and continued as a painting contractor under the name
Protec Contracting. Phil remains as active and integral part of Certa
ProPainters.
Jason's painting experience began with working in the
paint store and then as a laborer on his father's projects. Jason took
on summer employment with other painting companies while attending
university. He was soon given large responsibilities. His employers
continually entrusted his trouble shooting and job planning abilities.
Jason's time with other contractors produced a broader
perspective and a chance to fine tune his management and technical
skills. In April of 1988, Jason became the sole owner of Protec Painting
and decorating, which initially performed commercial contracts, then
expanded into the residential sector. Protec merged with Certa
ProPainters in 1991. Jason is the Painting,
Wall covering and Special Wall
Coating Trade Technical Representative for the Saskatchewan Bid
Depository for five years running. He holds this position due to his
knowledge of the industry and the products being produced and used in
today's commercial and residential markets.
