About the Wiebe family

Albert I. Wiebe, born in 1909, was a painter in the old days. He saw the roller take over the task of painting larger areas. In years past, the paint brush was the only tool used to apply paint. The sprayer Albert used is now and antique and has been replaced by modern spray equipment. Albert's own words to his children were these: "Never roll paint with a dry roller." He also left behind a legacy of honest business ethics and quality workmanship.

Albert's son, Ralph, was born in 1947. He studied painting as a trade at the age of 18 receiving his diploma in 1968. Ralph started his painting career, and the logo on his first truck was "We Work Wonders With Walls". For almost 40 years he has been doing just that. Hard work and years of experience helped him earn a good reputation enabling him to see steady growth in his business.

Ralph’s son, Phil, was born in 1975, becoming the third generation painter. He enjoys working with his hands, creating finishes, and learning new techniques for ever-changing products. With many hours of work experience and studying, he challenged his exam and received his diploma in 2001.

Over 50 years of combined knowledge in addition to a keen interest in what they do gives the Wiebe family a great opportunity to provide an excellent service to Steinbach and the surrounding area.

In 2006 the Wiebe family built a new shop to accommodate their growing business, moving from rural Kleefeld, MB, to the city of Steinbach. They now have a retail store carrying the General Paint product line. In addition to good quality paint they sell an extensive line of faux finishing products which are all water based.

Ralph and Helen, Phil and Brenda and growing family of 3, Adrianna, Willliam and Jayda, would like to provide you with at least another 50 years of quality products, superior service and solid advice.

Time has changed the painting industry in many ways but for the Wiebe family some things stay the same throughout the years. Quality workmanship and honest business ethics are never old-fashioned and they never go out of style.
