The Monona Chamber and Economic Development (MCED) welcomed its newest member, Brenen’s Interior and Exterior Painting, of Luana, to the community Sept. 8 with a ribbon cutting event. Owned by Brenen Steele, the business offers interior and exterior painting services for commercial, residential and agricultural buildings.
Originally from southeast Minnesota, Steele said he’s a second-generation painter.
“My dad taught me to do things right the first time,” he told those gathered at the ribbon cutting. Steele said he focuses on doing a nice job and trying to please his customers.
Steele said he bought out Kautman Painting, of McGregor, which has turned him on to some clientele in the local communities.
He added that he’s already done a few jobs, including Shane Malanaphy’s apartment building at 104 S. Page St., in Monona, where the ribbon cutting was held. He said the building was interesting to paint since it was once a hospital.
