A Reputation
for Quality
For 30 yeai-s our business has lxen conducted
along the lines of one quality the highest. A
Bugg paint job has always meant the use of the
liest materials applied by skilled painters.
Look over the highest class paint jobs in La
Grande. Even after several years they look
well. On the other hand, a look at some of this
"Just as good" work will reveal the fact that
when it comes to painting the cheapest is the
most costly.
Estimates cheerfully given prices as low as
honest work and good material will allow.
