Commercial paint and roof coatings happen to be What we do. Our philanthropy captures the essence of Who we are.
“We dream not of paint on future-built skyscrapers or bridges but of serving and inspiring those young people within our reach to be the builders of such structures.”
-Cory Summerhays, Founder & CEO
Unforgettable Gift
The “Unforgettable Gift” grant program by UCI provides one family every year with $15k to spend on fertility procedures or adoption services. The program started in 2016 and continually reminds our entire exterior painting and commercial roof contracting team the importance of our work.
SafeNest is a non-profit program committed to ending domestic violence in Clark County, Nevada. An additional part of their mission lends support to those affected by broken homes. They do this by inspiring hope in future generations and focusing on personal empowerment. For over two years, UCI has been a special donor to SafeNest, donating funds earned through our commercial painting projects.
An Unforgettable Gift. Christmas Eve. Every year since 2010.
I was blessed with an incredibly kind and loving mother. She is by far the most selfless individual I know. As a single teenage mother of two, she still managed to support her young family by working two jobs, oftentimes late into the night. I don’t remember opening gifts during the holiday season as a child, I do remember visiting kids we didn’t know and buying them gifts the day before Christmas.
The one gift I do remember receiving as a young boy was a set of red Rossignol skis, the ones with a small rooster on the tips. Such an expensive gift was out of the norm on Christmas Day and therefore made an indelible mark on my memory. The gift came from my mother’s employer, a man named Leon. This man became my first mentor, my first Business Leader, one that, to this day, I still don’t really know.
This company holiday tradition is a nod to both Mom and Leon — two who have inspired me, and left me forever following their lead.
