Goens Brothers Celebrates
37 Years
Restoration of the Scarritt
Building, a 1906 Kansas City landmark on
the corner of Eighth and Grand, called for experts in historic
preservation. Goens Bros. Inc., commercial and industrial painting
contractors based in Gladstone, Mo., supplied the crew that performed
plastering, painting, wall covering and faux finishes throughout the
building, which is now on the National Register of Historic Places.
Construction
of Disney's New Tomorrowland, one of seven theme areas in the 107-acre
Magic Kingdom in Orlando, called for reputable contractors who could
keep a secret. Goens Brothers concealed 70-foot towers in their backyard
while crews painted and assembled pieces for the hush-hush project,
which was managed by A. Zahner Sheet Metal Co., Kansas City.
In the company's 37-year history, these projects stand out as
sterling examples of what has made this family-owned and operated
business a success. Whether they're preserving the glory of the past or
painting a vision for the future, Goens Brothers has built a reputation
on quality and honesty. "We think our success comes from hard work,
having employees who are dedicated to their jobs, and maintaining good
workmanship," said owner Ron Goens Sr. "We've kept a good name
in the Kansas City area."
