Testimonial
Ron Cameron has been a valuable asset to our company for years. His products have always performed as promised, and he has always been available for questions. Ron brings us great knowledge of products and procedures related to all kinds of finishes. I rarely call that I don’t speak to him immediately, and when I do leave a message it is promptly returned. Ron and Finishes 1st have been the preferred supplier for Jeremiah Johnson Log Homes and Anderson Custom Homes for years, and we see no end to this great relationship."
