About Us
Steve Schneider - President
For over twenty five years, Steve has built a solid reputation as an prominent painting and wallcovering contractor. He is committed to providing quality service and upholding Dependable's reputation as an honest and reliable business. The choosing of the name "Dependable" was no accident. He believes in "old school" business practices, putting the customer first, and never compromising on quality of service or materials. He is a hands on President, the companies chief estimator and also assists in project managing, field supervision, and wallcovering installation.
Walter Nielsen General Superintendent
One might say, that Walter has literally
worked his way to his current position, from the ground up. As a third
generation wood flooring contractor, he was an obvious hire back in 1987, when
custom woodworking was at it's peak in the Miami market. From that time on, he
has directed the completion of over one thousand projects. He is currently
responsible for all major commercial and institutional projects, including new
buildings and large-scale renovations. In his twenty two years with Dependable,
Walter has never missed a deadline, making personal sacrifices to keep our
clients on schedule.
Nico De
Zeeuw - Wallcovering Estimator/Superintendent
Nick has been supervising and installing
wallcovering for Dependable, for over twenty three years. As a second generation
paperhanger, he started installing wallcovering in Holland at the age of
thirteen. At fourteen, he immigrated to Canada, where he enrolled at the
Southern Institute of Technology for four years, graduating as a Master
Decorator. He moved to the United States and opened his own business in Colorado
in 1982. In 1986, he moved to Miami, where we were fortunate enough to hire him.
With over forty years of installation experience, Nick brings a vast amount of
wallcovering knowledge to the firm. Besides estimating and supervising, he is
our chief installer of murals, painted canvas, and fabric
installations.
Shawn Stanakis - Assistant SuperintendentSafety Coordinator
Shawn, although the youngest member of our management staff, he is no stranger to the painting business. A second generation painter, he can remember visiting job sites as a child, when he could barely pick up a scaffold wheel. We immediately employed him full time, after he turned eighteen, back in 1996. He is currently responsible for assisting with field activities, site supervision, quality control, site safety, and weekly safety meetings. Along with Walter, one of Shawn's top priorities is with keeping Dependable "on track" for project completions.
