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 seven 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.
