Meet Our Team
Renee Duerksen
Owner
Renee founded Synergy Painting Inc in the summer of 2001 after working for Frazee Paints and a short stint for a new construction company and seeing a need for a strong repaint company in the Phoenix area. Breaking traditional barriers as a female owned contract company Synergy Painting Inc quickly became a leader in the Phoenix market focusing on multi-family and commercial tilt repaints. Renee relied heavily on her sales experience gained from years of previous sales experience with relationship first, business opportunity second, backed by performance, philosophy.
Matt Duerksen
Owner
Matt has been involved with painting his whole adult life. Working for a Co-Op in a small town in rural Minnesota, he painted LP tanks and Fertilizer plants during the summers. Worked for a paint company while attending South Dakota Sate University and later owned a house painting company until graduating with a business degree. Moving to Arizona to find steady contracting work, Matt met Renee while still at Frazee Paints. After working as supplier and contractor together on many projects it was time to join forces, and by bringing his contractor license and trade experience to the equation “Synergy” was born.
