"The greatest reward is having my sons in the business and seeing it grow, I see a great future ahead of us. We've been growing for the last 34 years, and we're going to continue to grow." -Ron Goens

   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."
