Joseph Harwood first formed Harwood painting in 1971. In 1978 Harwood Services was formed and incorporated by Joseph Harwood.
In 1989 in addition to the high-end residential painting Harwood services had been doing for the past 10 plus years, a Commercial Division was formed at the request of many long time commercial customers.
In 2000, Paul Cox, at the time was a 13 year employee of Harwood Services, purchased ½ of the commercial Division of Harwood Services. A separate Company was formed and incorporated to reflect the new ownership of the Commercial Division, Harwood Services Commercial Inc. This was done so as to allow the continued operation and ownership of the Residential Division to remain as it had for years.
In 2001 Harwood Services Commercial began operating as a separate corporation. Paul Cox is Vice-President in charge of operations.
