How it all began...
Senior Vice President Jeff Lewis began Lewis & Lewis Painting as a small business in a small town in Pennsylvania in the year of 1987. Jeff just came out of the army and didn't know what he wanted to do with his life. His grandfather told him to learn a trade, because it was something he could take to the bank. In 1980,his grandmother took Jeff to his cousin's where he learned the ropes of being a painter. Jeff then went to work at A.N. Saxton Painting and then later he worked at Haven Homes where he gained his painting experience. In 1987 while still working at Haven Homes he started a small painting business on the side. In 1988 the business started to prosper. But at the same time they still worked other painting jobs. In 1998 the Lewis' moved to Florida, where the painting business went on a standstill. Then in 2003 the business was up and running but this time as a corporation. The business is a family owned business. And since 2003, they have painted 100s of homes in the Volusia, Flagler, and Bevard areas where they worked for several builders. In the Magazine Premier Builders Homes & Communities of Volusia County for 2007, Lewis & Lewis Painting Inc. had won countless awards. One builder won five awards for their three model homes that they painted. They also won a second builder an award for his model home. The second builder also won countless awards in 2005, 2006, and 2007 for their homes in the Parade of Homes. Jeff Lewis has 29 years painting experience from 1980 to present day, where his experience is still climbing. Also to this day Lewis & Lewis Painting Inc. is striving to have the best painting reputation in the Volusia/Flagler area.
In 2003 when the business incorporated Lori Lewis, Jeff Lewis Jr, came on board. Lori Lewis is now the President and the CEO of the business. Jeff Jr worked with his dad over the summers while not in school, but now he is a full time Vice President of Residential area.
Lori Lewis was inducted into Cambridge Who's Who from 2006 to 2008, where she won two awards.

10 Ways To Empower Your Employees :
The word empower is often overused. Many employers talk about empowering their employees but often employees feel disempowered. Here's a list of the top 10 things you can do that will really empower your employees, according to employees, not employers!
1. Allow employees to actively participate in team and company goals.
Look for every opportunity to include employees at every level of the organization, in being active participants. Employees often report getting one-way directives instead.
2. Allow employees to suggest better ways of getting their jobs done.
Ask for employee suggestions for other ways of getting the task or project accomplished. Listen and be willing to really hear the employees' comments. Employees often report that they have no input and are told exactly how to perform their jobs, leaving no creativity.
3. Provide positive reinforcement.
Always listen and acknowledge your employees. Employees often report that their decisions and actions are second-guessed and that most, if not all, feedback given is negative.
4. Clearly delegate responsibility and give the employees authority along with the responsibility.
Do you give inconsistent messages? Do you ask the employee to handle a problem or project and then give them negative feedback or give them an assignment and then say "never-mind?" Employees often report that they are given tasks and then told they did it wrong.
5. Be clear in your communication.
When you express goals or explain projects, be sure the employees really understand what you are asking for. Employees often report that the goals are unclear and that they are not sure what they are being asked to do.
6. Show you have trust in your employees.
Allow them to make mistakes as a form of learning. Show that it is really ok to make mistakes. Let them know you really support their decisions. Employees often report that someone is always looking over their shoulder to make sure they do things right.
7. Listen. Listen. Listen.
Do you do most of the talking? Employees often report that conversations are one way, comprised mostly of their ideas being criticized. They don't feel they are heard.
8. Be interested in the employees' career development.
Meet with employees and discover their goals and their wants. Employees often report that their goals are not viewed as important in the organization.
9. Let the employees help you achieve success.
Are you doing it all yourself? Employees often report that their managers do all the tasks and that they have no way to make contributions outside their job descriptions. Look for opportunities to delegate and enhance the employees' career development at the same time.
10. Be a coach.
The best way to empower employees is not to manage them. Coach them to success. This is a process of developing their skills and providing them specific feedback to meet high standards. Employees often report feeling like children rather than being on the same team with their bosses. Be their coach and lead the team to success!
