Meet Brian Baker

GLFS Executive Director of Business Development

I have more than 15 years of experience in the painting, industrial coatings, and surface preparations trade. I know and love this industry, and my entire philosophy is based on relationships. I know every one of the contractors in our network. Once you get in touch with me and share your project details, I can match you with your Perfect Fit finishing contractor, one who can meet your needs, and hopefully exceed your expectations.

I have two goals. One is to give high-quality finishing contractors more work opportunities, and the other is to make sure you’re happy with your project from start to finish. If the second goal is taken care of, the first one will be, too.

Bidding and selecting a finishing contractor can be a tedious process if you’re doing it on your own, but you can rest assured that Great Lake Finishing Solution’s recommendations will be of the highest quality. Only the finishing contractors who maintain the highest levels of safety and productivity get work opportunities from us.
