About

My name is Jose Santana Garcia and I am the president of EMC (Equity Maker Corporation). As a licensed contractor specializing in painting, I have experience executing both commercial and residential paint jobs.

The road that led me to fund this corporation started in 1996. This was the year that I immigrated into the United States looking for a brighter future for my family and a good job. The day I became a painter I believed I had found the job I had been searching for and I tried my best to exceed as an employee. Over time things changed and I realized that I could not depend on other people and put both mine and my family’s future in their hands.

So I decided to start my own company. For six months I attended a training course for future contractors that taught me about the laws and responsibilities associated with being a contractor. I attended this course twice so I could make sure I understood all of the terminology and to make up for my lack of English proficiency. I took the test to become a licensed contractor managing to pass it on my first try.

I kept working for the other company for another three years until I had the equipment and financial resources to pay the expenses needed to run my business.

The key to success is in creating a business plan. The plan needs to be realistic, meaning that it can be accomplished through a set of specific predefined steps. Following my own business plan I was able to start EMC. Since then, we have managed to set contracts with some big companies allowing the people in my team to have some stability in their jobs.

In that same time, EMC has managed to create a reputation of satisfying our clients and exceeding their expectations all over San Diego County.
