If you are a homeowner and have been for some time, you likely know that there are skilled designers capable of illustrating your vision so a carpenter can assemble it, an installer can secure it for use, and a painter can put the finishing touches on it. Typically, each of these steps requires a different craftsman, excellent at their specialty but rarely will you find someone who can do it all. From imagination, to illustration, to construction and assembly, to fine finish coating, Cameron Sheffield of Makota Painting and Handyman Service is one such craftsman.
Cameron grew up in the Snohomish County area and benefited from watching and working with his father, Buzz Sheffield, who owned Northsound Painting for decades. Working alongside his dad, Cameron was able to develop a strong foundation, built on hard work, integrity, and a genuine interest in others. Couple that with a creative mind and a skilled hand, Cameron saw the opportunity to start his own business, one that would allow him to provide a unique service to those interested in customizing their home to best suit their unique needs.
In 2019, Cameron, along with his wife Natalie, started Makota Painting and Handyman Services, offering creative design, custom millwork and finish carpentry, residential interior and exterior painting, bathroom remodels, decks, fences, and yard-scape services aimed at making outdoor living as beautiful and comfortable as indoor. Much of the work Cameron and his team do is exterior painting and especially during the Spring, Summer, and early Fall seasons but Cameron is known to take on a variety of non-painting projects at the request of those he serves. Whether adding some character and depth to a staircase wall by designing and installing a grid system before painting or re-imagining a backyard for a client who wanted it to be more beautiful and usable, Cameron is intent on listening so he can gain the understanding necessary in bringing the vision to life. “Bringing to life people's dreams for their homes is something I love to do and something that I will always love to do,” states Cameron, “seeing the smiles on the customer's faces when it is all done is what makes doing this work so amazing and why I do what I do.”
Another aspect that is very important to Cameron is the trust clients have for him and his team. Cameron says, “We treat every home as if it’s our own, ensuring that our customers feel secure and at ease with our services.” It is disruptive to have people working in and around our home but knowing that each employee has been through a rigorous selection process coupled with a thorough background check is emblematic of the seriousness and intentionality Makota applies to each encounter. Because of this and their meticulous attention to detail, Makota is invited back to serve their clientele whenever the need arises, and they have a considerable amount of both referral and repeat business.
As you can imagine, family and community are integral to what makes Cameron and everyone at Makota serve with a level of excellence. Mr. Sheffield (Buzz) continues to paint as his schedule allows, giving Cameron and the team both an extra set of hands but also the wisdom only available from decades of service. Natalie, Cameron’s wife, provides marketing and management oversight for this licensed contractor, allowing Cameron to focus his attention on client needs, guiding his team, and exceeding expectations. Even the name of the company is connected to the family, it is a combination of their daughters’ names – Madison and Dakota.
Additionally, you will find Makota visible in the community supporting local youth fund-raising events, serving at the Mukilteo Lighthouse Festival as well as whenever the community needs manpower to get something done. In short, they are active in business, support our youth, and serve their community with the same level of excellence they deliver to a client.
