Meet the Inventor
Bret Anderson
Bret has been in the construction and handyman business for over 40 years. He started out using the traditional tools of the trade and then decided that there must be a better way.
He started coming up with prototypes of different tools that can be used to assist the painting process. One of the tasks that took the most time out of painting was avoiding paint spots on the ceiling when the purpose was to paint the wall. That's how The Roller Stopper idea was created.
