About
Welcome! I’m Troy Eggen, owner of Nordic Colors. I have been in the painting industry for over 35 years and along with my wife Sena, opened Nordic Colors in December of 1998. As an owner, operator, I am a hands-on contractor so you will see me out with my crew performing the actual work on every job site. Nordic Colors Painting has a solid reputation that we take very seriously.
If you’re wondering about the origin of our name, it has a story. It’s a tribute to my heritage. While I was born in South San Jose, California, I was raised in Oslo, Norway. I came back to the states at the age of eighteen.
My first job, working side-by-side with the owner of a small tile company, taught me the meaning of what it was like to be a small business owner. After a couple of years, I moved on, working for TM Painting in Freemont, where I spent the next 8 years learning the painting trade. Both companies showed me that you are only as good as the work you perform. So I chose the “hands on contractor” model for my own company, partly because I love what I do and because I get to monitor our process from estimates to finished projects. We maintain a great team of craftsman to rely on for quality workmanship.
Quality of work means everything to me!
