“Over the past twelve years that we have known Richard Sophir, we have found him to be very reliable in terms of representing his products, and he has built our confidence in his ability to support his product. He presents his products to architects, specifiers, and designers in a professional manner, and has worked with us to satisfy our concerns regarding providing quality products for our clients.
Rich is one of those few manufacturers reps that we have learned to rely upon and feel that we can get a straight answer to any question that might arise concerning his products. We would also recommend him for his efforts to improve the construction industry, as evidenced by his dedication to and involvement in 3 chapters of the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI).”

“I have been a commercial painting contractor in Kansas City, Missouri for 34 years. During this time I came to know Richard Sophir through his selling efforts for his family-owned paint manufacturing company, Sophir Morris Paint, which he started in Kansas City and helped build until its sale in 2001. Richard always provided outstanding customer service. His product knowledge, his professionalism, his honesty and integrity, all these things make him a person I could count on and trust for all the years he called on my company selling paint. I know that in the 15 years he has been calling on architects he has made an excellent name for himself in the design professional community. Architects who have worked with him are impressed by his sincerity, his knowledge, and his deep desire to provide well informed advice for any given situation within his area of expertise.”

Few people that I have encountered in my 35 years in the industry have exhibited such zeal and enthusiasm for what he does. Rich is a service-oriented individual, and I have come to depend on him for information on architectural paints and coatings issues. I respect Rich for what he has always done in bringing quality service and products to the industry. His people skills are outstanding, and his knowledge of the large Kansas City architectural community is equally outstanding.”
