This month we introduce
you to Dave Jones Painting
and its owner Daveton Jones.
Daveton Jones and Maria
Sabatino moved to the
North Shuswap in August of
2019. They came to visit
friends and loved what
they saw. They had a view
of Copper Island and the
lake and thought it would
be amazing to wake up to
that scene every morning.
They sold their home at the
coast and bought
in Scotch Creek.
Everything fell so
neatly into place for
them, they knew it
was the right move.
The same view that
captured them, is
visible from their
living room and
loft.
Daveton Jones
is an accomplished
guitarist/vocalist.
He spent 12 years
as the lead singer in a Vancouver
based band, Soul Survivors.
A trained contemporary
musician, Daveton
plays a wide range of music
including blues, jazz, reggae
and contemporary. He
performs solo, in duos, trios
and sometimes with a band.
Obviously the last two years
have curtailed performance
options but since his move,
Daveton has participated in
numerous local gigs and recently
appeared at the newly
re-opened Hub.
While music is Daveton
Jones’ primary passion, his
artistic talents are not limited
to performance arts. He is
also a skilled painter as well
as a being able to do drywall
and taping. Having spent
over 25 years on his craft,
Dave has honed his skills
and takes great pride in his
work. While he will spray
a project when conditions
are right, such as in a vacant
space, he prefers to use a
roller and brush as it allows
for more control.
When Daveton is working
on a project for Dave
Jones Painting Service, he
pays very close attention to
all aspects of the job. He ensures
that the paint is mixed
correctly so that the colours
go on evenly with no sticky
or spotty messes. The job
is never done until Dave is

Scotch Creek
20 years experience
happy that
he has
the look
right, with
the walls
displaying
smooth,
uniform
colour
no matter
what
the light
source.
Once Daveton
takes
on a job, he applies himself
as if he is working on his
own home. He guarantees to
do what it takes to satisfy the
customer and he has to be
even more satisfied than they
are before the job is done!
Maria Sabatino, Daveton’s
amazing artist partner,
helps out with painting when
she is needed. Dave credits
her as sometimes being both
his left and right arm. Together
they are a strong team
that works together to complete
projects for Dave Jones
Painting Service customers.
When Daveton is not
busy with Dave Jones Painting
or his music, he and
Maria indulge in very simple
pleasures. They have a boat
and enjoy being out on the
water. They also like to have
dinner with friends. After 35
years in the hustle and bustle
