Meet Stan Lajoie

Stan moved to Spearfish in 2016 from Orlando, FL. He worked on his family’s llama ranch before they sold it and moved. Captivated by the beauty of the Black Hills and the vibrant local climbing community, Stan decided to make Spearfish his home.

He began his career in the area as a painter, gaining eight years of hands-on experience before launching his own company, L & K Painting. Over the past three years, with the support of his wife, Heather, and business partner, Cody, Stan has grown L & K Painting into the thriving business it is today.

Meet Cody Kuehl

Cody, originally from Pierre, South Dakota, moved to Spearfish and quickly fell in love with the Black Hills and its tight-knit climbing community. With three years of painting experience under his belt, he made the bold decision to go into business with his friend and climbing partner, Stan.

Cody’s dedication, strong work ethic, and commitment to his craft have made him a vital part of L & K Painting. As both co-owner and hands-on painter, his pride in his work is evident in every project the team takes on.
