Our Values
We Sweat the Details
We deliver premium quality with no exceptions. Every brushstroke matters. We protect and transform our customers’ most valuable assets through meticulous attention to the small things that make a big difference. When we say we deliver “exceptional results and elite service,” we mean it.
We Do the Job with Pride
We own every aspect of our work. We show up dressed as professionals, treat customer property with respect, and maintain our tools and equipment to the highest standards. Our reputation is built on each job we complete, and we sign our name to our work with pride.
We Value Our People
We hold the ladder for each other. Our team members are our greatest asset, and we’re committed to providing exceptional employment opportunities that allow everyone to grow. We build lasting relationships—with our team, our customers, and our communities—based on mutual respect and trust.
We Work Hard (and Smart). We Have Fun. And We Give Back.
We bring intensity and enthusiasm to every job—but always return home safely at the end of the day. We celebrate our successes, protect our well-being, and actively improve our communities through service—because our purpose extends beyond painting. We’re here to make a difference while taking care of ourselves and each other.
