OUR STORY

More than just a painting company

Giving All of CT a Fresh Coat

I started in the construction field at the age of 15, helping my stepfather hang gutters throughout the summers and weekends. As his company grew, he dedicated his craft towards roofing and believed it was too dangerous for me. I then found a painting job at a facilities management company, which specialized in meticulous commercial painting for a large hedge fund in Fairfield County. After 5+ years of painting during off-hours (5:00 pm – 1:00 am including weekends), I realized that I needed to find a better work-life balance.

After taking many classes at Housatonic Community College, I transferred to the University of Connecticut and pursued a degree in Business Data Analytics. To pay my way through school, I was constantly doing painting side jobs for family and friends.

Post-graduation, I landed an office job with a great starting salary and many benefits. This "dream" job was not what I once thought it was. After many mornings dreading the commute and spending afternoons counting down the minutes to 5:00 pm, I took the leap of faith. With guidance from my business-minded stepfather and painting skills from my previous employer, I started my very own painting company.
