We hire locally, train properly, and keep the work in and around Matthews. If you want a trade you can build a career on, without living out of a truck, read on.

Why Here

Four Reasons People Stay

Painting is physical work in heat and cold. Here is what we offer in return.

  • You are home for dinner

    Our jobs are in Matthews and the towns around it, not two hours away. Most days start and end close to home.

  • Prep done right, not rushed

    We price the washing, repair, caulk and primer into every job, so you are not pushed to skip steps to make a deadline.

  • Small crew, no call center

    Calls come to our Matthews office. You will know everyone on the crew and the owner by name.

  • Work you can be proud of

    Most of what we paint is somebody's home, and a clean, lasting job is what gets us the next one.

These apply to all field roles. We would rather be straight about them now.

  • Be 18 or older and legally able to work in the United States.
  • Hold a valid driver license with a clean record.
  • Pass a background check, because you will be working inside people's homes.
  • Be comfortable working on ladders and in summer heat.
  • Be able to lift around 50 lb (23 kg) repeatedly.
  • Show up on time, every day; the homeowner is waiting.
