They conduct ongoing safety audits, training, and feedback to ensure our team operates in the safest possible environment.
We are proud to have been recognized as a 2025 Top Workplace by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, our third consecutive year receiving this award. In addition, STL Magazine named us the A-List painting company in St. Louis in 2023 and 2024. These honors reflect the strong culture and supportive environment we’ve built for our employees.
That commitment extends to our benefits as well. Our PTO program now includes sick pay, giving our team more flexibility and peace of mind when it matters most.
