Our Story 

Family-Owned Craftsmanship Rooted in North Georgia

Through the decades, Painting by Pros has remained a family business, growing through word of mouth and a reputation for correcting substandard work left by others. Bringing Michael, Gary’s son, into the fold has ensured our tradition continues with fresh energy and unwavering standards. Every project receives the personal attention of our experienced team, never farmed out or rushed for volume. We pride ourselves on educating homeowners, answering every question, clarifying the process, and delivering solutions that last. Our legacy is built on homes in Jefferson, Commerce, Winder, and across the region, where our work stands the test of time and weather.
