At Davis Painting, the work is high-quality—but what makes people stay isn’t just the projects, it’s the culture.

Ask any long-time team member and they’ll tell you the same thing: Colby Davis runs things differently. From day one, he’s believed in creating a workplace where people feel valued—not just for their output, but for who they are. Whether it’s a new crew member learning the ropes or a seasoned leader overseeing multiple jobs, Colby’s leadership style is consistent: hands-on, honest, and always invested in people first.

“He actually listens,” one team member said. “There’s no ego. He wants to hear your ideas, and he makes sure you know you’re a part of something bigger.”

Colby’s philosophy is rooted in loyalty and growth. He believes in giving people opportunities—real ones. Promotions come from within, training is encouraged, and respect is non-negotiable. This isn’t a revolving door job. It’s a place to build a career.

By setting a high standard, holding people accountable, and leading by example, Colby has built more than a team—he’s built a community. One that paints homes with precision, shows up early, and stands by their work.

That’s why Davis Painting isn’t just known for its finishes—it’s known for the people who make them happen.
