Colby Davis knows that a great company is built on great people. At Davis Painting, that belief is more than just a slogan—it’s the backbone of how the business operates. From the first handshake to the final brushstroke, Colby looks for more than just technical skill. He seeks out individuals who embody trust, initiative, and a deep respect for the work they do.

“We can teach someone how to paint,” Colby says. “But you can’t teach work ethic or integrity. That has to already be in someone’s DNA.”

What Colby values most is accountability. His team is trusted to represent Davis Painting on job sites, in neighborhoods, and within the homes of their clients. That level of trust requires more than just showing up on time—it demands personal responsibility, attention to detail, and pride in a job well done.

Colby also looks for people who are eager to grow. Whether it’s learning new techniques, mentoring junior painters, or stepping into leadership roles, Davis Painting is built to support long-term career development. It’s not just about filling roles—it’s about building futures.

This philosophy is why Davis Painting continues to attract top-tier talent and maintain a reputation for excellence across Pennsylvania and New Jersey. When clients see a Davis Painting crew arrive, they know they’re not just getting a coat of paint—they’re getting a team of professionals who reflect Colby Davis’s commitment to quality, from the inside out.
