Crafting a Legacy of Excellence, Integrity & Empowerment
Crown Painting began in California in 2012 as a passionate two-person venture operating out of a modest 10-by-10 cottage. Fueled by dedication and craftsmanship, we expanded in 2017 with the opening of our Reno, Nevada office. Today, we proudly serve both Modesto and Reno with a talented team of over 100 full-time painters.
In 2023, co-founder Gretchen Arbini stepped into the role of President and CEO, becoming sole proprietor and marking a powerful new chapter: Crown Painting is now a 100% women-owned business. This milestone reflects our unwavering commitment to leadership, innovation, and inclusivity in the trades.
Our portfolio spans a wide spectrum of commercial and industrial projects—from large-scale industrial tanks and warehouse tilt-ups to retail centers and secure facility maintenance. We hand-select highly skilled painters with specialized expertise to ensure every project is executed with precision, professionalism, and care.
At the heart of Crown Painting are the values that define us: pride, teamwork, service, safety, honesty, transparency, and dependability. With decades of industry experience, a personalized approach to customer care, and a loyal base of repeat clients, we’ve built a reputation as a trusted partner in commercial and industrial painting.
