Build your career with a fourth-generation painting company committed to excellence.

Our Culture

Working for
Fridenmaker Painting

We're a fourth-generation luxury residential painting company looking for people who care about doing work they're proud of.

Who You'll Work For

A small, growing team led by people who came up doing this work ourselves. We understand what it takes to deliver precision on $1.5M+ homes, and we don't ask our team to do anything we wouldn't do ourselves.

Our leadership came from the field — no unrealistic timelines, no cutting corners, and genuine respect for the craft.

What Makes This Different

Most painters chase volume. We chase quality. You'll work on high-end residential projects where the details actually matter — where a perfectly executed finish or flawless trim is noticed and appreciated by both clients and the team.

You're not one of fifty painters at a large outfit; you're part of a small team where your work is visible and your growth is noticed.

Year-Round Stability

We offer year-round work in an industry where that's rare. You're not wondering where next month's paycheck comes from. We've built systems and processes that let us plan ahead, stay organized, and operate as a real business — not a hustle.

What We Value

We want people who take pride in their work, communicate well with clients and crew, and appreciate working with a team that has their back.

Room to Grow

As we expand into ultra-high-end markets, there are genuine opportunities to develop deeper specialization — whether that's decorative finishes, cabinet refinishing, or project leadership.
