Where We Come From

Some people fall into their profession. Ivy Gimmel grew up in hers.

Her parents, Brian and Eve Gimmel, founded Painting Pro in 1984, and from the beginning it was more than a business. It was a family craft, a shared standard of quality, and a commitment to showing up for people that never wavered through economic downturns, slow seasons, or anything else the years threw at them. Painting Pro never closed its doors. Not once.

Ivy spent her life watching that dedication up close, and eventually it became her own. With Brian and Eve's full blessing, she set out to build something new on that same foundation. That's Blue Ribbon Painting.

The name is different. The generation behind it is different. But the values are exactly the same: premium materials, honest pricing, skilled craftsmanship, and a genuine pride in the finished product. Ivy carries the family's love for this trade into every project Blue Ribbon takes on, backed by a crew that feels the same way about the work.

Value 1: Quality Without Compromise We use premium paint products on every job, not just the big-budget ones. Good materials make a real difference in how long your paint job lasts and how well it holds up, and that's never something we're willing to skimp on.

Value 2: Honest, Transparent Pricing We give you a clear quote up front and we stick to it. No surprise charges, no vague line items. You'll know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before any work begins.

Value 3: Respect for Your Home Whether we're painting a single room or a full commercial exterior, we treat every property like it belongs to someone we care about. Thorough prep, clean job sites, and attention to detail that makes the finished product look exactly the way it should.
