The Heartfelt Story Behind The Proud Paintbrush

Why Sugar Land Homeowners Trust The Proud Paintbrush for Residential Painting

If you’re looking for residential painting in Sugar Land, TX, there’s a good chance you want more than just a fresh coat of paint—you want to feel proud of your home. That’s exactly why I started The Proud Paintbrush, a local Sugar Land painting company committed to excellence, community, and family values.

From Vancouver to Sugar Land: A Story of Faith, Family, and Fresh Paint

Hi, I’m Chris Petkau, owner of The Proud Paintbrush. Originally from Vancouver, Canada, I moved to the U.S. in 2007, eventually planting roots here in beautiful Sugar Land, Texas. Growing up in construction and inspired by my dad’s concrete company, I decided to pursue my own dream: launching a residential painting business that homeowners could truly rely on.

Starting a painting company in Sugar Land wasn’t easy—especially while my wife Sarah and I were also beginning our journey through IVF. But through it all, we leaned on faith, supported one another, and stayed focused. Today, we’re the proud parents of our son Isaac—and yes, we’re currently on the road toward welcoming baby number two.

The Growth of a Painting Company That Cares

What began as a one-man operation—just me, a brush, and a dream—has grown into a multiple-crew painting company serving hundreds of homes across Sugar Land and Fort Bend County.
