Our Story – The Proud Paintbrush in Sugar Land, TX
Quick Answer
What is The Proud Paintbrush story?
The Proud Paintbrush in Sugar Land, TX, started as a one-man painting company and has grown into a trusted team serving Sugar Land, Houston, and Missouri City. Our story is about craftsmanship, family, and taking pride in every home we paint.
Our Journey: From Humble Beginnings to a Trusted Painting Company
At The Proud Paintbrush, based in Sugar Land, TX, our story is one of growth, craftsmanship, and community. Founded by Chris Petkau, our company began as a one-man operation and has become a multi-crew painting team serving Sugar Land, Houston, Missouri City, and surrounding areas.
Chris grew up in Vancouver, Canada, with a strong foundation in construction inspired by his father’s concrete business. After moving to Texas in 2020, he turned this hands-on experience into a passion for painting and a clear vision for helping homeowners bring pride back to their homes.
A Family Business With Heart
Building The Proud Paintbrush was not just a business decision—it was born out of family values and perseverance. During the early years, Chris and his wife, Sarah, faced personal challenges, including infertility and IVF. Through faith and determination, they grew stronger as a family and as a company. Today, they are proud parents to their son Isaac and are expecting another boy soon.
This family foundation is the heart of our company. We know what it means to overcome challenges, and we bring that same dedication to every painting project we take on.
