Our story
A little about us.
Since 1994, Jeff Gibson and Alex Fish have been providing painting services in the Portland area as G&F Painting. Jeff and Alex had over 20 years combined experience when they met in the early 1990s while working for the same company. When their employer closed shop, they took the opportunity to create their own business.
They worked essentially as a two-man operation for the next 12 years. In 2005, after a few seasons of being offered more work than they could handle, they began to hire painters to help in the busy summer months. For a few years they operated with “bigger is better” as a business model, before deciding that maintaining a small workforce better enabled them to deliver the quality and responsiveness that their repeat customers had come to expect.
Today, Jeff and Alex work together to discuss and plan every job, and one or both of them is on each job daily. There are seasonal personnel changes to accommodate the busier times of year, but with a couple of consistent and reliable team members, they are able to produce work that the whole team is proud of and that customers appreciate.
