ABOUT US
"The bitterness of poor quality remains long after
the sweetness of low price is forgotten"
Since 2005 our companies main focus has been older homes with lead base paint issues.
In 2010 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) put into affect laws that would serve to protect all people working in a field that can potentially pose a lead hazard. These laws eliminate or greatly reduce the exposure not only to workers but homeowners and families, neighbors, and the surrounding environment.
We have dedicated ourselves to understanding how lead base paint affects the overall painting process. How it changes and evolves over time and affects new paint. We have gained intimate knowledge of how to work with it and anticipate it’s ever changing demand for attention. We are licensed and trained in accordance to all EPA federal and state laws and rules on how to safely work with Lead Paint in a variety of abatement processes. All employees are trained daily and attend weekly safety meetings to insure everyone is following the laws and protecting themselves and our homeowners from the hazards of lead base paint. We are able to educate homeowners on the technical condition of their paint and give them all the options available so they can make an educated decision on what option works best for them.
Owner-Rick Trudeau
Painting one last time
Our company was started by a husband and wife team who had the great sense to start small and slowly build by earning the trust of clients. The results of quality work and intimate knowledge of painting helped us to grow into a company that is now known by name in the industry.
Rick has been the main force behind Shades of Rose Painting. He named the company after his wife Rose.
Sadly Rick passed away in 2024. His inspiration is not lost on us who knew him for so long.
Rick and Rose Trudeau

Accounting, payroll and taxes - Yikes

Cory - Young Cory has been working for us for 8 years. He is a homeowners favorite because of his charisma, knowledge and infectous laugh. He shows up with a big smile everyday and is one of our top guys poised to be much more. Fun fact- Cory loves running around his back yard. :)
Tyler- TJ as we call him, started working for us in 2015.
A Rock-Star right out of the gate at 21 years old. By far one of the fastest and skilled painters we have ever seen.
There are more good people we employ and do great work. They learn our values and we hope to feature their stories as well.
