About Dan Ross

"The better the paint looks, the better we look." —Dan Ross

Born in Atlanta, Ga., Dan grew up in San Diego and considers himself a "native" in all but birth. He graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he majored in Chinese History.

A painter for 38 years, Dan's true love is spending time with family and friends. His interests include travel, cooking, sports (football, rugby, basketball, volleyball), sunny days at the beach, reading, movies, and vegetable gardening.

Dan believes that exceptional materials and exceptional execution are critical to an outstanding result.

"The big difference is that better materials flow out and lay smoother, they are easier to apply and cover better (which saves in labor costs), the colors will be more stable and resist fading, they will last and look good longer, and they will clean up better."

Dan personally stands behind all job estimates and would enjoy discussing your next project with you. Please contact him at office@rosspainting.com.

About Chris Brown

"Your Integrity is what defines your business.." —Chris Brown

As "second in command" of Ross Painting, Chris Brown brings an artists' eye to each project. This should be no surprise because of Chris’ major in Fine Art at Central Missouri State University near Warrensburg, MO.

Although born in a small town outside of Kansas City, MO, Chris moved to the Bay area in 1998. He has been a professional painter for 27 years.

Chris defines an outstanding paint job as being comprised of excellent paint products that afford clients a long lasting, sophisticated look. Chris routinely recommends “top shelf” products for many reasons, all of which add up to quality.

"The difference in the bid price between medium or low priced products and high priced “top shelf” products is minimal as a percentage of the entire project,” Chris explained recently. “Labor costs in painting are approximately 85% of the job so the materials become less of an issue regarding costs. Therefore, typically we prefer to use the higher quality products."

Chris demands flawless execution "because it's important to my clients."

"There is a satisfaction and pride that you get as a craftsman from producing a paint job that is near flawless (nothing is truly flawless) and knowing that not many people can produce this level of quality painting."

When not supervising projects for Ross Painting, Chris trains in mixed martial arts, exercises, reads American history, and enjoys "traveling, family and friends, raising my children, remodeling my home, and architecture (new and old)."

Chris supervises every project. For questions on how Ross Painting's process creates seamless execution and on-time schedules, please email him at office@rosspainting.com.
