Our Story – The Proud Paintbrush in Sugar Land, TX
Schedule Your Free EstimateA Family Business With Heart
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.
In 2020, during the uncertainty of COVID, Chris and Sarah made the decision to move to Houston and start a new chapter of their lives. That same year, The Proud Paintbrush was born.
Around that same time, they also learned they were facing infertility and began the difficult journey through IVF treatments. Starting a business while walking through infertility was one of the hardest seasons of their lives, but it strengthened their faith, perseverance, and commitment to building something lasting.
Today, Chris and Sarah are proud parents to their two sons, Isaac and Samuel.
That family foundation remains at the heart of The Proud Paintbrush. We understand what it means to overcome challenges, communicate through difficult situations, and care deeply about the people we serve. We bring that same dedication, pride, and attention to every home we work in.
