A Workplace That Invests in Your Future
At 89-Paint, we take your future seriously. Many companies talk about growth, but we build clear pathways for it. Our team members have the opportunity to earn competitive pay with full benefits available within the first year. As you gain experience and continue developing your skills, it is possible to grow into positions earning between 60,000 and 100,000 dollars per year within as few as five years.

Whether you are just getting started or looking to advance your career, we give you a clear roadmap and help you move forward with confidence.
Training That Sets You Up for Success
Starting a new career can feel overwhelming, which is why we have built a strong foundation through hands-on training. Every new team member begins with a two-week apprenticeship training program at our dedicated training facility in Midlothian, VA. This is where you learn the fundamentals of our craft, our standards, and our approach to delivering high-quality work.
Training does not stop after those first two weeks. We pair you with experienced craftspeople through a year-long mentorship program. This allows you to continue learning on the job, ask questions, and refine your skills alongside professionals who care about your progress. We believe the best way to grow is by learning from people who have already mastered the craft.
Personalized Support Through Personality Insights
One of the ways we stand out is by taking the time to understand our team. We use personality testing as a tool to learn how you work best, how you communicate, and how we can support your development. This is not about putting people in boxes. It is about recognizing strengths, improving teamwork, and helping everyone thrive in their role.
When you feel understood and supported, your confidence grows. That confidence leads to better work, stronger relationships, and a more enjoyable experience every day.
Clear Goals and Ongoing Growth
Growth at 89-Paint is not left to chance. We hold quarterly goal-setting and review meetings to help you stay on track and keep moving forward. These meetings are designed to give you clarity, direction, and feedback that actually helps.
You will work with leadership to set realistic goals, measure your progress, and identify opportunities for improvement. Whether your focus is mastering technical skills, increasing your earning potential, or stepping into leadership, we are here to help you get there.
A Culture That Makes Work Enjoyable
We believe work should be productive, but it should also be enjoyable. That is why we have built a culture that values connection, positivity, and shared experiences. Our team is made up of fun, friendly, and unique individuals who bring energy and personality to the workplace.
One of our favorite traditions is quarterly mandatory fun. Yes, you read that right. We set aside time each quarter to step away from work, relax, and enjoy time together as a team. The best part is that you are paid to be there. It is our way of making sure everyone has the chance to recharge and build stronger relationships.
We also host a company holiday party each year, giving everyone a chance to celebrate the hard work and accomplishments of the team. These events are more than just gatherings. They are opportunities to connect, laugh, and create memories with people you work alongside every day.
A Team That Feels Like a Community
At 89-Paint, you are not just another employee. You are part of a community. We work hard to create an environment where people feel welcome, respected, and valued. From your first day, you will notice the difference in how we communicate, support one another, and approach challenges as a team.
