When you hire a painter, you’re not just asking someone to slap color on your walls and be on their way. You're trusting a team to craft a beautiful result—and to create a memorable experience.
That’s the aim of That1Painter. Led locally by owner Ade Adeyemo and operations expert Amber Stanon, this franchise is changing how people see painters, one brushstroke at a time.
Ade, a surgeon with a passion for giving back, saw an opportunity to bring something new to the local painting scene during the COVID-19 pandemic. He quickly added Amber, a sharp and compassionate leader, and together, they’re driving the business based on three key pillars: humility, community and integrity.
Not what you typically hear from a team of painters.
“For us, it’s about more than paint,” Ade shares. “It’s about treating every client like family. There are people behind our projects.”
This approach is rooted in personal values. Both Ade and Amber have had their share of unfortunate experiences with contractors who didn’t care. From broken promises to being ghosted after payment, they’ve seen how not to do business.
“We’re different,” Amber says. “We go into every job with grace, love and compassion. It’s important to us that our clients feel valued and heard.”
At That1Painter, it’s not about being the cheapest or most expensive—it’s about being the best. They specialize in high-quality work like cabinet painting, which they execute with precision and care to ensure a long-lasting finish.
They also handle brick and exterior painting, deck and fence staining, caulking, stucco repair and more for both residential and commercial clients.
But what really sets them apart is how they put people over paint. They listen to the needs and expectations of customers, knowing they may need to work around family heirlooms or adjust schedules to make things easier.
She tells of Dora, a widowed teacher with limited resources. “We painted her entire home—walls, ceilings, trim and cabinets. She loved having us there. She even threw a party with her friends afterward to show off our work.”
That personal connection is what sets them apart. “We want to leave every client happy,” Ade says. “There’s no better feeling.”
The team vets their painters meticulously, ensuring they have both the skills and the attitude to match the company’s values. “Our painters are incredible. Like Jason and Josh, for example. They go the extra mile for our clients and for the team,” Amber adds.
That1Painter is an experience. From the moment a client calls, they’re guided through the process with transparency and care. Whether it’s accommodating a tricky schedule or sanding down a sticking door at no extra charge, the team goes above and beyond to ensure satisfaction.
“We have a dedicated project manager who keeps you updated every step of the way,” Amber says. “When you hire us, you’re not left wondering what’s going on.”
Take Ron, a meticulous client who hired them to stain his deck. The first attempt didn’t go as planned. Instead of making excuses, Amber and the team resanded the entire deck and turned it into a masterpiece. Ron was so thrilled, he made and posted a video singing their praises.
“He joked about moving his furniture out there and sleeping on the deck because it looked so good,” Amber laughs. “Then he brought us back to paint the inside of his house.”
A three-year warranty backs That1Painter’s confidence in their craft—something virtually unheard of in the painting industry. “We stand by our work because we do it right the first time,” Ade says.
The company also offers flexible financing options, making their services accessible to everyone. This has proven especially popular with real estate agents and homeowners looking to spruce up their properties before selling.
In painting, there’s color, craftsmanship and creativity. Ade and Amber add culture to that mix, emphasizing kindness, humility and putting the client first. “If your grandma’s 1902 armoire is the most important thing in the room, we’ll treat it like a treasure,” Amber says.
With a mix of humor, heart and hard work, That1Painter is proving that painting is an opportunity to make a difference. “Nothing in life is better than knowing you made someone else happy,” Ade says.
Amber agrees, adding, “That’s the kind of rich I want to be.”
