Our people
Meet the team
Every painter who works on your home is background checked and vetted. Depending on the skill the job calls for, the timeline and the size of the project, your crew will be D'Franco staff, trusted partner crews we have worked with for years, or both.
Every person who works on your project, whether a full-time employee or a vetted subcontractor, has passed a background check, completed our training program, and been approved by our office staff before setting foot on a jobsite.
