Who We Are

Mister Painter was founded in 2008 by Chad Young. While attending Indiana University, Chad spent his summers painting exterior homes in Carmel and the surrounding communities with his roommates. After college, he joined the Management Trainee Program at Enterprise Rent-A-Car in Phoenix, Arizona. It was a crash course in business, where he gained hands-on experience in a fast-paced environment.

Chad’s Indiana roots brought him back home in the mid-2000s. While exploring opportunities in real estate, he worked in the mortgage industry until the market crash in 2007. With a six-month-old baby at home and another on the way, Chad needed to pivot quickly. He had always enjoyed painting and saw an opportunity to turn that passion into a business. By combining his painting skills, management experience, and real estate connections, he launched Mister Painter.

After completing more than 3,000 projects, the company grew into Mister Painter Group (MPG), reflecting the strength and expansion of the team. Today, MPG offers much more than painting. Services include drywall repair and installation, basement and garage finishing, expert carpentry for wood rot and trim repair, and complete color and design solutions. MPG provides a one-call solution for your home renovation needs.

What sets MPG apart is a commitment to listening, attention to detail, and consistent follow-through. The core values of communication, customer service, and respect are the foundation of everything we do. Let us show you the difference.
