Mendez Painting LLC received its very first paint job in 2001. The humble beginnings of that first paint project marked the genesis of a company that is still going strong for 21 years. To understand the success of this company—and its road to exemplary work and service—we have to learn about the man behind the name. At the impressionable age of 16, Gabriel Mendez Sr. began honing his craft under his mentor Michael Meehan. Gabriel relocated to the Metro Atlanta area when he realized Georgia's climate was more conducive to the painting industry. During his first year in Atlanta, he joined a local painting enterprise and subsequently managed the entire company's labor force—increasing their productivity and profitability by 200%. Once he realized the potential of running his own company, he ventured into becoming an intrepid, self-made entrepreneur in the robust market of the Empire City of the South. From our first paint job, through two decades of the changing socio-economic landscape, until our current pandemic-driven climate today, Mendez Painting, LLC still maintains the outstanding quality Atlanta has learned to believe in and trust.

Ruth Mendez

Ruth, the first of Gabriel's children to join the family business, has a distinct fondness for her siblings and soccer. She dotes on them, taking them on adventures in the city, and loves attending her youngest brother's soccer games on the weekends. She even coaches a little girls’ soccer team. During the workweek, you can find Ruth either in the office running the shop, or traveling all over the city and its outskirts, giving free estimates to clients and potential customers. Filling the role of a project manager, Ruth visits job sites and checks on the crew, ensuring they uphold the top-notch standards of MPL. Whenever you stop by the office, Ruth's friendly disposition will always greet you. She will give you an answer to all your painting project questions. You'll enjoy talking with her, for sure! Besides, who can't like someone whose favorite book is Where The Red Ferns Grow?
