When it comes to choosing a commercial painting company, what are the things that matter most?

Why is it important that we’ve been in business for over 50 years?

Reaching the 50-year milestone is no small achievement. For us, it’s a testament to quality, honesty, resilience, and transparency. Over the decades, we’ve refined our processes, expanded our expertise, and gained insights that less experienced competitors simply don’t have.

Ghaster has worked long and hard to earn the trust of clients, employees, the painting industry, and the business community at large. Longevity isn’t just about years, it’s about credibility. And for us, it’s also about staying true to our foundation: we are a faith-based organization whose Christian values of integrity, respect, and service guide everything we do.

Longevity isn't just about years, it's about credibility.

Why does it matter that we have one of the largest teams of professional painters and the largest fleet of trucks in Arizona?

It matters because you don’t become one of the biggest if you’re not good at what you do. You don’t grow to this scale without delivering excellent work, being honest and transparent, and building strong systems that work time and again.

Our team of seasoned, professional painters is all experts at their craft, background-checked, and OSHA safety-trained. Ghaster’s commitment to safety and quality is second to none.

And behind our growth is something greater:
a commitment to doing things the right way, the first time, with diligence and faith guiding our mission of superior customer service.
