Our Story

2016: The Beginning

DuraPro Painting was founded in 2016 by Randy Smith during his freshman year at Michigan State University. What began as a way to help cover tuition quickly evolved into a growing business.

Randy had painting experience from high school summers and spent weekends driving home to knock on doors, place lawn signs, and pass out flyers, booking jobs for a crew of high school friends each summer break.

2016–2020: Building Experience

While earning his degree in Supply Chain Management, Randy also interned in the corporate world. Those experiences made one thing clear, his future wasn’t in a cubicle.

Instead, he focused on building a business that could deliver top-quality service and create lasting jobs in the local community. Each summer, DuraPro grew stronger.

2020: Going All In

After graduating from MSU, Randy relaunched DuraPro Painting full-time with a clear mission:

To raise the standard of professionalism in the painting industry—while helping homeowners and business owners protect their most valuable investment.

2020–Today: Growing with Purpose

Since relaunching, DuraPro has grown 80–110% year over year and earned 250+ five-star reviews from satisfied customers across West Michigan. Today, we’re proud to be known for:
• Dependable, professional crews
• Honest, responsive communication
• High-quality results that speak for themselves
We’re more than just painters, we’re a team committed to doing right by every customer, every time.
