Interview with Chris Wright
Now that the Paint Right Painting LLC website is up and running, we would like you to get to know Chris Wright, the owner and the son of IL President John Wright and VP-Sales and Marketing Kathy Wright. Chris was with the IL company location for 11 years before relocating to Tacoma to build out a presence in WA 2016.
1) What inspired you to go to WA and start the new Paint-Right Painting location?
“More work opportunity out here.”
2) How, for painting, is WA different than IL?
“For exterior painting, no one brushes and rolls – everyone sprays. With our method of brush/roll, you have more control and apply more paint. You are not wasting materials by spraying it into the air. You need to back roll over the wood by pushing the paint into the wood, or it can lead to failing.”
3) What is the most important thing to communicate to homeowners about painting their home?
“Use professionals.”
4) What do you think separates you from the rest of the painting companies in WA?
“The painting methods used back in IL (at home) have been proven to work. We have the ability to brush and roll the house exterior in almost the same amount of time it takes to spray a house.”
5)On a personal note, what do you enjoy most about living in the WA area now?
“The ability to drive about an hour and be in the middle of the mountains and the lakes.”

By late April and early May, Western Washington begins to see a shift in the weather. The heavier winter rains have eased up, temperatures are getting warmer and more consistent, and everything outside is beginning to grow again. At the same time, it’s common to look around the yard and feel like things didn’t quite get the attention they needed earlier in the season. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many homeowners find themselves only partway through their spring yard cleanup or still waiting for the right time to get started. Between wet conditions, busy schedules, and the sheer amount of debris that builds up over the winter, it’s easy for cleanup to get delayed. The good news is that you haven’t missed your window. Whether you’re starting fresh or picking up where you left off, this point in the season is a practical time to get everything into shape before late spring growth really takes off. A focused spring yard cleanup now can go a long way toward improving how your yard looks, drains, and grows over the next few months. Whether you’re catching up on what winter left behind or finishing the last few steps of your spring yard cleanup checklist, this is a practical time to reset your outdoor space and set yourself up for a smoother, more manageable season ahead.
