About Us

Perry Laycock

(Owner)

I founded Tradesman Painting & Drywall in 1998. I was born in San Francisco, a 3rd generation Californian, and raised in Marin County.

My career in the painting industry started when I was 19 years old. I worked for the Point Reyes National Seashore park services by painting historical landmarks such as the “old red barn” which survived the great Quake of 1906 and the “lighthouse”, built in 1870, located on the Point Reyes coastline.

My painting career transitioned into High-rise painting in downtown San Francisco for Alpha Painting and Waterproofing and Rainbow Painting & Decorating at which time I joined the Painters and Tapers Union.

After several years of High-rise work, I was blessed to be offered employment with “Bob Kunst Painting, Inc.” in San Rafael, California. I was a job foreman for 10.5 years. While working for Bob I graduated from the Painting, Decorating, and Contractors’ of America Apprenticeship School. While attending the program I was privileged to be a student of the gifted Wolfgang Heinritz the 3rd, who was a master painter of faux marble and various decorative finishes.

It is the combination of my experiences and training’s over 34 years that allows me to bring to my clients the necessary skills it takes to be the best in my field.
