Our Story
Forty-five years. One standard.
Before GCIC was a company, it was an apprenticeship — a teenager learning the trade under a German master painter in 1965.
James Gregg learned to paint the old way. An apprenticeship under a German master painter in Dayton, Ohio in 1965. Journeyman years with Painters Union Local 713. A commercial art degree. Industrial finishing in a Seattle body shop. By the time he founded the company in 1981, painting wasn’t a business plan — it was a craft he’d spent sixteen years earning.
Four decades later, it’s still a family operation. The next generation of Greggs runs project management today, backed by a core team with more than 125 combined years in coatings. The company grew from custom painting into industrial and commercial work — abrasive blasting, tank linings, fireproofing — without ever letting go of the residential craft it started with.
Today the family serves Arizona under two names. GCIC — Gregg Commercial & Industrial Coatings — handles industrial, commercial, and community work. Personal Touch Painting Inc. carries the residential craft forward. Same family. Same standard. Quality craftsmanship, for those who care.
