What Burns & Parks Painting does

Burns & Parks Painting is a family-owned commercial and industrial painting contractor headquartered in Plano, Texas, founded in 1979 by the Burns and Parks families and wholly owned by the Parks family since co-founder Jerry Burns's retirement in 2010. The company delivers full-service painting for offices, buildings, healthcare facilities, manufacturing plants, sports and entertainment venues, educational institutions, government and municipal properties, corporate headquarters, hospitality projects, and high-tech facilities across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Texas, and surrounding states. Core service lines include commercial painting, wallcoverings, tape-and-bed drywall finishing, exterior textures, high-performance industrial coatings, and specialty finishes, executed by a workforce of 125+ employees (including 7 project managers and estimators, 14 field foremen, 20 lead men, and 80+ field personnel) under a full-time safety director and OSHA-certified foremen.

The company's core technology consists of standard painting and finishing techniques augmented by LEED-certified specialists trained in green building practices and a documented safety program evidenced by an Experience Modification Rate of .67. The firm has completed more than 4,000 commercial and industrial painting projects, including individual projects valued above $5M, and serves marquee Texas enterprises such as AT&T, Exxon Mobil, Fujitsu, Whole Foods, Best Buy, BlueCross BlueShield, and Texas Christian University. Operations are supported by a relationship with a AAA-rated bonding company enabling bonding of multi-million dollar contracts.

Burns & Parks generates revenue on a project-based, quote-driven model via direct enterprise field sales led by President Chris Parks, with free estimates offered for all commercial projects. Annual revenue is reported in the $10-$12M range. The company is privately held, debt-free, and bootstrapped, with no external funding, parent company, or institutional investors. Marketing is primarily driven through the company website and direct sales relationships, with operational focus on cost-efficient planning, timely execution, and guaranteed workmanship rather than technology-led differentiation.

Same project-based delivery, similar bonding/safety-driven positioning, but operates in a different geography.

• TMI Coatings: Specialty industrial and commercial coatings contractor serving manufacturing, energy, and infrastructure clients nationwide. Comparable on the industrial coatings/high-performance coatings side of Burns & Parks' service mix and competes for similar large industrial bids.

Direct regional competitor to Burns & Parks Painting.

Broad incumbents

Operates as a broad facility-services incumbent competing for institutional and industrial maintenance contracts that overlap with Burns & Parks' repaint and high-performance coatings work.

Others

• PPG Industries: Global paints and coatings manufacturer that supplies commercial contractors including regional painters like Burns & Parks. Not a direct services competitor, but a key industry adjacency that influences product availability, coating technology, and specification trends.
