Pete Salonius

I’ve been in the painting industry since 2001, when I first received an offer to start painting professionally. I’ve been hooked ever since. What I love most about being a contractor is the opportunity to meet new clients and be part of something bigger than myself. Each project brings a sense of fulfillment and allows me to contribute to the vision of others.

Before starting my own business, I worked and gained experience with another contractor. This experience included problem solving, organization and quality assurance. The experience furthered my growth and landed me into a lead position. 

In 2020, I took the leap and founded Pete’s Painting and Remodeling. Just three months in, I hired my first employee, and from there, things started to take off. Looking back at those humble beginnings, I’m proud to see how far we’ve come. As our business continues to grow, our team has expanded to as many as seven employees, allowing us to serve clients across the state of Oregon.

When I’m not working, I love spending time with my wife, Lori. We enjoy fishing along the coast, relishing the fresh air and the peacefulness of the outdoors. It’s the perfect way to unwind and do what I love—catching fish!
