About Us

First-Generation Latina-Owned & Family-Operated

At DF Painting, we take immense pride in being a first-generation Latina-owned business. Founded on determination, family values, and a passion for excellence, our company is the result of hard work and the dream to create something meaningful for our future generations.

As a Latina business owner, I bring dedication, a unique eye to detail, and a personal touch to every project — supported by my incredible family crew, including my father, husband, and skilled painters. We combine our expertise with a commitment to respect, trust, and quality that goes beyond just painting walls.

Thank you for supporting a Latina-owned family business that’s not only transforming homes but also building a legacy.

Meet the President: Elena Flores-Castaneda

Owner • Lead Project Manager • Proud Woman in Trades

Hi, I’m Elena, the owner and heart behind DF Painting- a company built on quality work, honest values, and personal connection.

As a woman in the trades, I bring a unique perspective to the job — not just in color and design, but in how I run my business. I’m involved in every project from start to finish, making sure every detail is handled with care. My team includes trusted family members and professionals who share the same work ethic and respect for our clients. When you support us, you’re supporting local leadership, diversity in trades, and a business that truly cares.

Meet the Team

At DF Painting, we’re a tight-knit team made up of family and a few trusted pros who feel like family. We believe in doing the job right, treating our clients with respect, and taking pride in every brushstroke. Here’s who we are:

Elena – Owner & Project Manager

As a woman-owned and operated business, I lead every project with a hands-on approach and a commitment to quality, communication, and care. I work closely with each client to make sure every detail — from the first quote to the final walkthrough — exceeds expectations.
Fun fact: I’m the one picking up paint samples, answering your questions, and making sure the crew’s coffee is strong and ready by 8 a.m.d

Teresa (aka Mom/ Ma) - Founder/ CFO

Originating from Guadalajara, Mexico my amazing mom (who serves as the Chief Financial Officer) is behind the scenes, making sure our family painting business runs smoothly. She expertly manages finances and budgets to keep everything on track, so we can focus on delivering top-quality painting services to you.

Our Trusted Crew – Skilled Professionals, Family in Spirit

We work with a small group of experienced painters who share our values: show up on time, do the work right, and treat every home like it's their own. We don’t subcontract to strangers — we hire our own employees.

Insurance You Can Trust

Your peace of mind matters to us. Our family-owned painting business is fully covered with workers’ compensation insurance and liability insurance to protect both our team and your property throughout every project.
