About our community
Progressive Painting was founded in 1996 by Gary Howe, with the support of his wife Kathleen. What began as a small family business with just a few employees has grown into a trusted company that now employs a dedicated team of skilled painting professionals. With the help of Gary’s son, Mason, Progressive has taken on some of the largest painting projects in New Hampshire.
From day one, our mission has been clear: deliver exceptional workmanship, on time and with integrity. We are proud to partner with reputable contractors, institutions, and private clients to bring their visions to life.

Gary, with more than 26 years of industry knowledge, leads as both owner and estimator. He ensures that every project is planned with precision and fairness—making room for strong employee benefits, safety training, and travel support. We believe that by taking care of our team, we create a workforce that is motivated, professional, and ready to exceed expectations.
