Jake Raber established roots in Gunnison after moving from Colorado Springs in 2016 to attend Western Colorado University, quickly building a reputation for quality work that led to the company's formation. His brother Max joined the venture after relocating from Bozeman, Montana, bringing his skilled craftsmanship and perfectionist approach to the team. Jack McConnell rounds out the ownership group with his diverse background from Montana State University and experience running his own painting operation in Colorado Springs. The company recently expanded into a new workshop facility at 600 S. 11th St., featuring a state-of-the-art negative airflow spray booth for cabinet finishing and equipment storage.
What sets Raber Painting apart is their comprehensive approach to both residential and commercial projects. As a member of the Gunnison Country Chamber of Commerce, they've established themselves as trusted partners for interior and exterior painting, new construction, and complex restoration projects. Their expertise extends from transforming smoke-damaged interiors to refreshing historic brick facades, with each project receiving the same level of precision and care.
