Queer-owned painting company serving Oakland, Berkeley, and Richmond since 2017.

Meet Danielle (she/her)

Hi, I’m Danielle — founder of Top Choice Painting. I started the company in 2017 after years working as a residential painter and not seeing many queer people represented in the trades. I wanted to build a business where I could create a safe, respectful environment for myself, my crew, and the homeowners we work with. I take a lot of pride in thoughtful preparation, clean job sites, and finishes that are built to last. As a queer-owned business, I’m proud to serve the LGBTQ+ community and homeowners throughout the East Bay.

What Sets Us Apart

Top Choice Painting was founded in 2017 by Danielle Mustard after years of working in residential painting and noticing how few queer people were represented in the trades. The goal was simple: build a painting company where skilled craftsmanship and a respectful, welcoming environment go hand in hand. Today, Top Choice Painting focuses on thoughtful preparation, high-quality materials, and careful attention to every detail so homeowners can enjoy beautiful, long-lasting results. Danielle is proud to serve the LGBTQ+ community and homeowners throughout the East Bay.
