We understand that some people may be hesitant when hiring a painting company for their home. At Yellow Rose Painting, we pride ourselves on unmatched customer service, obsess over ensuring our customers are happy and every little aspect is done right.
From the beginning, Yellow Rose Painting has been about relationships. It started in early 2021 with a blossoming friendship between our owners, Jason and Mason. Shortly after meeting each other, the two felt called to create something special together.
Mason had previously founded our DFW-based sister company, Spray Tex Painting at a young age, and built it into one of the most successful painting companies in the metroplex. Jason, who had lived in Waco his entire life, felt that what STP was offering was much needed in the Central Texas market.
And so, Yellow Rose Painting was born.

Co-Founder & President
Born and raised in Waco, Texas, Jason Conners is a local through and through. A proud product of Reicher Catholic High School, Jason's adventurous spirit led him to the University of Arkansas, where he secured an undergraduate degree in Accounting & Finance, further honing his business acumen with an MBA.
Growing up, Jason witnessed first-hand the good, the bad, and the ugly of entrepreneurship. His father, the owner of a family mining company in Central Texas, served as an example of hard work, perserverence, and how to take pride in work done right.
However, Jason's professional journey wasn't a linear path. He ventured into the world of Fortune 500 giants, including household names like Deloitte, Colgate, and Reckitt Benckiser. But amidst the high-rises and the fast-paced corporate world, Jason soon realized that being a small cog in a vast machine wasn't his calling.
In 2021, heeding the entrepreneurial spirit inherited from his father and fueled by his own experiences, Jason returned to his roots in Waco and co-founded Yellow Rose Painting. His endeavor was more than just a business; it was a passion project aimed at breathing life into homes and spaces.
Away from the spreadsheets and paint palettes, Jason is an adventurer and poet at heart. Whether writing poetry, mountain biking on rugged trails, skiing down snowy slopes, or enjoying a friendly game of pickleball, his zest for life is evident.
However, ask Jason what he treasures most about Yellow Rose Painting, and he'd point towards two things: the deep-rooted relationships he fosters with clients and the phenomenal team he's proud to work alongside. For him, it's more than just painting walls; it's about creating memories, building community, and leaving a lasting impression.
