Chris LeBeau (left) and Una Manushka (right) have been exceeding client expectations together for combined 25 years of experience in paint, construction, and customer service. Chris and Una formed Hate to Paint? to better serve our existing customers and provide our new customers with a better way to work with a contractor.

Co-Owner Chris LeBeau grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and has loved calling Seattle home for more than 10 years. A tradition in the “U.P.” is that you never pass by someone who needs help, a value that Chris applies to all of his clients. After graduating from Northern Michigan University, Chris lived in Chicago and Kansas City, working in building supplies and flooring. In Seattle, Chris helped run a painting business on the city’s north side. In his spare time, Chris enjoys exercising, skiing, sports, concerts, traveling, and volunteering.
