Coats of Honor: Serving Those Who Served Us

One Paint Job. One Hero. One Act of Community at a Time.

At American Standard Painting Co., we believe every home we paint should help build a stronger, more connected community. That’s why we launched Coats of Honor—a giveback initiative offering free, full-service paint projects to local heroes nominated by you.

Our first recipient was an 89-year-old retired Marine who still serves her neighbors today. Her story inspired us to keep going—and make gratitude part of every gallon we apply.

Know someone who deserves it? Let’s thank them in a way that lasts.

Coats of Honor

One Paint Job. One Hero. One Act of Community at a Time.

At American Standard Painting Co., a top-rated residential and commercial painting company in Orange County, we believe a paint job should do more than transform a space—it should uplift the people who hold our communities together.

That’s why we created Coats of Honor, a giveback initiative that allows our clients to nominate a local hero—a veteran, first responder, or selfless community member—for a free, full-service professional paint project.

Not charity. It's personal.

Why We Do It

We’ve always believed that when you show up for others, you discover the best parts of yourself. There’s something powerful that happens when you stop thinking about yourself—and start thinking about how you can serve.

That belief lives at the core of everything we do.

Coats of Honor was born out of a simple truth: some people spend their lives giving—serving their country, protecting their communities, or showing up for others without expecting anything in return.

We wanted to give back using the skills we’ve spent years perfecting: craftsmanship, care, and coats of paint.

That’s why we honor the everyday heroes among us—veterans who served, first responders who run toward danger, and community members who quietly make life better for others.

This program is how we say:

We see you. We appreciate you. And we’re here for you. One project at a time.

How It Works

Every time someone hires us for a painting project, a portion of that job goes toward funding our next Coats of Honor giveaway.

Once per quarter, we select one nominee from our community to receive a completely free, professional house painting project—no strings attached.

Clients can nominate someone they know who has made an impact:

  • A veteran
  • A first responder
  • A community member who gives without asking for recognition

The process is simple:

  1. Just send us their name and a short note about why they deserve to be honored.
  2. That’s it.

These giveaways are funded directly by our interior and exterior painting services throughout Orange County—including homes in Coto de Caza, Newport Beach, Mission Viejo, and surrounding communities.

What We Hope to Create

We want recipients to feel seen and celebrated.

We want nominators to feel proud to be part of something meaningful.

And we want Orange County to feel less like a collection of cities—and more like a community.

With permission, we’ll share these projects publicly—through photos, stories, and video—to help inspire more nominations and show what it looks like when neighbors take care of neighbors.
