Small Business | Great Attention to detail |

Hi, I’m Ashley Prior, owner and founder of Priority Painting Company. 

My passion is to make places feel beautiful and customers feel proud of their space.

For the last five years, I’ve helped transform rooms, homes, furniture, and businesses in the greater Traverse City area. 

But my excitement for painting started as a little girl when my parents empowered me to design and paint my bedroom. Soon enough, I was assisting with my father’s contracting business and noticed a consistent gap in the quality and craftsmanship of the finishing paint work. When the time came for me to branch out on my own, I sought to raise that standard and immersed myself in the painting and finishing trade. 

I absolutely love what I do, and I’m sure you will too!

Our core values

1. Deep Respect for the Client's Vision

We don’t just apply paint—we want to help people bring their spaces to life. There is an emotional connection, especially with homeowners, to show a level of care and intentionality that many painters overlook.

4. Humility + Growth Mindset

We are open about learning from tough jobs and turning challenges into success stories. That kind of self-awareness builds trust and shows clients we are always striving to improve.

From sharing meaningful stories to honoring how much homeowners invest in their space, we bring personality into the business in a way that makes clients feel genuinely cared for.

For example, a standard-sized bedroom (just walls) typically takes at least one full day to complete. A kitchen cabinet painting project often takes 5–7 working days due to the detailed prep and finishing process. A full main floor repaint, including walls and trim, may take 1–2 weeks. During your estimate, we’ll provide a clear timeline based on your specific space and needs.
