Community
At James Brown Painting & Decorating, we believe a business should be part of the community it serves. That means showing up, lending a hand and supporting local groups that make life better for everyone. We are proud to be involved with local sports clubs across Laois and to pitch in with skills, time and materials when we can.
In 2026, we are delighted to sponsor the Dunamase College athletics team, helping them with the practical bits that keep young people active and connected. Whether it is donating time to a community project or offering financial support where possible, giving back is part of how we work and who we are.
