About White Stone Painting
Valparaiso's Go To Painting Company
White Stone Painting is a residential and commercial painting company based in Valparaiso, Indiana. For more than a decade we have painted homes and businesses across Porter, Lake, and LaPorte Counties, from Valparaiso, Chesterton, and Portage to Crown Point, Merrillville, Michigan City, and La Porte.
We were founded for a simple reason. Homeowners and business owners deserve a painter who will take the time to do it right: careful prep, honest pricing, clear communication, and a crew that treats your property like their own. White Stone was built on faith to be that company, and that conviction still guides every job.
Our services include interior painting, exterior painting, residential painting, commercial painting, and deck painting and staining. Every project starts with a free written estimate, and our crew is on site until the last coat is done.

No pressure, no obligation. We respond personally, usually the same business day.
Meet the Owner
Josh Boss, Building a Legacy One Home at a Time
Before White Stone, Josh spent years in construction. He knew how homes come together, and he saw how often the final coat of paint was treated like an afterthought, rushed out the door on the last day. That never sat right with him. A home is not just a building. It is where kids grow up, where holidays happen, where the ordinary moments of life quietly add up to the ones that matter most.
Walking away from a secure job to start over with nothing but his skills and his faith was not the safe choice. There were no guarantees and no safety net. Josh took the leap anyway, trusting that if he did honest work, told people the truth, and treated every family like his own, God would take care of the rest.
That is exactly what happened. More than ten years later, Josh still gives every estimate himself, still works on site beside his crew, and still walks every finished job with the customer before anyone packs up. Every project carries a story: a nursery being readied for a new baby, a family home getting ready for its next chapter, a storefront someone poured their savings into. The moment Josh loves most has never changed. It is when a customer walks into the room and sees the picture they have carried in their head finally come to life.
A legacy worth leaving
For Josh, White Stone has never been only about paint. It is about the mark a person leaves behind. He wants to be remembered for showing up when he said he would, doing the work right when no one was checking, and leaving every home, every neighborhood, and every customer a little better than he found them. Each freshly painted house in Valparaiso and across Northwest Indiana is a small piece of that legacy.
This is not just a business to Josh. It is a calling, a way to serve his neighbors, honor God with his work, and build something that will stand long after the last coat dries. That is why so many customers call back for their next room, their next house, or their parents' house across town, and why so many new customers find White Stone through a friend who already trusts them.
The Meaning Behind the Name
Why We Are Called White Stone
"Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it."
Revelation 2:17
The name comes straight from Scripture. In the ancient world a white stone carried real meaning, and Bible scholars often point to three of them when they read this verse:
01
A Verdict of Innocence
In ancient courts, jurors cast a white stone to acquit and a black stone to condemn. A white stone meant you were declared not guilty and set free.
02
A Token of Welcome
White stones were given as tokens of friendship and admission, a personal invitation to a feast. Holding one meant you were known, trusted, and welcome.
03
A Reward for Overcoming
Victors were sometimes honored with a white stone. In Revelation it is promised to those who overcome, marked with a new name known only to the one who receives it.
For Josh, the name is personal. A white stone is a picture of grace: a verdict of not guilty that was never earned, a welcome that was freely given, and a new name for someone who held on through the hard seasons. It reminds him where this business came from, a leap he could not have made on his own strength. And it sets the standard for every job: to be people you are glad to welcome into your home, who tell the truth, show up when we say we will, and do the work right even when no one is watching.
White Stone is a Christian-led company. Every home we paint is a chance to pass a little of that grace along.

Our Standards
What We Hold Ourselves To on Every Job
Hiring a painter means trusting someone in your home or on your property. These are the standards we set when we started the company, and they have not changed.
Careful Preparation
Surfaces are cleaned, sanded, patched, and primed before any finish coat goes on. Prep is what makes paint last, and it is where we spend the most time.
Attention to Detail
Clean lines, even coverage, and no shortcuts on trim, corners, ceilings, or the spots most people never check.
Quality Workmanship
Professional-grade paints and stains matched to each surface, applied the way the manufacturer intended.
Protection of Your Property
Furniture, floors, fixtures, and landscaping stay covered for the full job, and we put everything back where we found it.
Clear Communication
You know the scope, the price, and the timeline before work begins, and you hear from us if anything changes.
Clean, Respectful Job Sites
We clean up every day, not just the last one, and leave your home or business tidy when the work is done.
Our Process
How We Work, From First Call to Final Walkthrough
1. Consultation & Estimate
We walk the property with you, talk through the scope, colors, and finishes, and give you a clear written estimate.
2. Preparation
Surfaces are cleaned, repaired, sanded, and primed, and everything around them is covered and protected.
3. Painting
The crew applies premium coatings with close attention to lines, coverage, and finish, with daily cleanup along the way.
4. Final Walkthrough
We review every surface together and handle any touch-ups before we call the job done. You sign off, not us.
