When it comes to high-end residential painting, precision isn’t optional—it’s expected. That’s why Jon Bateman, owner of JMB Painting Co. in southern New Hampshire, leads his crew with the same mindset we build into every stitch of 1620 Workwear: take pride in your craft, look sharp, and outperform the rest.
For Jon Bateman and JMB Painting, good enough doesn’t cut it. Whether it’s flawless cabinet finishes or showing up to the jobsite looking squared away, they bring pride and precision to every detail. That’s why they wear 1620 Workwear—because American-made durability, comfort, and performance help them do what they do best: deliver elite-level work.
“My name is Jon Bateman. I own JMB Painting Co. Started it in 2020.”
Bateman didn’t plan on becoming a business owner. But when opportunity called—inside a sauna of all places—he answered.
“I met this guy in a sauna... I was like, oh, I'm a painter, you know, I can help you out... I gave him a price and he was just like, "you start tomorrow."”
He registered JMB Painting that night. Since then, he's been delivering elite residential painting services to discerning homeowners and contractors throughout New Hampshire and the North Shore of Massachusetts.
“We do high-end residential painting, specific to fine finishes and really discerning customers.”
At JMB, attention to detail is everything. Whether spraying oil-based finishes, installing custom wallpaper, or refinishing cabinets, Bateman’s team is known for site protection, precision, and spotless execution.
“We offer extensive site protection, high-end spraying with oil-based finishes, and really nice interior painting of ceilings and walls.”
Their method is disciplined: prep on site, detail work in the shop, and installation that hits exacting standards. It's not just painting—it's premium finishing for premium homes.
JMB Painting isn't just a jobsite crew—they run a full-service refinishing shop where finish quality is the priority.
“We'll take doors and drawers and other slab panels back to the shop... prep and spray them here and then we'll bring them back on site and install them.”
This two-part process delivers showroom-level results and makes JMB a go-to for contractors and designers who need consistency—and a partner who gets it done.
“We have four guys right now, including myself... all good friends of mine that work with me who've really bought into taking pride in what we do."
Pride and precision has helped JMB build a reputation that keeps contractors and designers coming back.
“Once we work with a contractor, we typically work with them exclusively... we always strive to meet their higher standards.”
For Bateman, appearance is part of the job—and 1620 Workwear checks every box.
“To show up in a clean van and clean clothes - to look professional. That's the main thing. We're not going to use them as a rag... We want to stay clean.”
Why? Because when you're stepping into homes worth millions, you need workwear that matches the stakes.
“We're working in higher end residential homes, so having a specific uniform and a clean look is kind of a part of our ethos."
“That's kind of why I got into 1620... I saw that it was American made.”
Based in Southern New Hampshire, Bateman drives past the 1620 Workwear headquarters every day.
“We drive up 495, you can see the 1620 shop right off the highway. It's a local business, and we're a local business, supporting other local businesses.”
That connection matters. And in the trades, what you wear sends a message.
“Buying into the idea of the craftsmanship of the trade and like presenting yourself as like a professional and like wearing like professional clothing and keeping itself clean is just like the way to be.”
