With a keen interest in painting and a shared passion for excellence, Jill French and Alison Heather have been working together since 1992. In 2000 Heather & French was formed and our company has enjoyed steady growth which we attribute to our commitment to quality, attention to detail and dedication to our employees and customers.

This approach has attracted residential and commercial clients throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as experienced and reliable employees who work efficiently as a team.

Alison Heather 
Owner, Estimator

Born in Dublin, Ireland, Alison Heather arrived in New York in 1984 with a strong desire to get to work. Before long, Alison had found her way out to the West Coast and onto a painting crew.

"That crew is where I learned I had the foundation of the craft. How to run a job. The importance of paying attention to the details and the big picture at the same time. And most importantly, how to establish and maintain client relationships."

It was on that same crew that Alison first met Jill French. The two bonded through their work ethic and love of the trade. "We were (and still are) very different people, but we find common ground in our core values: respect, responsibility and communication. Today, those values are the cornerstones of our business,” says Alison.

Dedicated to providing clients outstanding customer service while delivering exceptional results, Alison is known for her calm demeanor and ability to keep things running smoothly even while resolving problems.

Outside of work she is passionate about meditating, Ocean Beach and local art and design.

High-energy, high standards and the ability to motivate others are what make Jill such a talented production manager. With 30 years in the trade, she is strategic and efficient and has an amazing capacity with details. She is always interested in new products and application techniques. Since the industry is constantly changing, Jill's ability to keep current with technical information is invaluable to Heather & French. 

"I love the opportunity of dealing with all the different people and components that go into making a project successful."
