The Travis family has been providing painting services to Central and South Texas since 1886. John Edward Travis, a 5th generation business owner, started J.E. Travis Painting, Inc., working out of a horse stall in a barn in Bracken, Texas. Over time the firm grew and moved to San Antonio. In 2002 John started a sister firm, Travis Millwork, Inc., specializing in commercial casework and millwork. All divisions now operate out of a 67,000 square foot complex of buildings in an industrial park off Turbo Drive. This facility includes manufacturing space and equipment for solid wood and engineered products, metal fabrication, stone counter-tops and a finishing shop, as well as shipping and receiving, training centers, and engineering spaces. In 2019, Travis Millwork, Inc., opened a 20,000 square foot regional production facility in Manor, Texas, to better serve customers in the Austin area.
