About the owner
Meet Bruce Mahnken, owner and painter
Mahnken Painting & More is a one-person painting company based in Rowlett, Texas. I’ve been painting for more than 20 years, and I’m the one who gives your estimate, preps the job, paints it and cleans up after.

One painter, start to finish
When you hire a big crew, the person who quotes your job is rarely the person holding the brush. Here, it’s the same person. I’m personally involved in every part of your project — from the first walk-through and estimate to the final coat and cleanup.
That hands-on approach is the whole point. I see every wall before it’s painted and after it’s done, so the prep gets done right, the lines stay straight and nothing gets skipped.
I paint homes and businesses across Rowlett, Rockwall, Garland, Sachse, Wylie and the rest of the Dallas–Rockwall area: interiors, exteriors, cabinets, drywall repair, decks, fences and more — hence the “& More.”
How I work
What you can count on
Rowlett Area Chamber member
Mahnken Painting & More is a member of the Rowlett Area Chamber, which held a ribbon cutting for the business in May 2026. View the member profile.
EPA lead-safe certified
Homes built before 1978 can have lead-based paint under the newer coats. I’m EPA lead-safe (RRP) certified and follow lead-safe work practices whenever old paint gets disturbed.
Off the clock
You might know me as Captain Isosceles
When I’m not painting, I post fishing trips, dog adventures and comedy videos — to about 449K followers on TikTok and 59K on Instagram. Fair warning: the humor is for grown-ups. For painting updates and project photos, follow the business on Facebook.
