Showing Up for Efland

At Gonzalez Painters & Contractors, being part of the community means more than offering high-quality painting, roofing, and gutter services—it means showing up, supporting local, and investing in the people and places we care about. This spring, we were proud to attend and sponsor the 2025 Seafood Festival in Efland, NC, a beloved event that brought residents together for two days of fun, flavor, and connection.

The festival was packed with excitement: live music from local bands, games for all ages, refreshing drinks, and, of course, some of the best seafood North Carolina has to offer. From shrimp and oysters to pulled pork and classic festival fare, there was something for everyone. But what made this event truly special was the sense of community that could be felt in every corner of the festival grounds.

More Than Just a Sponsor

As a household name in the Triangle area, we’re not just here to work—we’re here to support. Our sponsorship at the Seafood Festival helped make the event more accessible and inclusive, especially for families. We also took pride in highlighting two local student-athletes who were recognized during the event for exemplifying leadership, dedication, and core values we believe in. Supporting young people who inspire others is just one of the ways we give back.

We also had the opportunity to showcase how Gonzalez is more than a service provider. Our team connected with festival-goers at our booth, answering questions, giving away swag, and simply enjoying conversations with homeowners and neighbors. It was a chance to share who we are, what we do, and why community involvement is central to our mission.

Community First, Always

Events like the Efland Seafood Festival remind us why we do what we do. Whether we’re painting a single home or partnering with local schools and organizations, our goal is always the same: to be a trusted, engaged, and positive presence in the community.

We left the festival with full hearts, new friends, and even more motivation to keep making an impact. From all of us at Gonzalez Painters & Contractors—thank you, Efland, for another unforgettable event. We’ll see you again soon!
