Kitchen, Bath & Basement Remodeling
We paint home exteriors across Columbus and Central Ohio. Siding, trim, fascia, soffits, doors, decks, fences, and everything weather touches. Proper prep is the difference between paint that peels in two years and paint that lasts a decade. We scrape, sand, caulk, prime, and repair before any finish coat goes on. As a licensed general contractor, we handle rot repair, wood replacement, and siding fixes in-house. If we find damage during prep, we fix it — no calling another contractor, no delays, no finger-pointing. One crew from pressure washing through final coat.

Prep Work That Actually Lasts
Exterior paint fails because of shortcuts, not bad paint. We pressure wash, scrape, sand, caulk, and prime before any finish coat. It takes longer, but it's why our exteriors still look good five years later.

Ladders, scaffolding, and two-story work come with risk. We carry full general liability and workers comp on every project. Your home and our crew are protected.
2-Year Workmanship Warranty
Painting, drywall, framing, tile, flooring. If it fails because of our work, we come back and fix it. Period. No runaround, no finger-pointing, we've got your back. 2 years from completion.
No Deposits to get started
We don't ask for large deposits or money upfront because we believe trust is earned. Labor is never paid before the work is complete, and final payment is only requested after walkthrough and signoff.

Our Exterior Painting Process
Every exterior project follows the same proven workflow. Clear communication, thorough prep, professional application, and a final walkthrough before we leave. No surprises, no callbacks, no peeling paint six months later.
Inspection & Estimate
We walk your home's exterior and note every surface that needs attention — siding condition, trim damage, caulk failures, peeling paint, and rot. You get a detailed written estimate within 48 hours that breaks down prep work, repairs, and paint. No hidden fees, no deposit required.
Prep Work
Good prep means good results. We pressure wash, scrape loose paint, sand rough spots, caulk gaps around windows and trim, and prime bare wood. If there's rot or damage, we find it and replace it. No calling another company because we can fix all common exterior building products. It's the work you don't see that makes the finished product last.
Paint Application
We brush, roll, and spray depending on the surface. Back-brushing for proper adhesion on wood siding. Multiple coats on bare wood, trim, and high-wear areas. We use Sherwin-Williams exterior products — Duration, Emerald, and SuperPaint — rated for Ohio's freeze-thaw cycles and UV exposure.
Final Walkthrough
We walk the completed project with you before cleanup. Touch-ups handled on the spot. Masking removed, landscaping uncovered, and your home ready to show off. You don't pay until you're satisfied.

Exterior Painting Questions
How long does exterior paint last in Ohio?
With proper prep and quality products, exterior paint on wood siding and trim typically lasts 7-10 years. Fiber cement and LP SmartSide can go longer. The biggest factor is how well the surface was prepped — that's why we spend more time on prep than most contractors.
What time of year is best for exterior painting?
Late spring through early fall works best in Central Ohio. We need temperatures above 50°F and dry conditions for paint to cure properly. We watch the forecast and won't apply finish coats if rain is coming within 24 hours. Check our service areas to see if we cover your neighborhood.
Do you fix rotted wood before painting?
Yes. As a licensed general contractor, we handle rot repair, board replacement, and carpentry in-house. If we find damage during prep, we fix it before any paint goes on. No calling another contractor, no delays.
How long does an exterior painting project take?
Most single-story homes take 3-5 days. Two-story homes typically run 5-8 days. Larger homes with extensive repairs can take 8-12 days. Weather delays can extend timelines, but we work efficiently during good conditions. See our project timeline FAQ for more details.
What's included in prep work?
Pressure washing, scraping loose paint, sanding rough edges, caulking gaps and cracks, priming bare wood, and minor repairs. We mask windows, protect landscaping, and cover surfaces that aren't being painted.
Do you paint vinyl siding?
Yes. Vinyl can be painted if it's in good condition. We use paints formulated to flex with temperature changes so the finish won't crack or cause warping. It's a cost-effective way to change your home's color without replacing siding. Need new siding instead? Check out our vinyl siding installation and repair services.
What paint brands do you use?
Sherwin-Williams exterior products — Duration, Emerald, and SuperPaint depending on the surface and exposure. Commercial-grade coatings that hold up to Ohio's freeze-thaw cycles, UV, and humidity. We use the same products on our commercial exterior projects.
