Licensed & Fully Insured
Ohio general contractor license. BBB A+ rated since 2016. General liability and workers comp on every project. Permits and inspections handled when the scope requires it.
One Contractor, Every Trade
Most remodels fail in the handoffs. Demo to framing, framing to drywall, drywall to finishes. We keep the job under one roof so sequencing stays tight: framing, drywall, tile, flooring, trim, and paint are coordinated as one build, not a chain of subcontractor delays. When licensed specialty trades are needed (electrical/plumbing), we coordinate scheduling so they show up at the right phase.

Questions About Our Service Areas
Do I need a licensed general contractor for my remodel in Ohio?
Ohio doesn't require a state-level general contractor license for residential work, which means anyone can call themselves a contractor. That's exactly why hiring a licensed, insured contractor matters. A licensed GC carries general liability and workers comp, pulls permits, schedules inspections, and takes responsibility for the entire build. Without that, you're personally liable if something goes wrong. PaintWerks is a licensed Ohio general contractor — fully insured with a 2-year workmanship warranty on every project.
How much does a home remodel cost in Columbus, Ohio?
It depends on the scope. A bathroom remodel in Columbus typically runs $8,000–$25,000 depending on layout changes, tile, and fixtures. A kitchen remodel ranges from $15,000–$50,000+ for a full gut renovation with cabinets, countertops, and flooring. We provide a detailed written estimate after walking the space — no hidden fees, no surprise charges at the end.
What's the difference between a general contractor and a handyman?
A handyman handles small repairs — patching a hole, swapping a faucet, hanging shelves. A general contractor manages full-scope projects that involve multiple trades, permits, and inspections. If your project requires drywall, framing, tile, flooring, and paint happening in sequence, you need a GC — not a handyman. The difference is licensing, insurance, coordination, and accountability for the finished product.
How long does a kitchen or bathroom remodel take?
A standard bathroom remodel runs 2–4 weeks depending on scope — longer if walls move or plumbing gets relocated. A full kitchen gut renovation typically takes 4–8 weeks including demo, framing, drywall, tile, flooring, cabinets, countertops, and paint. Older Central Ohio homes sometimes take longer when we uncover plaster, outdated wiring, or water damage behind the walls.
How often should I repaint the interior or exterior of my house?
Interior paint typically lasts 5–7 years in high-traffic areas and up to 10 years in bedrooms and low-use rooms. Exterior paint in Central Ohio lasts 5–8 years depending on sun exposure, siding material, and how well the previous job was prepped. We use premium Sherwin-Williams products and proper surface prep on every project so the finish holds up. See our interior and exterior painting pages for details.
What type of flooring is best for kitchens and bathrooms?
For kitchens and bathrooms, waterproof luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and porcelain tile are the two best options. LVP is durable, waterproof, and installs fast — great for full-floor coverage. Porcelain tile is the gold standard for showers, wet areas, and high-end kitchens. We install both and can walk you through which makes sense for your space, budget, and lifestyle. See our flooring services for more.
What if we want to add work once the project starts?
It happens all the time. Half our bathroom remodels turn into "while you're here" projects. Add the flooring, extend the drywall, repaint the bedroom. We adjust the scope, update the price, and keep moving — no drama, no delays. That's the advantage of working with a general contractor who handles multiple trades under one roof.
