Why Customers Choose Trucoat Painting Plus

Three Generations of Painters, One Phone Number

"Trucoat Painting did an outstanding job on my 180 year old farmhouse project in Olmsted Falls. They were trustworthy, focused, and professional throughout the entire process. It wasn't an easy project, which included the kitchen, dining room, bathroom, hallway, and several closets floor to ceiling." - J B., Google Review

Lifetime Cabinet Touch-Up Warranty

Most painters won't quote cabinet refinishing because it's the hardest finish work in the trade. Trucoat does, and they back every cabinet project with a lifetime touch-up warranty, plus a two-year craftsmanship warranty on all work and a five-year exterior warranty. The Chooz Score's review complexity indicators are at full marks because customers describe specific cabinet projects, specific finishes, and specific outcomes. The team works without requiring a deposit, and crews handle interior, exterior, deck staining, wallpaper removal, and power washing across Avon Lake, Westlake, Rocky River, Bay Village, and Strongsville. "Ricky was amazing, finished off my cabinets and repainted the interior of my kitchen! It looks great and would recommend!" - Emily C., Facebook Review
