When a Fairlawn salon owner needed her business and personal residence painted over a decade of projects, she kept returning to the same team. "I continue to use them. It's always a job well done. One less thing in my life to worry about." This pattern of repeat customers defines how Nicholas and Nycole Kane have built their painting business since founding it in 2012.
Kane Painting LLC operates as a certified woman-owned small business based in Fairlawn, Ohio. The company specializes in residential and commercial painting, cabinet refinishing, deck staining, wallpaper removal, and lead paint abatement. Nick handles estimates and on-site project management while Nycole manages operations and client communication. The fully insured team carries liability, auto, and workers' compensation coverage, with all employees background-checked through their vetting process.
The company serves Akron, Hudson, Medina, Cuyahoga Falls, Stow, and surrounding communities across Summit, Stark, Cuyahoga, Medina, Portage, and Wayne counties. Kane Painting is BBB Accredited and EPA lead-safe certified for work on pre-1978 homes.
