Fritts Painting has served Greater Cincinnati homeowners since the company's founding in 1986, building a reputation through four decades of hands-on residential painting led by owner Brian Fritts. The crew handles both exterior and interior projects with a focus on older and historic properties, including Victorian-era wood siding homes, century-old brick residences, and mid-century bungalows throughout neighborhoods like Hyde Park and Norwood.
Every job is completed by Fritts Painting's own employees. The company does not subcontract to outside crews, a practice that customers frequently highlight as a reason they return for additional projects. Surface preparation, window glazing, trim restoration, and light carpentry are handled in-house alongside standard priming and finish work.
Fritts Painting & Carpentry, Inc. holds BBB A+ accreditation (since 2010) and maintains full insurance coverage. The team operates from 4114 Montgomery Rd Suite B in Cincinnati and can be reached at (513) 631-0341 for free estimates across the Greater Cincinnati metro area.

Brian routinely visits active jobsites and frequently picks up a brush himself. Missy Collins noted that the owner showed up daily to paint and check on the project, and Ryan Luggen appreciated being able to reach the owner of the company directly. This hands-on presence means homeowners communicate with the decision-maker, not a middleman, throughout scheduling, prep, and final walkthrough stages.

The crew regularly handles homes built in the early 1900s, where surfaces demand extra care. Nick Trivett described how the team managed wood siding, trim, metal roofs, window sashes, and even glazing on a 100-plus-year-old property. Matthew Allemang hired Fritts for a multi-colored, 3 story, wood clad Victorian and praised the team's willingness to take on a challenging project that other companies might avoid.

Window restoration is a recurring service on older-home projects. Ann Gerwin noted the crew handled removing and reinstalling three stories of storm windows to paint the sills and sashes and reglaze all the windows. Brian Mitchell described an excellent job prepping, reglazing, and painting a difficult sunroom. This in-house glazing capability eliminates the need to coordinate a separate specialty contractor.

The About page states the same team handles every project with no outside subcontractors. Josh Hubert confirmed in his review that Fritts doesn't subcontract out the jobs to other companies and uses good quality Benjamin Moore paint with brush-and-roll application. This approach gives homeowners a consistent crew familiar with the company's standards rather than a rotating cast of workers.
