That 1 Painter Cincinnati is a residential and commercial painting company serving the greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area. The first conversation usually happens with owner John Brannen or his sales team, who handle estimates and walk homeowners through service options. Customers describe a responsive scheduling process, with one reviewer noting "they were the only painting company to respond in a timely manner and keep their scheduled estimation appointments." A free color consultation through the company's dedicated Color Studio is part of the planning process, and That 1 Painter Cincinnati is a member of the Anderson Area Chamber of Commerce.
The crew handles interior and exterior residential painting, cabinet refinishing, deck and fence staining, drywall repair, popcorn ceiling removal, pressure washing, and carpentry. Project managers like Andy Monnin, Eli Boyd, and Mary Riley coordinate between the estimate and final walkthrough. All work is backed by a 3-year transferable warranty covering labor and materials, and the company is fully insured with certificates available on request.

One review from Karen Bridges described property damage during an exterior project, including overspray and broken tiles. The owner responded, noting "we had a gutter company come in and replace any damaged gutters" and mentioned "monetarily reducing costs of the garden and several other paint related issues." The reviewer disputes that full resolution occurred. This is the only negative review among 78 total and raises questions about subcontractor oversight.
