When Steve Christians closed on his new home in mid-December and needed painting completed so his family could recarpet and move in by Christmas for his two young boys, owner Chris Webb's response was simple: "We'll get it done." And he did. This commitment to meeting tight deadlines while maintaining quality defines how CAW Painting & Preservation operates across the Greater Cincinnati area.
Chris Webb founded CAW Painting & Preservation in 2015, building a veteran-owned, family-operated business where the owner works alongside the crew rather than managing from a distance. The licensed and insured team specializes in interior and exterior residential painting, cabinet refinishing, deck and gazebo staining, trim work, and commercial projects. Beyond painting, they handle roofing installation and repair, gutter services, siding work, and storm damage restoration with insurance claim assistance.
Based in Cincinnati, CAW Painting & Preservation serves Hamilton County, Clermont County, Butler County, Warren County, and Northern Kentucky communities including Kenton and Campbell counties. The company maintains Cincinnati contractor registration as required by Municipal Code Chapter 1106.
