Eric Cox launched Purpose Driven Painting from Maineville, Ohio, after a stint in sports marketing convinced him cubicle work wasn't his calling. He runs the company alongside Shannon, who handles project coordination and client communication. Lead painters Jorge and Jorge Jr run most crews, while Luis and Carlos handle detailed wall repair and finish work.
The company handles interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, drywall repair, ceiling and trim restoration, and deck and fence staining. Their prep gets concrete praise. Branden Medeiros wrote that the crew "patched the holes, repaired failing joint seals, and repainted" after previous homeowners left extensive drywall damage. Eric checks in throughout each project, sends progress photos, and walks the finished job with each client before requesting payment.
Purpose Driven Painting operates from offices in Maineville and Dayton, serving Mason, West Chester, Loveland, Springboro, Centerville, Kettering, Beavercreek, and the surrounding Greater Northern Cincinnati and Southern Dayton corridor. The team backs every project with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and operates as an active Ohio LLC.
