Molly Zabielski founded Clean & Coat Painting in 2023, drawing on her background as a leasing consultant and property manager in the Medina area. That experience shaped how the company operates, with Molly and operations lead Jacob handling every estimate in person before assigning dedicated project leaders to each job. The growing crew includes painters Alex, Eren, Matt, Aaron, TJ, PJ, Nick, Bill, and others who appear by name across dozens of customer reviews.
The fully insured team (workers' compensation and general liability) specializes in interior and exterior residential painting, cabinet refinishing, deck and fence staining, and pressure washing. A Sherwin-Williams partnership ensures premium paint products on every project, and the company offers a complimentary on-wall color test to help homeowners visualize their selections before committing.
Clean & Coat Painting is a PCA member and woman-owned business based in Medina County, serving Brunswick, Strongsville, Fairlawn, Barberton, Wadsworth, and surrounding Northeast Ohio communities.
