Sunlight Housepainting brings interior and exterior painting to homes across the Columbus area, with cabinet refinishing as a signature offering. Owner Aaron Steininger has built a hands-on operation where named crew members like Mitchell, Christian, and Abe appear throughout customer reviews. The company holds an A+ BBB rating and PCA/PDCA membership, and Aaron's involvement runs from the first estimate through the final inspection on every project.
A free color consultation with Gail accompanies most projects, and customers regularly mention how that guidance shaped their final color choices on everything from cabinets to whole-house exteriors. Beyond paint, the team handles light carpentry alongside the brush work, replacing rotted trim, soffit boards, and cedar siding when prep reveals damage that needs fixing first.
Service runs across New Albany, Gahanna, Blacklick, Westerville, Galena, Lewis Center, Powell, Dublin, Delaware, and Worthington in central Ohio. Past customers come back for second and third projects, and the office holds onto leftover paint so touchups become possible years later.
