About Buckeye House Painting
Buckeye House Painting sends uniformed, in-house crews to homes across Central Ohio for interior and exterior painting, pressure washing, deck and fence staining, and complimentary color consultations. The Powell-based team, led by owner Bob Klem and estimator Dan Hartwell, handles every project from the initial walkthrough to the final touch-up without subcontractors.
Their process starts with thorough surface preparation that customers notice right away. Crews tape off surrounding areas, move and cover furniture, take down blinds, patch drywall holes, and sand surfaces before applying paint. When the job wraps, they put everything back in place and leave the space clean. Homeowners who have hired Buckeye for multiple projects over the years point to this attention to preparation and cleanup as the reason they keep coming back.
The company holds a BBB A+ rating with longstanding accreditation and has earned the Angi Super Service Award for more than fourteen consecutive years across multiple service categories. Bob and Dan answer the phone directly, schedule on-site quotes, and follow each project through to completion.
