Our Chooz Score evaluates 44 factors across reviews, digital presence, and business credentials. Here's what stands out for Resurrection Painting LLC
On a commercial project in Lorain, owner Jonah Byard stopped what he was doing to help a woman carry her bags home. The customer who shared that story, a commercial client at Premier Resources, called it "not something you see every day" and said it "speaks to his character and the culture he sets for his crew." That moment captures how Resurrection Painting LLC operates.
Jonah Byard runs the company from Tallmadge, serving residential and commercial clients across the Akron area. The crew includes Calvin, Adam, Lexie, Mike, and Joe. The team handles interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, wallpaper removal, drywall repair, pressure washing, and epoxy floor coatings. One customer noted they chose Resurrection "because workers are employees, not subcontractors or day laborers."
