Alex Clawson founded Painting Services Plus in 2021 after spending nearly 25 years in the painting and construction industry. The Toledo-based company has grown to a team of seven, with project manager Eric overseeing larger renovations while specialists like Maureen handle interior trim work, door staining, and wallpaper installation. George leads drywall texture projects, and painting crews including Devin, Tony, and Jasmine rotate across residential and commercial jobs.
The company operates a shop facility where cabinets, doors, and furniture are refinished off-site for superior results. Services extend beyond painting to include deck staining, popcorn ceiling removal, pressure washing, drywall repair, light carpentry, garage floor epoxy coating, and wood rot repair. Projects range from single-room refreshes to complete 4,500 square foot exterior transformations.
The fully insured team is BBB Accredited and serves Toledo, Maumee, Perrysburg, Sylvania, and surrounding Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan communities within a 50-mile radius.
