About Cipriano Painting
Cipriano Painting is a father-and-son operation built on hands-on preparation and clean finishing practices honed over three decades of residential work across Greater Cleveland. Mike and Jake Cipriano handle every project themselves, from initial walkthroughs and written estimates through final touch-ups and cleanup at the end of each day.
Their process begins with thorough surface prep, including sanding, patching drywall imperfections, and protecting all furniture and flooring before any paint is applied. Preparation is treated as the foundation of every job, not an afterthought, and the same attention carries through to the chosen paints and application methods.
The team covers interior and exterior painting, pressure washing, deck staining and restoration, wallpaper removal and installation, and ceiling and wall repairs. Projects move at an efficient pace, with many single-room jobs completed in a day and whole-house interiors finished within a week.
Mike provides same-day or next-day estimates and maintains direct communication with every homeowner through text and phone calls. The crew arrives at the scheduled time, works through the day, and cleans up before leaving each evening.
