Photos of Every Room Before Work Begins
That's a detail you don't see often in this trade. 216 Painting photographs rooms before work begins so everything returns to its original position when the project is done. Crews repair drywall, scrape and sand surfaces, protect furniture and flooring, and follow a structured surface preparation process that gets equal priority to the finish coat. Founded in 2020 by Jack Newman and Noah Zimmerman, the Bedford Heights-based team handles interior painting, exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, deck and fence staining, front door refinishing, and wallpaper removal. The Chooz Score's review complexity indicators are at full marks because customers describe specific process steps and specific outcomes. This company earned a Chooz Score of 85.0%.

Additional Questions Answered
How does 216 Painting LP keep homeowners informed throughout a project?
The company sends weekly email updates confirming the project remains on schedule and the expected start date. The week work begins, homeowners receive the names of their assigned crew members and the exact arrival time. Lee Berlyoung noted that receiving consistent scheduling emails before the painters even arrived gave the process a level of transparency he had not experienced with other contractors.
What preparation steps does the 216 Painting crew take before applying paint?
Crews begin with drywall repair, crack filling, sanding, and priming to create a smooth foundation. For interiors, furniture and floors are fully covered and rooms are photographed beforehand so belongings can be returned to their original positions. Susan Bodovetz described how the team removed draperies, blinds, and pictures, then reinstalled everything after painting without being asked.
What do customers say about the individual painters on the 216 Painting team?
Reviewers frequently name crew members by first name and describe their work habits in detail. Donna Harrell praised Edgar, Larson, and Jessie for their professionalism and genuine care, while Monte Guitar highlighted Edgar's daily walkthroughs explaining progress and addressing challenging areas. Annie Becker singled out Roma for being meticulous, quiet, and dedicated to doing excellent work.
Can 216 Painting handle homes with challenging exteriors or extensive repair needs?
The team takes on projects that other companies decline. Allison Clarke hired them for a four-story home set into a hill with cedar siding in disrepair after several companies refused to bid. Ilan Wexler noted the crew's carpenter repaired rotted window sills before painting, and Amy Pincus praised both the painting and the carpentry work for replacing damaged boards on her home.
Do customers come back to 216 Painting for additional projects?
Multiple reviewers describe hiring the company more than once. Tammy Rose brought them back for indoor painting after a summer exterior project.

Heather Williams returned for a second phase covering entryway, office, and laundry room cabinets after an initial interior project.
How does 216 Painting approach kitchen cabinet refinishing?
Cabinet projects follow the same prep-heavy process as wall painting.
