On those first bright, sunny days of spring, when you pull out of your driveway and take an honest look at your home’s exterior, do you love what you see? Did it withstand the winter weather and look as strikingly beautiful as the day you bought it?

The seasoned professionals at Curb Appeal Painting can bring your home back to that original beauty or totally transform it with a bold new hue.

“The East Side is known for its large and grand homes,” says company owner Andrew Smola. “We have worked on many of them since 2003 and don’t have any difficulty managing the finer intricacies.”

“To withstand Cleveland winters, Curb Appeal practices the one-two punch of only using the top-tier of professional-grade paint formulas, along with its meticulous method of prep work.”

In addition to whole-house painting, Curb Appeal can pull off a mini-transformation by painting shutters, trim and the front door, too.

“Whether wood or aluminum siding or vinyl siding, we can precisely color match anything from a photo the client gives us of their dream home from Pinterest or Houzz,” he adds. “And since we have carpenters on staff, we can fix any issues on wood homes we may encounter during a job. Another consideration is to check on the paint color restrictions some cities have. We are well versed in following those.”

In addition to whole-house painting, he says they can pull off a mini-transformation by painting shutters, trim and the front door, too. Other exterior services include staining, window painting, window glazing, wood rot repair, carpentry, soffit repair, porch repair, front column repair and deck repair.

To withstand Cleveland winters, Curb Appeal practices the one-two punch of only using the top-tier of professional-grade paint formulas, along with its meticulous method of prep work.

Their pre-painting efforts are equally meticulous. Rob reports they mask off trim and lay industrial drop cloths to protect landscaping, patios or walkways.

What Clients are Saying
Curb Appeal has beautified some of the best-looking homes around town. Here are two of their 5 star reviews.

“The Curb Appeal team was outstanding to work with from quote to completion,” says Dave A. “We had a substantial exterior stain job on our stone and cedar home including some carpentry repair work. We got several quotes over a two-year period before we selected Curb Appeal. From the very beginning, they were top-notch, responding to our request for a quote within 24 hours, making several visits to discuss the job and our expectations, and providing a detailed, thoughtful, professional quote with various options to consider.”
For Erika O., there was a lot of prep work on the exterior job, with four colors she selected. “They were absolutely great. Their quote was not the cheapest nor the most expensive and I am so pleased I went with them. My house looks perfect and I’m so glad to come home to it every day now.”

Rob reports their schedule for exterior painting begins to fill up by early April, so best to stay ahead of it if you’d like your home transformed soon.
