From fresh, modern colors to bold accent walls—our team delivers flawless finishes with daily communication and zero surprises. Free color consultation included.
At Queen City Painting & Decorating, we understand that every room tells a story. Whether you’re refreshing a single living room or reimagining your entire home, our experienced team brings expertise, transparency, and craftsmanship to every project.
Founded by Will Patrick and David Purtell, two painters who genuinely care, we’ve painted over 600 satisfied Cincinnati homes. We use premium Sherwin-Williams products, obsess over preparation, and communicate daily so you’re never wondering what’s happening in your home.
Cincinnati homes face distinct environmental and architectural challenges that demand expertise. Our humid summers and cold winters create moisture cycles that affect paint adhesion and longevity. Many Cincinnati properties, especially in historic neighborhoods like Hyde Park and Oakley, feature older plaster walls, higher ceilings, and intricate Victorian or Craftsman architectural details that require specialized knowledge and technique.
Understanding moisture patterns in older homes
Knowledge of plaster wall preparation and repair
Experience with high-ceiling and crown molding applications
Awareness of how Cincinnati’s seasonal humidity affects drying and finish quality
That’s where we come in. Our team has painted hundreds of Cincinnati homes. We know these challenges intimately.
Queen City Painting & Decorating was started by Will Patrick and David Purtell—two Cincinnati painters frustrated by the industry standard of cut corners and poor communication. We decided to do things differently. Every decision we make is guided by one question: “Would we be happy with this in our own home?”
We don't rush to paint. We spend time on proper surface prep, cleaning, patching, sanding, and priming. Great paint jobs are built on great preparation.
We exclusively use Sherwin-Williams interior paints. No shortcuts, no budget brands. Better products mean better results and longer-lasting finishes.
You'll hear from us every day. Text updates, progress photos, timeline changes, you're never left wondering what's happening in your home.
Our estimates are detailed and honest. No hidden fees. No surprises at the end.
We partner with Crystal Burton of UpRight Design to help you choose colors that work for your space, lighting, and style.
Whether it’s a single accent wall or a complete home refresh, we handle all interior painting projects with the same level of care and attention. Here’s what we paint:
Step 1: Free Consultation + Color Consultation
We start by understanding your vision. We'll tour your home, discuss colors, finishes, and timeline. Then, we connect you with Crystal Burton from UpRight Design for professional color guidance. This consultation is completely free, and you'll have a clear vision before work begins.
Step 2: Thorough Preparation
This is where great paint jobs are made. We clean all surfaces, fill gaps and cracks, sand rough areas, patch damaged drywall, prime bare spots, and protect your floors and furniture with drop cloths and plastic sheeting. Preparation takes time and that's intentional.
Step 3: Expert Application
Our team applies paint with precision. We use proper techniques for cutting in, rolling, and feathering. We maintain wet edges to avoid lap marks, apply multiple coats as needed, and ensure smooth, professional finishes throughout.
Step 4: Daily Communication & Cleanup
Each day, we clean up, remove protection materials from the previous day, and send you a progress update. You'll see daily progress and never feel out of the loop.
Step 5: Final Walkthrough & Inspection
Before we call the project complete, we do a detailed final walkthrough with you. We inspect the work together, address any touch-ups, and ensure you're thrilled with the results.
What You Get:
No Hidden Fees. Our estimates are detailed. You’ll know exactly what to expect before we start.
