Cleveland, Ohio — Cuyahoga County

A Painter for Cleveland

Billy Mason has been painting for twenty-five years. If your place is in Cleveland, he'll come take a look at it.

Cleveland, on the map

Lakeshore Painting Services covers all 57 communities in the county, Cleveland included — one phone call and Billy comes to you.

The company is based in Cleveland, and the city is where everything starts — the west-side corridor in its name begins at the Lakewood line.

Twenty-five years of it

Billy Mason has spent twenty-five years painting — interiors, exteriors, cabinets, commercial space, older homes. This website is new. The work behind it isn't.

Twenty-five years teaches a painter what actually decides how a job turns out: the prep before the paint, a price in writing before anyone starts, and a site left clean at the end of every day.

What we do in Cleveland

Northeast Ohio is hard on paint — freeze-thaw winters, wet springs, weather straight off the lake. Close to the shore, exteriors earn their keep, and preparation is most of the job: scrape and sand to sound surface, prime bare wood, caulk the gaps water finds. Then the color. Interiors, cabinets and commercial work run on the same rule — prep first.
