Gates Mills, Ohio — Cuyahoga County

A Painter for Gates Mills

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

Gates Mills, on the map

Gates Mills sits about 15 miles east of downtown Cleveland, bordered by Mayfield Heights, Mayfield and Hunting Valley. It's a village of about 2,200 people. Lakeshore Painting Services covers all 57 communities in the county, Gates Mills included — one phone call and Billy comes to you.

Gates Mills isn't on the lake, but it's on the list — every Cuyahoga County community is. The estimate, the prep and the cleanup work exactly the same way here as they do a block from the water.

What we do in Gates Mills

A lot of Greater Cleveland housing is older than the people living in it — plaster walls, real-wood trim, layer on layer of old paint. Painting that well is mostly patience: fill, sand, prime, then color. The same discipline runs through every service on this list.

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.
