Mike Kowalski
Founder & Owner, Youngstown Painters
Built on Reputation,
Not Advertising
I started Youngstown Painters in 2009 with two employees, a used van, and a simple belief: if you do great work and treat people right, the business will come. Seventeen years later, that belief has held up.
Most of our new customers come from referrals — neighbors recommending us to neighbors, homeowners telling their friends, property managers calling us back year after year. That is the kind of reputation you can only build one job at a time.
We are not the cheapest option in Youngstown. We are not trying to be. We hire experienced painters, use premium materials, and spend more time on prep than most contractors spend on the whole job. The result is a paint job that looks better and lasts longer — and that is what our customers pay for.
Every project I take on, I ask myself: would I be proud to drive past this house in five years? If the answer is yes, we did our job.
What Sets Us Apart
Licensed & Insured
Fully licensed in the state of Ohio and carrying $2M in general liability insurance. You are protected on every project.
Quality Guaranteed
We stand behind every job with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If something is not right, we make it right — no questions asked.
Honest Estimates
No bait-and-switch pricing. The number on your estimate is the number on your invoice. We explain every line item before we start.
On Time, Every Time
We show up when we say we will and finish when we say we will. Your time matters, and we treat it that way.
Our Own Crew
We never subcontract. Every painter on your job is a trained, background-checked Youngstown Painters employee.
Locally Rooted
We live and work in Northeast Ohio. We are invested in this community and proud to serve our neighbors.
Experienced Painters,
Not Day Labor
Every painter on our crew is a full-time Youngstown Painters employee — not a subcontractor, not a temp. We train our own people, run background checks, and hold everyone to the same standard of quality and professionalism.
Our senior painters average over 8 years of experience. When you hire us, you get the same crew that has been doing this work for years — not whoever showed up that morning.
- Background-checked employees only
- Ongoing training on products and techniques
- Uniformed, professional appearance on every job
- Drug-free workplace policy
17 Years in the Making
Founded
Mike Kowalski starts Youngstown Painters out of his truck with two employees and a commitment to doing things right.
Expanded to Commercial
Growing reputation leads to first major commercial contracts with local businesses and property management companies.
Cabinet Refinishing Launch
Added professional cabinet refinishing to the service lineup after dozens of homeowners asked for a kitchen update without the replacement cost.
500 Projects Milestone
Completed our 500th project — a full exterior repaint in Canfield — and expanded the crew to 12 full-time painters.
Still Going Strong
Over 600 projects completed, 15+ crew members, and the same commitment to quality that started it all.
