Residential Painting in Columbus, Ohio
Columbus’s older neighborhoods hold some of the region’s most distinctive homes — brick cottages in German Village, Victorians near Goodale Park, and Clintonville’s bungalows and Colonials. Many have modern interiors behind historic fronts, so a single house can call for both traditional and contemporary finishes.
Homes in Columbus
Areas include German Village, Clintonville, Victorian Village, Italian Village.
Historic districts
German Village, Victorian Village and Italian Village are city historic districts, each with a commission that reviews certain exterior changes — often including paint colours on some surfaces. Check with the City of Columbus Historic Preservation Office before planning exterior colour changes.
Historic surfaces
Brick cottages, Italianate and Queen Anne homes carry painted wood trim, brackets, cornices and windows. These need careful scraping and priming, and pre-1978 homes may contain lead-based paint that affects how prep is done. Unpainted historic brick generally shouldn’t be painted without careful thought.
Renovated interiors
Many homes in these neighborhoods and in Clintonville have been renovated inside, with open plans and contemporary kitchens. These spaces suit clean, modern finishes, while original staircases and trim may call for a more traditional approach.
