Pierson Professional Painting LLC was started over 10 yrs ago and we take pride in our workmanship and the overall experience our customers have with us from start to finish. It is my belief that anyone should be able to hire a painting contractor and have a great experience. We work hard to satisfy the needs of our customers, and that starts from the estimate process and goes all the way through to completion of a project. We feel confident you will have a good experience, and more importantly when problems do arise (and they do!) we will work to overcome those problems and still deliver a great product. I have much appreciation for the relationships I have gained through working with Angie's List customers. We are not just an interior painting company, but we cover many areas of the home from exterior painting, decks, wood restoration (front doors), driveway sealing, cabinetry painting and refacing, light carpentry, stenciling, wallpaper removal, drywall repair and finishing, wainscoting, ship lap walls, fiberglass door staining, handrail and balustrade refinishing, light electrical and hanging of artwork. I want you to know we appreciate the opportunity to work with you, and without great customers we can't have a great business. I believe we are willing... and therefore we have been able to satisfy our customers thus far, and will continue to do so in the future.

"We are happy with the colors, the touches he added, professionalism, and how everything looks!"

Our company had it’s beginning January 1st of 2000 in Cincinnati, Ohio. We’ve completed countless residential projects since then, from many different suburbs along with the rebirth of the historic downtown area of Over the Rhine. We can include projects from Lebanon, Mason, Loveland, Indian Hill, Westchester, Montgomery, Oakley, Hyde Park, Mt. Lookout, Maderia, Milford, and others. Even down into Northern, Kentucky. Our hard work ethics and extreme attention to detail are just a few things that have made this company successful. We can’t forget too, our customer service is second to none! This sets us apart from the competition, and sets our customer’s minds at ease throughout all phases of their projects. We are ready to earn your business!

"Hogeland Construction was the best company that we worked with during the entire build. We began the build right when Covid hit. There were delays upon delays that were out of our locus of control due to Covid restrictions. These delays included in permiting, inspections, availability of materials etc. Covid turn everything upside down. However, Bryan Hogeland was able to adapt to the obstacles and never compromised on the quality of his work. We were impressed by his ability to pivot at a moment's notice to the unpredicted challenges the arose. Bryan's greatest characteristic is his thorough communication. He would even call at night in the middle of a torrential rain storm to make sure that there were no leaks. We can say that I really believed that he was as invested in this project as we were. It was a true partnership."

"It was wonderful working with all the guys - Brett, Marcus, Nathan, Tim, and Josh. The "pain" of the house hold being disrupted for the project was really minimal for my husband and me. These guys really worked beyond the parimeters of the job of painting our living room and front hall. They even finished earlier than we thought they would, and when they left, there were no messes anywhere. They even put the furniture back and re-hung the pictures. Their work was outstanding. I highly recommend this company."

"Brad, owner, proposed to remove wallpaper from the Living Room & Dining Room, paint walls, ceilings, chair rails & crown molding for $2,589 all materials included. He said it would take 2 days, possibly 3 days. We agreed to start on October 29, 2025 with Thomas. Thomas showed up at my door at 10:00 am with no equipment or materials to. start the wallpaper removal. Brad, the owner, came later with the materials & equipment. Floor was covered with plastic, but furniture was not covered in plastic. From. 10:00 am. to. 2:00 pm, Thomas would. work 15-20 minutes and. then step outside for 15-20 minutes multiple. times during that 4 hour time period. He worked consistently from 2:00 pm to 4:45 pm. Only one wall had most of the wallpaper removed. on Day #1. The next morning I called Brad to describe the slow progress and multiple long breaks Thomas took. Brad text me at 8:54 am saying he took Thomas off the job and Ruben will be coming out 10-11 am to pick up where Thomas left off. Ruben arrived at 1:15 pm and left to go to Sherwin Williams to get the wallpaper remover. Ruben started working on removing wallpaper about 2:00 pm until 6:30 pm.Ruben did not cover the floor or furniture. I walked in to see that the wallpaper remover bottle, a water bottle, and his wet clothing was sitting on my 1949 antique dining room table without a protective finish. Some of the wallpaper remover had spilled on the table and one of the chests. When I tried to wipe up the remover, it had already seeped into the wood, was sticky, and pulled the table finish off, so I stopped. I called Brad, the owner, and described what had happened and asked him to please bring plastic to cover my floors and furniture, before more damage was done. Brad said he would drop some off after his last appointment. Only 2/3 of the wallpaper had been removed at the end of Day #2. Ruben said he would arrive at 8:30. am on Day #3. He showed up at 10:00 am. He worked until 12:00 pm, when he left for lunch. He didn't return until 2:10 pm. I text Brad about all my concerns. He called me to discuss. I asked him where Ruben was and why he was gone for 2 hours. Brad said he didn't know. He's never had any complaints about Ruben before. He said he understood my frustration with Thomas the first day, but that he is trying to get the job done for me. That's all he can do. He implied that I was complaining about every little thing (i.e., punctuality, respect for peoples time & property, quality work, reliable & consistent work). He said that he can get the job done or I can have them stop working. I was not happy with his response & called Angis Customer Service to share my concerns. Meanwhile, on Day #3, Ruben worked from 2:15 to 4:15 pm. 4 hours total. After he left, there was a strong chemical odor in my dining room. I noticed 2 white saturated rags under the plastic sheets on the floor. Upon further examination I discovered 2 areas where the chemical had been trapped under the plastic and the floor was wet. I removed all the plastic, threw it away in my garage garbage and washed the wet areas on the floor to remove the wallpaper remover. The plastic tarp was taped on the floor Thursday afternoon and it is now Friday evening. The toxic fumes were overpowering that night giving me a headache, so Saturday morning I removed the large pile of wet rags & tarps left by Ruben in the corner of my living room, the large bag of trash that he left, and all his equpiment. I examined the floor to discover that the moisture had already seeped into the seams and was cupping in several areas where the remover saturated rags had been lying. See photos. After sweeping up all the wallpaper scraps, I also discovered that 3 areas of the quarter round finish had been scraped off, and there's a nick on top of my chest. Ruben's neglect and carelessness has caused unnecessary damage and mental anguish, not to mention, that only 3/4 of the wallpaper in the dining room has been removed in 3 days. I honestly do not feel comfortable having Ruben or CinDay Painters continue working in my home. They do not respect my time or my personal property, are not punctual, and have produced overall poor quality workmanship. They have not even come close to finishing the job in 2-3 days."

Wood Stripping Companies questions, answered by experts

The signs of rot depend on the type. Dry rot looks like cube-shaped cracks with a fluffy white, cotton-like texture. Wood with dry rot may also have a strong, musty smell. 

Signs of other types of rot include wood that looks mushy or has black spots. The wood may crumble or give way when touched.

Yes, pressure-treated wood can occasionally turn green due to certain preservatives, such as copper-based chemicals, used during the treatment process. These chemicals react with the wood, creating a greenish tint. The good news? It's temporary, and the color will fade over time. Staining or painting can also help hide any unwanted hues.

Most homeowners insurance policies won’t pay for the removal of dead, rotting trees. That’s because insurance is intended to protect you from sudden, unexpected accidents. So if a tree is sick, dying, neglected, or rotten but is still standing and hasn’t caused any property damage, it’s unlikely your insurance will cover the cost to have it removed. 

Yes, wood rot spreads and causes damage due to fungi. All forms of wet rot caused by fungi spread throughout the frame and door, but they’ll stop when encountering non-wood materials. Dry rot, on the other hand, spreads throughout the area to wood with porous openings to accept the spores.

Outside of regular maintenance, most gutter repairs are best left to the pros. Most gutter projects require basic ladder safety and (sometimes) getting on top of your roof. Without the proper equipment (or if you generally get a little nervous with heights), you could put yourself at risk of serious injury. On top of that, improperly repaired gutters could result in longer term damage that requires a full replacement.
