4 HOURS OF FREE TOUCH UPS PER YEAR FOR LIFE
Room-by-room interior work with floors and furniture protected and a tidy site at the end of each day. Full detail on our interior painters in Columbia City page.
Siding, trim, porches and doors, prepped properly and finished with coatings chosen for exposure. See our exterior painters in Columbia City page for the full process.
Shops, offices, restaurants and light industrial premises around Columbia City and the wider county. We schedule around your business hours, keep the work area contained, and leave the site safe and clean at the end of each day so you can keep operating while we work.
Before paint goes anywhere near a wall, the wall has to be sound. We repair cracks, nail pops, water damage and renovation holes, then retexture so the patch blends into what surrounds it. Skipping this stage is the most common reason a fresh paint job looks wrong within a year.
Whitley County has a lot of deck footage, particularly around the lakes, and decks here take sun, rain and standing snow in equal measure. We clean and prepare the wood properly, then stain with a product matched to the wood and its exposure. Expect to revisit a deck every two to four years to keep ahead of it.
Old paper off, wall repaired underneath, surface left ready for its next finish. More on our wallpaper removal in Columbia City page.
The Tri-Lakes area has more log and timber homes than most of northern Indiana, and they need specialist attention. Penetrating stains rather than film coatings, careful preparation, and close attention to chinking and exposed end grain where water gets in. Done properly, a log home holds its finish for years; done as a paint job, it fails fast.
Siding, driveways, patios, decks and outbuildings cleaned back to a sound surface. On rural and lakeside properties this often does more for how a place looks than anything else — and where painting or staining is planned, it is the necessary first step.
We Give Back To Our Community
HAVE WE PAINTED IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD?
Columbia City Painting Company
Matthews Painting Company, LLC is a family-owned painting business that has served northern Indiana since 1998. Our home ground is the Warsaw and Syracuse area, and over the last several years we have taken on steadily more work in Columbia City and across Whitley County. We are a registered painting contractor with the State of Indiana and an accredited member of the Painting Contractors of America, which means meeting published standards to remain active rather than simply paying a fee.
Serving Columbia City and Whitley County
Columbia City sits between our home market and Fort Wayne, and the work here looks different from either. Whitley County properties tend to carry more outbuildings, more deck and fence footage, and a real concentration of timber and log homes out toward Tri-Lakes. We work regularly in South Whitley, Churubusco, Larwill and the Tri-Lakes communities. Staining and exterior protection make up a larger share of what we do here than they do in the towns closer to Warsaw.
The Quote — What You Get Before Any Work Starts
Every painting, staining or wallpaper removal job begins with a detailed written proposal setting out the scope and the cost. You get the price on the day we come out to look. There are no hidden extras added at the end and no open-ended time-and-material quotes that leave the final figure to chance. If the scope changes because we find something behind the wall, we tell you before we act on it, not afterward.
Warranty, Insurance and Guarantees
In Columbia City you have plenty of choices for residential painting. What we put behind ours is an exclusive 100% satisfaction guarantee, backed by a 7 Year Labor and Material Warranty and 4 hours of free touch-up painting once a year for life. The warranty covers peeling, chipping and blistering of newly applied paint or stain resulting from poor or improper workmanship, and it transfers to the future owner of your home or business.
Our painters are our own employees — background checked, drug screened, uniformed, and trained in interior and exterior techniques. They attend safety classes run by the Painting Contractors of America and Safety Training Solutions, and we have certified our painters in CPR. Using employees rather than under-insured subcontractors means you are covered by two million dollars of liability and umbrella insurance and workers compensation. Before we collect final payment, we walk the finished job with you.
Little Extras Go a Long Way
Proper preparation on every job. Complete clean-up and trash removal at the end. Scheduling that works around your week rather than ours. Free color consultation when you want a second opinion on a palette. None of these appear as line items on the quote — they are simply how the job runs.
