Hilliard Painting Contractor Delivers Meticulous Craftsmanship for Historic Parish Residence

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GAHANNA, OHIO – September 21st 2026 – Columbus Painting, a commercial and residential painting contractor serving Columbus, Ohio, has completed a comprehensive interior painting transformation of the rectory at St. Matthew's Catholic Church in Gahanna, reflecting the company's growing expertise serving religious institutions throughout Central Ohio with craftsmanship that respects sacred, historic spaces. The project encompassed the rectory residence, where St. Matthew's clergy live and conduct much of the parish's daily pastoral work. Columbus Painting approached the work with the discretion religious institutions require, coordinating closely with parish staff to minimize disruption to daily operations and masses. "Working within a rectory requires a different level of care and respect than a typical commercial project," said Adam Russo, Founder and CEO of Columbus Painting. "This is both a residence and a working extension of the parish, and our team treated it that way from the first walkthrough to the final coat. St. Matthew's is a great example of the kind of work we hope to do more of this year."

A Transformation Rooted in Craftsmanship and Care

The project involved comprehensive interior surface preparation and painting throughout the residence, including living quarters, common areas, offices, and gathering spaces used for parish business. Columbus Painting used premium Sherwin-Williams interior coatings selected for durability and a timeless finish, along with careful color consultation preserving the home's character. Because the rectory remains an active residence and part of parish operations, scheduling was central to the project's success. "Working with the team at Columbus Painting was a great experience from start to finish. Scheduling and coordination were easy, and their attention to detail—from preparation through cleanup—was excellent. They were respectful of our space and flexible enough to work around a busy calendar of church programs and clergy meetings. We were so pleased with the work that we expanded the project to include offices and meeting rooms in the church. We trusted them with our religious space, and I also trusted them with my own home. They exceeded our expectations on every project," said George Harvey, Facilities Superintendent at St. Matthew's Catholic Church. "Painting a home is always personal, but painting a rectory adds another layer of meaning," Russo added. "It's a place of daily life and a place of ministry at the same time, and we wanted the result to feel warm and dignified."

Expanding Service to Churches and Religious Institutions Across Central Ohio

The St. Matthew's project reflects a deliberate expansion of Columbus Painting's institutional services into the religious sector. Churches, rectories, and diocesan buildings carry the same budget-conscious, schedule-sensitive requirements as other institutional settings, paired with an added expectation of discretion. Columbus Painting is actively pursuing partnerships with Catholic parishes, churches of all denominations, rectories, and diocesan properties throughout Columbus, Gahanna, Westerville, New Albany, Dublin, and Hilliard. The company's approach includes flexible scheduling, low-disruption work practices, and value-conscious pricing. "Our goal is to become the go-to painting contractor for churches, rectories, and religious institutions throughout Central Ohio," Russo said. "We want every parish we work with to feel their space was handled with the same care we'd want for our own church."
