The Art of Color

For much less than the cost of a complete remodel, United Painting Company owner Vinny Calo can give your home a brand new look with a fresh coat of custom color or a creative faux finish. But Vinny is no ordinary painter. He’s an artist—and he’s affordable.

What’s your favorite color? For Vinny Calo, owner of The United Painting Company of Broadview Heights, it’s all of them. Vinny is a trained artist who happens to paint, and his canvases are the walls of your home or office.
Vinny says that color creates emotion and atmosphere, and he specializes in creating color schemes that reflect and complement the owner’s personal tastes. “Your home or office is your personal space, and I can help create a custom décor by painting a room that matches that individual style,” Vinny explains.

After nearly 20 years with a paintbrush, Vinny has perfected his painting skills, and his artistic ability goes far beyond “builder beige.” He wanted to be an art teacher and went to college for Art and Business. He likes to be part of the color process. “I am happy to help with your overall decorating of the room we are painting,” Vinny offers. “The artist in me can envision how everything will blend in a room.”

Sure you might be able to paint the room yourself, but can you do it as professionally as Vinny and his crew? The United Painting Company promises clean straight lines, caulking of cracks on the walls, and filling in of nail holes. They promise no paint drops on floor and all furniture will be moved and covered. “I’m a homeowner myself, and I know how important your home is to you. I will paint your house as if it were my own,” assures Vinny.

Vinny isn’t a hands-off painting contractor who sends employees to work. He owns the business and he does the work, too. “I do business with homeowners, architects and interior designers,” he says. “I specialize in custom painting.”

But don’t let the word custom scare you.

“My price will almost always be the lowest estimate you get,” he smiles. “I’m happy to break out paint and labor costs so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.”

A fresh coat of paint can change a room at a fraction of the cost of other options. Vinny creates custom interior finishes for homes and businesses that include murals, decorative vines and floral motifs, color washing, blend-on-blend, combing, and marbleizing. Other faux finishing options include wood grain, suede and granite effects; gold leaf simulated Venetian and old-world plaster; various fresco effects; and about a dozen more techniques.

Let’s not forget the outside of your home. There is always a great return on your investment with a fresh coat of paint and The United Painting Company does exterior painting, staining, power washing and decks, too. Vinny’s work can improve the beauty and charm and even the resale value of your home—inside and out.

Vinny Calo at The United Painting Company offers a complimentary consultation to discuss your interior or exterior painting requirements. He can be reached at 216-407-8027. No job is too big or too small.
