Why Choose Haar Painting?
Proven Local Experience That Actually Matters
Northwest Ohio isn't a cookie-cutter market. Between older homes, mixed-use commercial buildings, and harsh seasonal weather, experience isn't optional, it's essential.
Three generations strong. Family-owned since 1985. Haar Painting brings nearly four decades of hands-on experience working on older residential properties, modern commercial spaces, and large institutional facilities throughout Toledo, Perrysburg, Sylvania, Maumee, Findlay, and surrounding communities. As a family-owned business now in its third generation, we've built our reputation on continuity, accountability, and craftsmanship passed down through the years. From detailed prep on historic homes to large-scale projects like the University of Findlay, our team understands how to adapt methods, materials, and scheduling to the job at hand.
The result: finishes that last longer, look better, and perform as expected because they were done right the first time.
Fully Licensed, Insured & Compliance-Focused
No shortcuts. No risk to you. Professional painting, especially commercial and institutional work, demands proper licensing, insurance, and safety awareness. Haar Painting maintains:
FULL GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE
OSHA-aware crews for commercial, industrial, and lift work
Workers' compensation coverage for all crew members
Lead-safe practices for older, pre-1978 homes
We provide documentation promptly and clearly because transparency and accountability are part of doing business the right way.
Thorough Surface Preparation & Clear Process
Paint doesn't fail, preparation does. That's why Haar Painting places as much emphasis on prep as on application.
Every project begins with a clear plan that may include:
Power washing or hand washing based on surface condition
Scraping, sanding, caulking, and priming as required
Moisture and substrate checks: critical in Ohio's climate
Protection of landscaping, floors, equipment, and occupied spaces
For commercial clients, we also offer phased work plans to minimize disruption to operations, tenants, or staff.
You'll always know what's happening and why.
