Columbus Painting finishes St. Matthew’s rectory renovation in Gahanna

Columbus Painting completed an interior painting project at St. Matthew’s Catholic Church rectory in Gahanna, Ohio, extending its work in Central Ohio’s religious sector. The project highlights demand for discreet, schedule-sensitive contractor work in active parish spaces.

Why it matters: - The rectory at St. Matthew’s Catholic Church is both a residence and a working part of parish life, so the project required careful scheduling and limited disruption. - The job strengthens Columbus Painting’s push into churches, rectories and other religious properties across Central Ohio. - The work adds to the company’s portfolio in education, corporate, hospitality and institutional facilities.

What happened: - Columbus Painting completed a comprehensive interior painting transformation at the St. Matthew’s Catholic Church rectory in Gahanna, Ohio. - The project covered the living quarters, common areas, offices and gathering spaces used for parish business. - The company coordinated closely with parish staff to avoid disrupting daily operations and masses. - Adam Russo, founder and CEO of Columbus Painting, said the team treated the rectory as both a residence and an extension of the parish. - George Harvey, facilities superintendent at St. Matthew’s Catholic Church, said the team handled scheduling, preparation, cleanup and flexibility well. - Harvey said the parish expanded the project to include offices and meeting rooms in the church.

The details: - Columbus Painting used premium Sherwin-Williams interior coatings for durability and a timeless finish. - The company also provided color consultation to preserve the character of the home. - The project took place while the rectory remained an active residence and part of parish operations. - Columbus Painting said it approaches religious spaces with discretion and low-disruption work practices. - The company says it is pursuing partnerships with Catholic parishes, churches of all denominations, rectories and diocesan properties in Columbus, Gahanna, Westerville, New Albany, Dublin and Hilliard. - Columbus Painting says its service model includes flexible scheduling and value-conscious pricing. - The company says it maintains commercial liability insurance and uses licensed, background-checked painting teams.

Between the lines: - The project suggests Columbus Painting is trying to convert institutional experience into a broader niche in faith-based facilities. - Religious properties often need contractors who can work around worship schedules, meetings and daily use, which can favor companies with repeatable processes and strong coordination. - The emphasis on discretion and respect signals that the company is selling trust as much as painting labor.

What’s next: - Columbus Painting said it wants to become the go-to painting contractor for churches, rectories and religious institutions across Central Ohio. - The company is positioned to keep expanding its institutional work as it seeks more parish and diocesan partnerships. - Columbus Painting will continue marketing commercial and residential painting services throughout Central Ohio from its Hilliard headquarters.

The bottom line: - The St. Matthew’s rectory project is both a finished renovation and a signal that Columbus Painting wants a bigger role in Central Ohio’s religious-building market.
