About
Tired of contractor roulette? We built PristineWorks to eliminate the horror stories.
Growing up around the real estate business with my mother, I saw it all: disappearing crews, surprise fees, and ruined hardwood floors. I founded PristineWorks Painting LLC to deliver luxury finishes without the typical contractor drama. We treat your property, your furniture, and your pets like our own.
The PristineWorks Standard:
- Obsessive Communication: Daily morning check-ins and progress updates via your preferred channel. You will never have to chase us down.
- Flawless Prep First: 80% of a luxury paint job happens before opening a can. We power-wash, scrape, caulk, and prime every square inch so your finish lasts for years.
- Complete Protection: Fully insured with $1,000,000 in General Liability, full Workers’ Comp, and up to 6-year Sherwin-Williams product warranties.
- Zero Financial Guesswork: Transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden charges. Just a 30% deposit to lock in your date, and you don’t pay the final 70% until the job is 100% complete and you love the results.

Michael from Pristine Works did an amazing job installing crown molding in my kitchen. He was professional, knowledgeable, respectful, and very easy to work with. My schedule is extremely busy, and he was willing to work around my availability after work, which I really appreciated.
Communication was excellent from start to finish, and the work was completed at a very affordable price. My kitchen is one of the smallest and most awkwardly shaped spaces imaginable, so this definitely wasn’t a simple DIY project. There were angles, corners, and uneven spaces throughout the room, but the finished product looks beautiful. The cuts are crisp, the lines are clean, and the attention to detail really shows.
The crown molding completely transformed the space. It lifted the look of the room, made the ceilings feel taller, and gave my kitchen a much more finished and custom appearance.
I am extremely happy with the results and would absolutely recommend Michael and Pristine Works to anyone looking for quality work at a fair price.
Details: Crown molding • Plaster • I'm flexible • This is just an installation job - no design needed • As recommended by carpenter • 0 - 40 ft • I do not need it painted or stained

So glad we went with this company. Mike and his team were great to work with. Mike had some great ideas to accomplish the look that we wanted for our ceiling beams and kitchen cabinets. We are very satisfied with the finished project.
Details: Home • 2 rooms • Walls • 8 - 10 feet (standard ceiling) • Repainting, with a color change • Fair - minor holes and scratches • No, this is not new construction • I'm flexible • Owner

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We don’t believe in moving goalposts or 'surprise' fees on the final invoice. We provide highly detailed, transparent, and written estimates upfront so you know exactly what you are paying for before a paintbrush even touches a wall. To secure your spot on our production calendar, we ask for a 30% deposit. The remaining 70% is not due until the project is completely finished and you are 100% satisfied with the results. We invest heavily in unglamorous but essential prep work and premium Sherwin-Williams materials to ensure a luxury finish that lasts for years, protecting your home's equity.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We’ve completely engineered the typical contractor drama out of our process. It’s seamless and stress-free:
- The In-Person Estimate: We walk your property, talk through your vision, and provide a clear, upfront price.
- Color & Customization: We help you lock in your perfect palette (and handle HOA approvals if needed).
- The Pristine Prep: We power wash, scrape, prime, caulk, and mask off everything to protect your furniture and floors.
- Flawless Execution: We apply premium topcoats while keeping you updated daily via text, call, or email—whichever lets you sleep better at night.
- The Celebration Walkthrough: We review the final product together to ensure absolute perfection before collecting the balance.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our expertise is rooted in years of hands-on real estate experience in the Central Ohio market. Working closely with property investments taught us exactly how a home needs to be prepped, protected, and painted to maximize its aesthetic value and structural integrity. We pair that real estate background with rigorous product training directly from Sherwin-Williams, ensuring our crews utilize advanced bonding primers and premium coatings (like Cashmere and Emerald) for a factory-smooth, highly durable finish.
