Neubert Painting Announces 3rd Annual $10,000 Charity Paint Giveaway

Neubert Painting is a residential painting contractor located in Lakewood. We’ve been in business since 1975 and part of our mission as a company is to give back to our community. That’s why we started our Charity Paint Giveaway in the summer of 2008. Each year we ask the community to nominate a worthy homeowner or charitable organization that is in need of a paint job, but truly cannot afford it.

In 2008, we repainted the exterior of the home of a very special Lakewood resident. Nancy is truly inspiring. In spite of her own physical disabilities, she regularly volunteers her time as well as the special talents of her dog, to others, providing pet therapy to shut-ins who benefit from interaction with animals. In 2009, we chose Providence House, a crisis nursery for babies located in Ohio City. Providence House takes in more than 200 infants each year providing them with love and shelter while its dedicated staff and volunteers also work to rehabilitate and teach good parenting skills to the children’s mothers and fathers. Neubert Painting was pleased to refresh and renew the exterior of this very worthy home.

We had several sponsors for last year’s event. Sherwin-Williams provided paint and other materials and Sunbelt Rentals provided a 60-foot lift to allow painters to reach the building’s high peaks. Einstein Bagels donated breakfast, and Chipotle, lunch, for 100 volunteers from Neubert Painting, Sherwin-Williams and Providence House. “It was truly a community effort,” John Neubert, owner of Neubert Painting said, “I was really moved by how hard our volunteers worked on this large project.” As a very special touch to commemorate the completed project, William Mannion, a watercolor artist from Bay Village, created a watercolor rendering  of the newly painted Providence House. This framed “housetrait,” as Mannion describes them, was presented to Providence House as part of the Neubert Painting giveaway. This accomplished artist has graciously volunteered his talents once again this year and will paint a “houstrait” of this year’s $10,000 Charity Paint Giveaway recipient.

We are currently looking for deserving projects and are taking nominations for this year’s giveaway! If you know of a homeowner or nonprofit organization that is in need of a paint job but truly cannot afford it, go to our website at NeubertPainting.com to fill out our online nomination form. Nominations are due by June 1st. We will be doing the paint work on Tuesday, August 3rd, weather permitting. This year’s sponsors, once again, are Sherwin-Williams and Einstein Bagels, as well as Chic-Fil-A.
