Our charity project is a reflection of my own
values as the owner of Neubert Painting. My
values went through a major change 10 years
ago when I was diagnosed with testicular
cancer. Surviving cancer often forces you to
reflect on what is important in life and what
values we want to instill in the younger
generation. The value of our charity project
cannot be measured in dollars. It can be
measured in the fabulous feeling of helping
those in need. Cynics may look at our project
as a means to provide positive publicity for
our company. They have the right to have this view and we certainly welcome positive publicity.
However, the reason we do our charity projects
is more personal and has everything to do with
a personal need to give back. We do our projects because we value how important our service
to others is. I believe that we have an obligation to give back to people who are less fortunate. We
truly are a company run by young people
dedicated to serving others.
Winter has said its final good-bye, and the long awaited Spring has arrived. The birds are chirping, and the flowers start blooming. Just as nature reveals its beauty, take the opportunity to transform the interior of your home simply by enhancing the color palette of your walls.
Inspired by these lovely blue flowers, Sherwin Williams Raindrop (#6485) is the perfect color to bring your walls back to life. This crisp, yet soothing color will provide the relaxation you deserve as it welcomes you home from even the most hectic days. To achieve a defined, polished look, apply Raindrop to all walls, and pair it with a light beige color for any trim work, and a traditional white for the ceiling.
William Mannion Watercolor
William Mannion, a Watercolorist from Bay Village, joined forces with our company in our second annual charity painting project. Wow, what an incredible artist, and what a great couple he and his wife Pauline are. When we spoke with him about our project, he enthusiastically volunteered his services as well. William is an accomplished watercolorist, and he did an incredible job painting The Providence House, winner of our 2nd Giveaway. On Tuesday, August 2nd, The Providence House in Ohio City got painted twice! Once by Neubert Painting, and once by William Mannion!

Chuck Yarborough is a great volunteer. We contacted Chuck in May 2009 to ask if he would paint with us on our 2009 Charity Paint Giveaway. He writes an article about dirty jobs in The Cleveland Plain Dealer. He E-Mailed us back to say that he was interested. We were thrilled. We are proud of our charity work and hoped it would give us a little publicity.
We contacted Chuck again in July and told him that we would be painting Providence house on August 5th. Providence House is a crisis nursery in Ohio city. He confirmed that he would be there. On the morning of August 5th, Chuck arrived early to help. The cynic in me thought that Chuck would work for an hour, take a few pictures and leave. That was not the case. Chuck worked hard all day. He painted rails, siding and even worked on an aerial lift doing dormers. He was a hardworker and genuine nice guy to be around.
Chuck wrote a fantastic article about how this project connected him with his father. You can read his article and look at pictures by googling Neubert Painting. We also have pictures and videos of our project on our web site.
He sent back an E-mail to us after the project was completed. Chuck loved working with us and offered to do it again. No newspaper article this time.
We are going to iinvite Chuck back again next year. We hope that he can work with us one more time. No newspaper article is needed. That is not why we do charity work. Thanks Chuck! By: John Neubert 10-23-09
Oil-base paints have been removed from the Ohio market effective January 1st, 2009. They are being phased out due to the solvents in these products. Here are the facts:
∙ Oil-base paint products sold in stores must be manufactured before January 1st, 2009. There is some limited inventory still available.
∙ Oil-base paint manufactured prior to January 1st, 2009 may legally be used for the next 3 years.
∙Quarts of oil-base paint will available for at least the next 3 years for touch-ups(expect to pay $20-25 per quart).
The removal of these products will not affect you adversely for exterior painting. The quality of exterior water-base painting products is excellent. The problem lies with interior trim enamels. Oil-base enamels still outlast and outperform water-base trim paints.
We have prepared for this by buying 350 gallons of Sherwin-Williams Pro-Classic satin Interior oil/Alkyd enamel. We hope this will be enough supply to tide us over for the next 3 years. In the meantime, we will be evaluating the water-base replacement products.
Neubert Painting has partnered with Sts. Cyril and Methodius, a Parish within our community. As part of our desire to give back to the community, we have committed to help maintain the interior of this school, which has helped low-income families receive a quality education for years.
This past August, we were able to serve them again, painting and beautifying their campus, as we have many times in the past.
We feel it’s so important for those of us who have been given so much to give back to others. We are thankful for the ability to bless those in need.
Many homeowners buy interior paints at home centers, and some of these paints happen to be rated highly by Consumer Reports. There is one problem however. They do not cover well and therefore take more time to cover correctly.
We recently conducted an informal survey of contractors at a painting and decorating contractor roundtable. All of the contractors at this roundtable reported having problems with interior paints bought at home centers. Most reported problems with paint coverage.
Here’s what we use:
∙ Premium Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams products are excellent. We mainly use premium Sherwin-Williams Duration Home interior paints. These paints are the highest quality on the market. They have unmatched durability, scrub resistance, are easy to apply, and deep colors usually cover easily in two coats.
Neubert painting has been awarded with it’s fifth Super Service Award for 2008!
