What our customers say
Don't go anywhere else, this is THE BEST!!!!!!!
Cicero is a lake town, and that changes everything about painting a house here. Homes around Morse Reservoir take more sun, more wind off the open water, and more weathering than a sheltered house a few miles inland. The paint that looks fine on a protected lot in town can chalk and fade fast on a west-facing wall staring out over the water.
We are Heritage Painting, based just up the road in Tipton, and we paint a lot of homes around Cicero and the north end of Hamilton County. We are a residential painting company first, and we focus on four things: exterior painting, interior painting, kitchen cabinets, and commercial work. On every one of them we do the slow part first. Prep. It is the part nobody sees, and on a lake home it matters more, not less.
Why we serve Cicero
Cicero sits practically next door to us. From Tipton it is a short drive east, so we know this area and we are here in person, not dispatching a crew up from the city who has never seen the lake.
We also understand what Morse Reservoir does to a house. Ever notice how the lake side of a home always weathers first? That is constant sun and wind off the water, and it is hard on a finish. We have seen plenty of lake homes where someone painted the cheap way and it failed in a couple of seasons. The fix is not fancier paint alone. It is real prep plus a coating rated for that exposure. We do both.
Exterior painting in Cicero
This is our flagship work, and on a Cicero lake home it is the work that matters most. Wood siding, fiber cement, brick, and the lakefront elevations that take the worst of the weather.
Here is an honest opinion. Prep is most of the job, and on a sun-and-wind-beaten exterior, skipping it is throwing money away. We power wash the surface clean first, scrape and sand the failing areas, prime bare wood, and then paint with top-tier products from Sherwin Williams, PPG, and Benjamin Moore, matched to the surface and to that hard lakefront exposure.
Before we paint a thing, we give you two free virtual renderings so you can see the color on your actual house first. For a lake home where the exterior is the whole look, that matters. And if your siding is just dirty and dull rather than failing, we will tell you honestly, because sometimes a wash and a sound coat is all it needs.
Interior painting in Cicero
Inside, we handle full homes and the seasonal places common around the reservoir. Living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, trim, and ceilings.
We move and cover your furniture, protect your floors, and keep a clean site every single day. We patch the cracks, dings, and nail pops first, so the finished wall reads smooth instead of showing every flaw under fresh paint. You get a real schedule before we start, not a vague “we will get to it.”
Stuck on color? You are not on your own. Every Heritage project includes a free consultation with our in-house color consultant, Emily King, who holds a degree in interior design. She helps you land on a color that works in your room and your light before a single wall gets painted.
Kitchen cabinet painting in Cicero
This is one we feel strongly about. For most Cicero kitchens, painting your cabinets is the smarter money.
New cabinets run fifteen to thirty-five thousand dollars once you count installation. Painting your existing cabinets with us usually runs between $4,200 and $5,800. Same kitchen footprint, brand-new look, a fraction of the cost.
How do we get a finish that actually holds up on cabinets? We do not brush and roll them in your kitchen. We take the doors and drawer fronts offsite and spray them with a KCMA-certified cabinet system, the same standard cabinet manufacturers use. Each surface is sanded, cleaned, and sprayed, and each step is done three times. A typical kitchen is 120 to 150 hours of work over three to five days. The result is smooth, hard, and even, with none of the brush marks a rushed job leaves behind. We can paint over laminate too.
House Painting
Commercial painting in Cicero
We are not only a home painter. We handle commercial work across the north end of the county: offices, retail and storefronts, warehouses, medical facilities, and shopping centers.
A business cannot shut down for a paint crew, so we work around you. We offer after-hours and weekend scheduling, custom maintenance plans, and the coordination to handle several buildings on one plan. You get a dedicated project manager and weekly progress updates, so the job never goes quiet on you.

Frequently asked questions
Do you paint lake homes around Morse Reservoir?
Yes, that is a lot of our Cicero work. Lakefront exteriors take harder sun and wind, so we prep thoroughly and use coatings rated for that exposure. It is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that fails in a season.
When is the best time to paint an exterior here?
Late spring through early fall, when the temperature and humidity cooperate. If conditions are wrong to start, we will tell you straight rather than rush a coat that will not cure right.
How much does it cost to paint kitchen cabinets?
For most kitchens we paint, it runs between $4,200 and $5,800, compared to fifteen to thirty-five thousand dollars for full replacement. We give you an exact, itemized price after we see your kitchen.
Do you help with color choices?
Yes, and it is free. Our in-house color consultant works with you on color, and for exteriors we provide two free virtual renderings so you can see it on your home first.
