Lakewood roots · Since 2002
The person, principles, and proof behind Allure Painting.
Michael Guinther leads Allure Painting from Lakewood, serving residential and commercial interior and exterior painting needs across Cuyahoga County and the western edge of Greater Cleveland.
A steady local company
Built from painting experience, based in Lakewood.
Allure Painting began in 2002 after Michael Guinther had worked for other painting contractors. The business has one public Lakewood address and a clearly defined core: residential and commercial interior and exterior painting, supported by related repair, refinishing, and staining services.
More than two decades later, the company remains focused on careful preparation, clear project conversations, and finish quality that respects the property.
Owner leadership
Michael Guinther, Owner
Michael Guinther has led Allure Painting since the company began in 2002. His leadership connects the company's Lakewood roots with the residential and commercial work customers see today.
Customer communication is treated as part of project quality: discuss the surfaces, condition, access, priorities, and finish direction first; define the individual scope; then review the work against what was agreed. Exact timing and operating details remain project-specific.

Quality Comes First
Finish quality begins before the finish coat.
Allure's long-standing value statement begins with condition-led preparation, clear project decisions, and attention to the surfaces that carry the final finish.
Separate repair from finish
A finish cannot resolve every damaged or moving surface. Allure's service guidance identifies when a repair question or another specialist should come first.
Keep decisions visible
Color, sheen, access, protection, preparation, and the areas included should be discussed for the individual project instead of assumed from a generic package.
Review the agreed work
The estimate path is built around a clear project conversation and a final review of the work that was actually included.
Residential & commercial
A focused painting company with related surface capability.
Allure's core is residential and commercial interior and exterior painting. Related services include aluminum and vinyl siding refinishing, plaster and drywall repair, ceiling repair and texturing, skim coating, and deck and fence staining.
Based at 1441 Wagar Avenue in Lakewood, the company serves communities throughout Cuyahoga County and extends west through Avon, Avon Lake, North Ridgeville, Sheffield Village, and Sheffield Lake.
