Just a quick note to let you know how pleased my husband and I are with the work CTCPP did on the exterior of our house. Lewis, the owner, was fantastic to work with and a great, clear, communicator. I was also impressed by his crew, their DAILY clean up of the area, and of course the finished product looks amazing. No, they didn’t pay me to say that :) Just thought I’d pass along the info.

About the owner, Lewis Johnson
Lewis has worked in the construction and painting industry since 1995. While attending college in his hometown of Media, Pennsylvania, he began working for a custom home builder, gaining early, hands-on experience in high-end residential construction and the craftsmanship required to deliver a flawless finished product.
He later joined Elias & Associates, a remodeling contractor, where he expanded his skill set in framing, electrical, insulation, and drywall. Experiencing each phase of a project from start to finish sparked his passion for painting and fine finishing—ultimately leading him to pursue painting as his full-time profession.
Lewis continued refining his craft at Kyle Painting in Media under the mentorship of owner Ed Kyle, where he developed a deep respect for professionalism, precision, and old-school craftsmanship while working alongside seasoned painters.
In 1999, Lewis relocated to Seattle and broadened his experience with respected companies including Ken Ritland Custom Painting and Pinnacle Painting, completing projects in neighborhoods such as Madrona, Queen Anne, Magnolia, Capitol Hill, Madison Park, and Green Lake. He also graduated from painting school at the Construction Industry Training Council (CITC) in Bellevue, earning top marks and a “Goes Beyond” commendation.
With decades of hands-on experience, Lewis brings comprehensive expertise to every project—from planning and estimating to preparation, execution, and final detail work. His background spans woodworking, staining, finishing, stripping, job coordination, and project management. Above all, he is a seasoned craftsman committed to quality and professionalism at every stage.
