About Queen City Surface Coatings

Serving the Cincinnati tri-state area with professional concrete coating solutions built on military precision and family values.

Military Precision Meets Technical Expertise

Queen City Surface Coatings represents the perfect fusion of military discipline and concrete coating mastery. Founded in 2025 by Marine Corps veteran John Leonard, our company brings the same precision and attention to detail that was essential in combat zones to every concrete coating project throughout the Cincinnati tri-state area.

After serving his country with honor through two combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, John returned to Cincinnati with a mission: to build something meaningful for his community and family. With over 10 years in the construction industry and the discipline learned through military service, Queen City Surface Coatings represents more than just another contractor—we're your neighbors, committed to transforming spaces with military-grade standards and craftsmanship excellence.

Marine Infantry to Construction

John Leonard, Marine Corps Veteran and Founder of Queen City Surface Coatings

As a Marine Corps Infantry Machine Gunner, John Leonard learned that attention to detail isn't just important—it's a matter of life and death. That same unwavering commitment to precision drives every aspect of Queen City Surface Coatings today.

Whether maintaining weapons systems in combat zones or leading fellow Marines through challenging missions, there was never room for "good enough." This military-forged discipline now ensures that every surface preparation, every coating application, and every finishing detail meets the highest possible standards.

The transition from military service to concrete coating specialist wasn't just a career change—it was a continuation of the same commitment to excellence, reliability, and precision that defines military service.

Why Military Training Matters for Your Project

Military service instills qualities that directly translate to superior concrete coating work:

Precision Execution: The same attention to detail that kept fellow Marines safe now ensures your coating application meets exacting standards, with every edge, corner, and surface receiving precise treatment.

Mission Completion: Marines don't abandon missions, and we don't abandon projects. Every job receives full commitment from start to final inspection, with clear communication throughout the process.
