Minneapolis Painters Who Prioritize Thorough Prep Work
Minneapolis has some of the oldest housing stock in the metro, with plaster walls in Linden Hills bungalows, original trim in Kenwood colonials, and lap siding near Lake Harriet that's carried decades of paint over the years. Because of this long history, proper prep work has a greater impact on the final result than the paint itself.
We've been sanding, patching, and priming these homes for over 20 years, scraping what needs scraping and priming bare wood before a topcoat goes on. Each job starts with what the surface needs, not a standard checklist, and we determine the prep, primer, and finish from there. We're licensed and insured, PCA Accredited, and every finished job carries our 100% guarantee.
Interior, Exterior, and Everything Between
Between homeowners refreshing a kitchen or repainting a whole interior and Minneapolis businesses juggling a schedule that can't be interrupted, we split our work evenly. As a homeowner, you can expect anything from a single accent wall to a full exterior repaint on a three-story Tudor. On the commercial side, we cover office interiors, retail buildouts, and multi-unit properties, coordinating access with property managers and tenants directly.
Interior Painting
From a simple space refresh to a full home transformation, our team paints walls, ceilings, trim, and doors with precision throughout your space. Full floor protection, furniture relocation, and daily cleanups are all part of our process. Plus, our standard low-VOC paint option lets you skip the harsh fumes, keeping your home comfortable for kids and pets.

Exterior Painting
Minneapolis winters are hard on exterior paint, and a rushed job eventually shows it within a few years. We power wash, scrape loose paint, sand rough spots, and prime bare wood before the topcoat goes on siding, trim, or fascia. Our paint handles Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles and humid summers.

Wood Staining
Different wood types and varying levels of sun or moisture exposure affect how decks, fences, trim, and cabinetry absorb stain. To guarantee a long-lasting finish that resists peeling and graying over time, we choose stains tailored to the wood surface and environmental conditions rather than relying on a color sample.
Staining Services Include:
-
Interior trim & molding staining
-
Exterior wood staining
-
Deck & fence refinishing
-
Varnish & sealant application
-
Sanding & surface preparation

Interior Enameling
Original trim in a Kenwood colonial or a Linden Hills bungalow gets a different treatment than the standard interior paint used on walls. Enamel cures harder and holds up to daily handling on cabinets, doors, and window casings, so it's worth the extra prep on woodwork that's original to the house.
Enameling Services Include:
-
Cabinet enameling
-
Door & trim enameling
-
Window frames
-
Surface preparation & priming
-
Custom color selection
-
Durable, high-gloss finishes
Wallpaper Removal
Older Minneapolis homes often have wallpaper going back decades, sometimes over plaster that's more fragile than drywall. We strip it slowly enough not to gouge the wall underneath, patch what the adhesive took with it, and prime so the surface holds paint instead of showing through.
Wallpaper Services Include:
-
Full wallpaper removal
-
Surface cleaning & priming
-
Glue residue removal
-
Wall patching & repair
-
Primer application
-
Final paint finish

Minneapolis Painting FAQs
For interiors, we use low-VOC paint, which keeps odor and off-gassing down without sacrificing durability. Exteriors get paint rated for Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles, since anything less starts cracking and peeling within a couple of winters.
