Why people paint
Sometimes a fresh room is about the people who will fill it. Sometimes it is about caring for the house you love, or making a business feel ready to welcome customers. Here are a few good reasons to start.
A fresh look before big moments
Holidays bring guests, familiar recipes and photos around the table. A fresh wall color or neatly painted trim can help the room feel ready for everyone coming through the door.
Graduations, birthdays, weddings and receptions at home, a new baby and family reunions all give us reasons to look at our rooms with fresh eyes. Tell us your date at the estimate and we'll plan around it. Share what you hope to change and when you'd like the work done so we can discuss what is possible.
Protecting and maintaining your home's value
Paint helps protect siding, trim and wood from Minnesota weather. Looking after peeling spots and small repairs now helps keep them from becoming bigger problems later. Show us the areas you are concerned about at your estimate.

Getting ready to sell, or enjoying more curb appeal
A fresh exterior makes the welcome start at the sidewalk. Neutral rooms can help a buyer picture their own furniture, while giving you a brighter place to live today.
If you are preparing to sell, our Richfield house painting guide and St. Louis Park house painting guide discuss local point-of-sale inspections. Bring any inspection findings to the estimate so we can look at the painting needs.
Making a new house yours
The house may be new to you, but the colors still belong to someone else. Painting lets you bring your own taste into a bedroom, kitchen or favorite gathering space. Updating dated colors can make a familiar home feel like yours all over again.
Our interior wall preparation guide explains where a fresh finish begins.
Everyday wear, and rooms you love using
Scuffs, kids and pets leave their marks. Cabinets that have seen better days can make a kitchen feel tired even when the layout still works. A thoughtful refresh gives those everyday spaces a little pride again.

After a repair or remodel
A patched wall or a remodeled room can leave new surfaces beside older finishes. Painting brings the room together so your eye sees the space you wanted, rather than the edges of the repair. Show us the new and existing surfaces together.
For businesses, a space customers notice
Clean walls and a cared-for floor help a business feel welcoming. A reopening or grand opening is a natural time to think about the impression customers will take away.
Our St. Paul retail epoxy floor is one example of floor coatings; our deck projects show another way a finish can refresh a well-used surface. Tell us how you use your space and any date you have in mind at the estimate.
A few questions before you start
Is the estimate free?
Yes. Book a free estimate at your property so we can look at the surfaces and answer your questions.
Can we talk about cabinets and walls together?
Yes. Tell us which surfaces you want included. Cabinet doors, frames, walls and trim can be broken out so you can choose your scope.
What should I tell you if I have an event coming up?
Share your event date at the estimate. We’ll discuss the surfaces, the changes you want and what is possible.
