The pros we work with serve every neighborhood in St. Paul, from Highland Park to the West 7th area. They begin with a thorough inspection, identifying peeling paint, rot, or mildew. Power washing is a critical first step to remove dirt and chalking. This is followed by scraping loose paint, sanding rough areas, and caulking any gaps. A high-quality primer is then applied to ensure proper adhesion, especially important for Minnesota's temperature fluctuations.

What affects the price

When you get a quote for exterior painting, the total depends on a few practical things. The size and height of your home are the biggest factors—a multi-story house takes more time and safety equipment. The current condition of your siding also matters; if there is significant peeling, wood rot, or mold, that area needs extra prep work before a brush ever touches it. Choosing high-end paint products or changing your color scheme entirely can also shift the final bill. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Paint is a liquid or chemical substance applied to surfaces to provide color, texture, and a protective barrier. You use it for maintenance, renovation, or simply changing the aesthetic of your living space. Choosing the right type—such as latex, oil-based, or elastomeric—depends on the surface material and exposure to the elements. Prices vary based on the quality of the pigments and resins used. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Summer offers the best conditions for drying, but extreme heat can be an issue. If it’s too hot, paint might dry too quickly, which keeps it from bonding to the surface. We often schedule painting for earlier in the day to avoid the peak afternoon sun and keep the finish looking smooth.
