Professional House Painting in Bloomington, MN
Bloomington has some of the oldest housing stock in our service area. Split-levels and ramblers from the 1950s through the 1970s are everywhere, and they reward thorough prep more than almost any other type of home.
Painting and remodeling in Bloomington
Older Bloomington homes often have original plaster or heavily patched drywall, multiple layers of paint on trim, and windows and doors that have been adjusted over decades. That history matters. Paint applied over failing caulk or an unprepared surface will peel again within a few seasons, which is why we spend the estimate looking at surfaces rather than just counting rooms. We are also careful about lead paint in homes built before 1978 and will flag it rather than paint over a known hazard.

Questions from Bloomington homeowners
My home was built in the 1960s. Does lead paint matter?
It can. Homes built before 1978 may contain lead paint, especially on trim and doors. We flag it during the estimate and discuss appropriate handling rather than sanding it blindly.
Can you fix cracked plaster?
In many cases patching and skim work can restore plaster, though some situations call for drywall repair. We assess it during the estimate and price accordingly.
Do you paint on multiple layers of old trim paint?
Yes, provided the existing coating is sound. Where it is not, we discuss removal, sanding or replacement before painting.
