Professional Exterior Painting Services in Bloomington MN

Long-Lasting Exterior Paint & Stain Services

Quality exterior painting extends beyond color selection and brush technique. Minnesota's climate demands comprehensive surface preparation, premium coating systems, and proper application timing to achieve lasting results. We begin every project with thorough surface inspection, identifying moisture issues, failed caulking, and substrate damage that compromise paint adhesion. Power washing removes contaminants and loose material without damaging siding surfaces. Wood surfaces receive spot priming on bare areas, while vinyl and fiber cement get appropriate bonding primers when needed.

Our coating systems use premium acrylic latex formulations engineered for flexibility and UV resistance in northern climates. Application timing considers temperature, humidity, and dew point to ensure proper curing. Detailed masking protects windows, doors, and landscape features. Multiple coat systems build proper film thickness for long-term protection. We address common failure points including insufficient surface preparation, inappropriate product selection, and application during marginal weather conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Exterior Remodeling can be complex, and we’re here to provide answers to common questions. Here are some frequently asked questions from our clients.

Frequently Asked Questions about exterior remodeling

Do I need permits for exterior remodeling projects in Bloomington?

Most residential exterior projects in Bloomington require permits when changing structural elements, replacing significant building components, or modifying footprint. Roofing replacement generally doesn't require permits for tear-off and replacement, though adding structural elements does. Deck construction over 200 square feet or 30 inches high requires permits including structural plans and inspections. Siding replacement typically doesn't need permits unless changing wall structure or adding insulation requiring electrical work. Window replacement in existing openings usually doesn't require permits, while enlarging or adding new openings does. Our team handles permit applications when required, providing necessary documentation and coordinating inspections. Building without required permits creates complications during home sales and potentially voids insurance coverage. We ensure all work meets current building codes regardless of permit requirements, protecting your investment and ensuring safety compliance.

How long does a typical exterior remodeling project take?

Project duration varies significantly based on scope, size, and weather conditions. Complete roof replacements typically require 1-3 days for residential homes. Full house siding installations generally take 1-2 weeks depending on home size and material complexity. Window replacement projects average 1-3 days for whole-house projects. Exterior painting requires 5-10 days including preparation, application, and drying time between coats. Custom deck construction takes 1-3 weeks from foundation to completion. Complex projects combining multiple services extend timelines accordingly. Minnesota weather significantly impacts scheduling, with winter months limiting certain exterior work. We provide realistic timelines during estimates and communicate any delays from weather or material availability. Rush scheduling sometimes available for emergency repairs though quality workmanship shouldn't be compromised for speed.

What areas around Bloomington do you serve?

We serve Bloomington and surrounding communities including Richfield, Edina, Eden Prairie, Burnsville, Eagan, Apple Valley, Lakeville, Minnetonka, Hopkins, and St. Louis Park. Our service area extends throughout the Twin Cities metro region typically within 30 miles of Bloomington. We focus on southern and western suburbs where our crews efficiently travel between projects maintaining quality service. Bloomington's central location allows us to serve most Twin Cities communities effectively. Projects outside our standard service area may be possible depending on scope and scheduling. Our local focus ensures rapid response for emergencies, efficient project management, and familiarity with local building requirements and common housing characteristics throughout the region. We maintain relationships with local suppliers ensuring material availability and supporting the regional economy.

What kind of warranty do you provide on your work?

We provide comprehensive warranty coverage protecting your investment in exterior improvements. Workmanship warranties typically span 5-10 years covering installation defects and labor issues. Material warranties vary by manufacturer and product type, with premium products offering 25-50 year coverage on siding and roofing materials. We register all products with manufacturers activating transferable warranties that benefit future homeowners. Window and door warranties typically include lifetime coverage on frames and seals with shorter terms on hardware. Our written warranties specify coverage terms, claim procedures, and maintenance requirements. We stand behind our work and address warranty issues promptly. Material failures are handled directly with manufacturers when covered under product warranties. Proper maintenance affects warranty validity, with documentation of recommended care required for some coverage. We provide maintenance guidelines with all completed projects.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept multiple payment methods including checks, credit cards, and bank transfers for your convenience. Typical payment structure includes deposit at contract signing (often 25-30% for material ordering), progress payments at project milestones, and final payment upon completion and your satisfaction. Large projects may include multiple progress payments aligned with work stages. We provide detailed payment schedules in written contracts before work begins. Credit card processing available though potentially subject to processing fees depending on transaction size. Financing options may be available through third-party lenders for qualified customers on larger projects. We require payment in full before leaving completed projects unless alternative arrangements were established in writing. Material deposits are often non-refundable once ordering begins. We provide detailed invoices documenting all work performed and materials supplied. Payment terms are clearly specified in contracts with no hidden fees or surprise charges.

Can I get a free estimate for my project?

Absolutely. We provide detailed written estimates free of charge for all exterior projects. Our estimators visit your property, assess existing conditions, discuss your goals and preferences, take measurements, and identify any underlying issues requiring attention. Estimates include comprehensive breakdowns of materials, labor, project timeline, and warranty information. We explain various material options with associated costs helping you make informed decisions within your budget. Estimates remain valid for specified periods (typically 30-60 days) though material prices occasionally require adjustment if projects delay significantly. We never pressure customers to make immediate decisions. Our detailed estimates allow meaningful comparison with other contractors. We're happy to answer questions and provide additional clarification on any estimate elements. Scheduling estimates is simple through phone or online contact, with most estimates provided within 3-5 business days of site visits. Emergency situations receive priority scheduling for assessment and estimates.

Frequently Asked Questions about Exterior Painting & Staining

When is the best time to paint house exteriors in Minnesota?

Late spring through early fall provides optimal painting conditions in Minnesota, with May through September offering the most reliable temperature and humidity. We require temperatures above 50°F with low humidity and no precipitation in the forecast for 24-48 hours after application. Morning application allows surface moisture from dew to evaporate before painting. Fall painting requires earlier completion avoiding temperature drops and extended dew periods. We monitor weather forecasts closely and adjust scheduling to ensure proper curing. Rushing painting during marginal conditions causes premature failure including poor adhesion, blistering, and inadequate film formation. Quality results require patience and proper timing.

How long should exterior paint last before repainting?

Premium acrylic latex paint on properly prepared surfaces typically lasts 7-10 years on siding and 5-7 years on trim in Minnesota's harsh climate. South and west exposures deteriorate faster from UV exposure and thermal stress. Paint longevity depends heavily on surface preparation quality, product selection, application technique, and environmental factors. Oil-based stains on wood decks require reapplication every 2-4 years depending on exposure and traffic. Signs requiring repainting include noticeable fading, chalking leaving residue when touched, cracking or alligatoring, peeling from inadequate adhesion, and bare wood exposure from complete paint failure. Proactive maintenance before extensive deterioration reduces preparation costs and delivers better long-term results.

What preparation is needed before exterior painting?

Comprehensive surface preparation determines paint longevity more than product selection. We begin with thorough power washing removing dirt, mildew, and loose material without damaging siding surfaces. Pressure settings vary by substrate with wood requiring lower pressure than vinyl. Scraping removes loose and failing paint, followed by sanding for smooth transitions. Wood surfaces receive spot priming on bare areas, while vinyl needs specialized bonding primers in some situations. We caulk gaps at trim and penetrations using paintable sealants, repair deteriorated wood components, and identify moisture issues requiring correction. Proper drying time between washing and painting prevents adhesion problems. Comprehensive preparation costs more but delivers substantially longer-lasting results than minimal prep approaches.

Can you paint vinyl siding instead of replacing it?

Vinyl siding in good structural condition accepts quality acrylic latex paint formulated specifically for vinyl surfaces, offering cost-effective appearance improvement. We thoroughly clean siding removing all contaminants, apply bonding primer designed for vinyl, and finish with premium acrylic latex in lighter colors than original siding to prevent heat absorption and warping. Painting vinyl costs substantially less than replacement while refreshing appearance. However, painted vinyl requires repainting every 7-10 years unlike unpainted vinyl needing only washing. We evaluate siding condition carefully, as vinyl with brittleness, cracking, or warping should be replaced rather than painted. Proper product selection matters critically, as standard house paint fails on vinyl from thermal movement.

5 Star rating for Bloomington Home Exteriors

After three quotes for our ice dam issues, these folks were the only ones who actually explained the thermal dynamics causing the problem rather than just selling heat cables. They upgraded our attic insulation and ventilation, and we haven't had ice dams since. Plus our heating bills dropped noticeably. The crew was professional, thorough with cleanup, and the project manager kept us informed throughout. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with Minnesota winter challenges.

Michael T., Bloomington homeowner

5 Star rating for Bloomington Home Exteriors

We needed complete exterior transformation including new siding, windows, and deck reconstruction. The estimate was detailed, explaining every component and offering options within our budget. Installation took about three weeks with minimal disruption. They found hidden moisture damage during siding removal and addressed it properly before continuing. The attention to flashing details and moisture barriers impressed us. Our home looks fantastic and we're already noticing improved comfort and lower energy costs.

5 Star rating for Bloomington Home Exteriors

Emergency roof repair after severe storm. They responded quickly with temporary protection, worked directly with our insurance, and documented everything thoroughly. The adjuster initially missed several damage areas, but their supplement documentation got those included. New roof installation was completed professionally despite weather delays. They also recommended some preventive improvements we implemented while scaffolding was up. Fair pricing, quality work, excellent communication throughout.
