Our painters scrape, sand, patch, caulk, and prime before any topcoat goes on, which prevents peeling and blistering down the road.

- Color consultation at no charge.
We help you select shades from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore fan decks that complement your lighting and architecture.

Every painter on our team carries full coverage, passes background checks, and trains on EPA lead-safe practices for homes built before 1978.
Why Choose Our Painting Contractors
Painting contractors from Home Drywall & Painting deliver results that hold up for years, not months in St. Paul. We’ve built our reputation on straight talk, tidy job sites, and finishes that look sharp under any light.
Our painters average more than a decade in the trade. They know how to cut clean lines along ceilings, back-roll sprayed siding for better adhesion, and feather patches so repairs disappear under the topcoat. That experience shows in every brushstroke.
We put everything in writing. Your estimate spells out surface prep, primer type, paint brand, sheen, and coat count, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No vague line items. No surprise charges when the job wraps up.
Home Drywall & Painting holds full licensing and carries general liability plus workers’ compensation insurance. We’re EPA Lead-Safe Certified, and our crews follow strict containment protocols on older homes.
Our guarantees back the work. We warranty labor on interior projects and exterior repaints, and we return to fix any defect covered under the agreement at no cost to you.
You get one dedicated project manager from estimate through final walkthrough. Call with a question, and a real person answers.
Signs You Need Painting Contractors
Painting contractors solve problems that go beyond faded color. Watch for these five warning signs around your property:
Peeling, cracking, or alligatoring paint
When exterior coatings lift from siding or trim, moisture reaches the substrate underneath. Alligatoring — that pattern of interlocking cracks resembling reptile skin — signals a failed bond between paint layers. Professional painters strip the failed coating, spot-prime bare wood, and apply fresh topcoats that seal out water.
Chalking on siding
Run your hand across the exterior. If a powdery residue coats your palm, the paint binder has degraded from UV exposure. Chalking means the film no longer protects your siding, and a repaint with quality 100% acrylic paint restores that barrier.
Water stains and drywall damage
Brown rings on ceilings, bubbling paint near windows, or soft spots in wallboard point to moisture intrusion. Our team repairs the drywall, applies stain-blocking primer, and repaints so the damage never bleeds through.
Wood rot and failed caulk
Gaps in caulk joints around windows, doors, and fascia boards let water penetrate. Skilled painting contractors dig out rotted sections, apply wood hardener or replace boards, recaulk every joint, and prime before painting.
Preparing to sell or refresh
Real estate agents consistently rank fresh paint among the highest-return improvements before listing. Neutral interior colors and a crisp exterior repaint raise curb appeal and photograph well. If your walls show scuffs, dated colors, or staining, a professional repaint pays for itself at closing.
Our Painting Contractors Process
A structured process that keeps projects on schedule and on budget.
Free on-site estimate
A project manager inspects your surfaces, measures square footage, notes repairs, and delivers a written quote within 48 hours.
Color and product selection
We guide you through sheen options, from flat ceilings to semi-gloss trim, and provide sample swatches so you can view colors in your own lighting.
Surface preparation
Crews cover floors and furniture, mask fixtures, wash exterior surfaces, scrape loose paint, sand glossy areas, patch holes, caulk gaps, and prime bare or stained spots.
Paint application
Painters apply two coats using brushes, rollers, or airless sprayers depending on the surface. We maintain wet edges to avoid lap marks and back-roll sprayed areas for uniform coverage.
Inspection and touch-ups
Your project manager walks the job with you, marks any misses with tape, and corrects them on the spot.
Cleanup and final walkthrough
We remove all masking, haul away debris, replace outlet covers, and leave your space cleaner than we found it. You sign off only when you’re satisfied.

- Sherwin-WilliamsDuration and Emerald lines for exteriors
- Benjamin MooreRegal Select and Aura for interiors
- PPG PaintsManor Hall and Timeless coatings
- Behr ProDynasty and Marquee for value projects

On pre-1978 homes, our EPA Lead-Safe Certified crews contain dust, wear proper respirators, and dispose of debris according to federal regulations.

Junior and his crew were great to work with on our office redesign. They got us our estimate same day and gave a great price. The hardworking crew got the job done faster than I expected, and it also came out perfectly. We will be using him and his team again in the future.
I hired Home Drywall and Painting to finish my three-car garage starting from bare studs, and they did an outstanding job. They handled insulation, full sheetrock installation, mudding and taping, and painting — all in-house. What normally would take multiple contractors was completed by one company, which made the process smooth and efficient.
After my first contractor jerked me around for 2 weeks with excuses, the team at Home Drywall & Painting became my Plan B. Jessica took my call, sent me a proposal and had me booked next day. Adam had his team dispatched and they finished in about 3.5 hours. They had one hiccup during install, but they resolved the issue and made it right. Everyone was respectful and polite. The end price was exactly what I was quoted. Happy to recommend.
They were very respectful of our home and our schedule, did an absolutely beautiful job — and communicated daily about what to expect. A plumbing water damage mishap to our finished lower level meant repairing the entire ceiling: skim, sand, re-texture, paint — plus removal and reinstallation of ceiling fans, a chandelier, can lights, speakers and vents. Gerid and the Home Drywall team also offered a very competitive price.
Recent Projects
St. Paul — Common Questions
Can you handle a multi-color Victorian scheme?
Yes — body, trim and accent schemes are planned with you up front, and our color consultation is included in the project.
Do you paint in St. Paul’s historic districts?
We do — and where district guidelines apply to exterior colors or materials, we work within them and document what your review may require.
What do painting contractors actually do?
Painting contractors prepare, prime, and coat interior and exterior surfaces. The scope covers drywall repair, caulking, sanding, staining, and applying paint by brush, roller, or sprayer.
When should I schedule an exterior repaint?
Late spring through early fall works best in Minnesota. Exterior paint cures properly between 50°F and 85°F with low humidity, so we schedule around temperature and rain forecasts.
Why hire professional painters instead of doing it myself?
Professionals finish faster, prep more thoroughly, and carry insurance if anything goes wrong. A qualified crew completes in three days what takes most homeowners three weekends, and the finish lasts longer because the prep work gets done right.
Can painting contractors fix drywall damage before painting?
Yes. Home Drywall & Painting started as a drywall company, so we patch holes, retape seams, match textures, and skim coat walls before any paint goes on.
How long does a typical paint job take?
Most interior rooms take one to two days. Whole-home interiors run three to five days, and exterior repaints finish in four to seven days depending on size and weather.
