Services we offer

Cabinet Painting & Refinishing – Factory-smooth, spray-finish upgrades that make kitchens look showroom-new without the remodel price tag. Deck & Fence Staining / Wood Defender Treatments – Deep-penetrating oils and semi-transparent finishes that protect Iowa lumber from harsh Midwest weather. Epoxy & Polyaspartic Floor Coatings – High-build, chemical-resistant garage and shop floors installed in as little as one day. Wallpaper Removal & Texture Repair – Steam, strip, skim-coat, and match any texture for a perfectly paint-ready surface. Fine-Finish Spraying (HVLP & Airless) – Mirror-smooth doors, trim, and built-ins with minimal overspray and razor-sharp lines. Drywall Patching – Nail-pop fixes, corner-bead repairs, and shoe molding staining for a seamless finish. Specialty & Protective Coatings – DTM, elastomeric, anti-graffiti, and low-VOC formulations for commercial, industrial, and HOA specifications. If it involves color, protection, or beautifying a surface, chances are Midwest Paint has the know-how, tools, and enthusiasm to make it happen! 🎨

Services we don't offer

A Quick “We-Don’t-Do” List (so you know exactly what to expect) 🎨🚫 Hazardous remediation – We’ll happily paint once surfaces are safe, but we don’t remove lead paint, asbestos, or mold (we’ll refer you to certified specialists). Major drywall/framing installs – We patch, skim, and perfect surfaces, but we don’t hang full sheets or build new walls. Big-ticket carpentry & construction – Door/window replacements, deck-board rebuilds, and roofing or gutter work are handled by dedicated trades. Full remodel trades – No plumbing, electrical, tile, or HVAC—paint and protective coatings are our lane. Industrial blasting & confined-space tank coatings – We stick to standard commercial/residential protective systems. Specialty artistic finishes – Murals, Venetian plaster, or gold leaf aren’t in-house (but we’ll gladly connect you with an artist). Extreme-temperature exterior painting – If temps drop below manufacturer specs (≈ 35-40 °F), we pause rather than compromise quality. Food-plant/24-hour shutdown epoxy floors – Those require niche crews and overnight shifts beyond our current lineup. If you’re unsure whether a task fits, just ask! If we don’t do it, we likely know a trusted pro who does. 🙌

Midwest Paint did an excellent job repainting our master bedroom suite. Ben explained everything that needed to be accomplished and provided a thorough and competitive bid. He and his crew arrived on time, took extra care to make sure everything was covered and protected. The job was finished ahead of schedule and was very professionally done. When we have other projects will will not hesitate to call on Midwest Paint!

The experience is okay, just okay.

consider to put things back the way they found them, I would have been happy and there was like on these doors that they painted they took the hardware off, put the back on I had brand new hardware on these doors and they were damaged so when they went to reconnect them to the doors so I was really happy about that it's hundreds of dollars on hardware that was damaged so scratched some of it been off put them back on so I wasn't very happy with that. Their painting though I would say it was above average.

The reason I would recommend them because we got in right away had everything done that day like they said everything was done in a timely manner has they said it would be overall their workmanship was overall I would say it was pretty good, like I said I don't know if I would recommend them or not because I wasn't really happy with the hardware being damaged. Just one painting services yes  I would recommend them on the their re installation of things I would say no.

Ben and his team did an awesome job under an intense deadline. We can't recommend them highly enough. Not only did Ben come out last minute to assist us, he even fielded a call from us during a holiday weekend and added us into his schedule that Monday.

In short, they really did save the day and kept our project on schedule.
