Recent House Painting Reviews in Cottage Grove
- Jamie Dorsey Painting LLCJamie was great! He was professional and knew just how to paint the exterior of my home to make it look almost new. He wasn't the least expensive, but you get what you pay for!
- May PaintingScott was dependable and followed thru with everything in his proposal. We are very pleased with his excellent painting!
- Highrollers Painting, IncExcellent. A two person crew that did all sanding, scrapping and painting by hand with my window trim and soffit. I could not even tell they had bee there with clean up!
- Long Hous ConstructionEverything was beyond my expectations. Any questions or concerns were ran past me before making decisions yet, gave his professional opinion on what would work and not work. What would look good or not. And explained why he thought that, which helped me understand more than i bargained for. It made the experience fun and more enjoyable having someone knowledgeable include me in their thought process. Being As I am a complicated person and very picky, I had to put faith into this knowing it would be beautiful and trust the opinion of the person I hired and respect that they included me in MY process also. I explained my vision, colors and thoughts and he worked with me until it was right. Very pleased with the outcome. Highly recommended
- HandyVoy.LLCHe did a great job and worked very hard! He saved our roof rafters in our attic and created a new opening in the hallway ceiling. He carefully caulked all of our exterior windows and doors, washed & painted the exterior, installed a new gutter and drain pipe, just to name a few items... Very flexible in working with me on decisions as to what repairs were needed inside and outside of the house. Very relational and friendly. Really cares about his work
- Craftsman's Choice IncIt was excellent. The worker were punctial, courteous, and worked long hours to get the job done. They also cleaned up everything to perfection. The work was excellent and I recommend them highly
- Craftsman's Choice IncWonderful! Best value in construction I’ve ever seen. Professionalism from owner Ben down to Contractors were A+. Our house is now the best looking house on the block thanks to Craftsman’s Choice.
- Craftsman's Choice IncWe are so pleased with our recent garage siding and exterior home painting project completed on our 1947 cape cod in St. Louis Park. From our first interaction with Keith at the State Fair, to our final walk-through with Ben, we knew we were dealing with professionals who had our best interest and satisfaction set as priorities (thank you to Ryan, Cyndal and the rest of the team also!). They gave us a fair price from the beginning without a long, dragged out sales pitch and promised quality and attentiveness, which they delivered on every step of the way. It's now such a joy to come home to our beautiful house each day! We are very happy we chose Craftsman's Choice and we highly recommend their services. There are many options out there, so we are thankful to have finally found a first choice for our home improvement needs
- Craftsman's Choice IncA+++++!!! The entire crew from sales to construction was top notch. Every business should follow Craftman's business and service strategy. They were on time, very professional, competitively priced and cared about their quality of work. They were unbelievably impressive and I would strongly encourage you to give them an opportunity to bid on your job. We will definitely call them for our next job
- Craftsman's Choice IncWe received three bids for contractors to re-side our house with fiber cement siding, and decided on Craftsman's Choice - the middle bid - as they seemed to have the best balance of professionalism/experience and price. I was also intrigued to see, in the sales presentation, how they could put a "creative" touch on the house by adding custom features such as shutters and gable pieces. I wanted that done for our house, and they ended up including those features for free in the quote. They also gave us quotes for either replacing our soffits/fascia with Hardie material, or covering them with aluminum, but told us that our existing wood soffits/fascia were in good shape and did not need to be replaced - so we opted to paint them instead. Craftsman's Choice asked for a quarter of the payment when the contract was signed, a quarter when the project was started, and the balance upon completion of the siding installation, which seemed reasonable. They started work about two weeks after the initial signing of the contract. We had a minor problem when they delivered the materials to our driveway the Friday before they started work. I had noticed that there was a rip in the bag that covered the siding, and strong thunderstorms were predicted that weekend. I had read that fiber cement siding could have problems if it got wet before installation, so my husband called and they said they would send someone over to throw a tarp over the materials. They did, but the tarp was ripped and not secured, so the top few pieces of siding got wet from the rain that weekend. When they started work on Monday, we talked to the owner, who said that wet siding that had been let out to dry was acceptable per manufacturer's instructions, and shouldn't affect our warranty. But they would be willing to discard the wet pieces if we wanted. The crew came out to install the siding for the entire work day, every weekday (except for one rainy day) until it was completed a week and a half later. In the meantime, the plumber came and replaced our exterior faucets. The Friday of the first week of work, they had finished the work by the air conditioner and turned it back on before they left. The air conditioner did not function all weekend, and we couldn't figure out why. The following Monday, they sent an A/C repairman over to look at it. He found out a fuse (?) in the A/C unit had been tripped during the work, and flipped it back, which caused the A/C to resume function. Craftsman's Choice covered the cost of having the A/C repairman come over. There was a couple week lag between the completion of the siding installation and the arrival of the painting crew. Before the painters came over, a representative walked with us around the house and made notes about what we wanted painted what color. The painters, by default, go over all of the pre-painted Hardie trim just to make sure any nail heads, etc get covered - so you can elect to have trim kept the trim color or painted to match the house. After the painting crew was finished, we had a final walk-through to sign off on the project and have any minor problems corrected. We didn't find any, but the representative who walked around with us found a few minor things to improve. On one of the final walk-throughs, we went up on our roof and found a place by the chimney where the shingles had failed. We hired one of the Craftsman's Choice workers to repair the damage, using some spare shingles from our garage. Our siding looks great, and has held up well the first year after installation. A portion of the rear side of our house had a very large mound of snow pressed up against it for most of the winter, but there was no noticeable damage to the siding in that area. We had one problem near our front door where a gutter leaked and dripped ice down the side of our house, right over a seam between two pieces of siding. The water froze and expanded, swelling the ends of those two pieces. Once we noticed the problem, called Craftsman's Choice and told them about it, and they came out a week later and replaced both of those siding pieces under warranty. Overall, I was pleased with the quality of work and attention to detail from Craftsman's Choice. I would not hesitate to recommend them or hire them again in the future. We did encounter a few problems, as described in my review, but they were all resolved easily, a testament to their focus on customer service

Knowing the cost of exterior house painting
When you look at the average, individuals pay about $3,000 for exterior house painting jobs. But keep in mind that prices can range widely depending on factors that may include how much the contractor must do before painting can begin and what kind of paint you want used on your home. How much exterior surface requires paint is an important factor in price. Clients pay $0.75 to $2 per square foot for average exterior house painting jobs.
Here are some details that might drive up the price of your exterior house painting work:
- The home’s location. Painting work in locations such as the West Coast tends to be more expensive than painting work in other areas.
- How big the house is. If a home is big, has multiple stories, or is a complex structure that may require tedious finish work, the average cost can run around $6,000.
- Types of materials on exterior home surfaces. Some types of surfaces are often harder to paint than others or may require additional paint. For example, it might cost $3,000 to $10,000 for an exterior paint project involving painting over brick. Materials such as wood and metal often lead to lower overall prices.
Questions to ask potential exterior home painting contractors
When you begin evaluating an exterior paint service, make sure you ask numerous questions. Find out how long the pro has worked with clients who want their homes painted and what kinds of house painting jobs they’ve done.
Ask about details, like what paint brand they turn to most, as well as whether the professionals who work for the business have experience with exterior surfaces similar to your home’s. Ask whether the professional offers guarantees for the painting it does, and get it in writing.
Any business that appears hesitant to write up a contract, including an estimate or quote or specifics about services, is probably not the optimal option most of the time. Professional exterior paint businesses in Cottage Grove work to protect their clients and ensure all the details are understood. That always includes having a written contract.
