"I recently purchased a new home, and like many older houses, it needed a lot of TLC. Thankfully, I found Brad and Dependable Drywall and Paint. From the moment I met Brad, I knew I was in good hands. He's not just a contractor; he's a genuine, friendly, and incredibly respectful professional who goes above and beyond. Brad's work was truly outstanding. He expertly prepped and painted the entire interior of my house, transforming it from a dated space into a bright and welcoming home. The attention to detail was impeccable, and the finish is flawless. But Brad didn't stop there. He's a true multi-talented individual. He also tackled a range of other essential tasks, including: • Plumbing Repairs: He expertly replaced my kitchen sink and shower head, and efficiently fixed a leak in my downstairs bathroom sink. Problems that would have taken me days to resolve, he handled with speed and professionalism. • Security Upgrades: He changed all the door locks, providing me with peace of mind and enhanced security. What truly sets Brad apart is his personality. He's not only amazing at what he does but also incredibly funny and easy to talk to. He made the entire renovation process enjoyable and stress-free. He kept me informed every step of the way, and his communication was excellent. Brad's work is a testament to his dedication and skill. He treats your home as if it were his own, and his commitment to customer satisfaction is evident in everything he does. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled, and personable contractor, look no further than Brad and Dependable Drywall and Paint. You won't be disappointed. He has earned my highest recommendation. Thank you, Brad, for making my house a home!"

"Overall, I would say things went pretty good. We had some miscommunication regarding exactly what was to be included in the quote based off only having a phone conversation prior to the work being done, but we were able to work through it well. Scott and his team were very professional."

We know that your home is your castle. We also know that great painting and home remodeling projects don't just happen. We take our craft seriously. We are extremely professional at all times, from the initial consultation, right through the completion of every job .

"I cannot begin to express my absolute gratitude for Andrew and his staff. I found myself in a bit of a bind last week. I had verbal approval to paint my cement stairs in front of my townhome. The board and management company decided that they would not honor this as it wasn't in writing. I was sent a demand letter to remove the paint or they would access fines and would hire their own company and charge me. I was beside myself. I talked to Andrew who quickly responded to a request asking if this was the kind of thing that he and his company could help me with. Andrew was absolutely amazing! He said they could handle it, he quoted me a very fair price, he promised me when they would be out and he fulfilled every single this he promised. The work was excellent. I highly recommend Durapro Painting."

AA Painting company has provided comprehensive painting services for homeowners, multi-housing management, and builders. We are owner operating company. We don't hire sub-contractors which can drop the service quality and raise price for heads. We are not huge corporate but we are the flexible, lean, organized, and we focus on this: What does our customer need? How can we best deliver that? How can we add more value to our service- not like how they can cut corners and do less for more. We're focused. We understand service. Owner believes that quality difference between professional and amateur come from Prep work. Perfect prep! Perfect finish! are our service motto. We offer free estimate twin city metro area.

"Have used AA Painting in the past and was pleased. This past summer I had my ceiling sprayed and was happy with the how it looked immediately. 6 months later I began to see some cracking in the paint, but was not completely concerned. A couple weeks later it began to start peeling off like a river birch. At this time I called and left Don a voicemail, and sent an email. Waited a week to follow up again, still nothing. After multiple emails and voicemails with photos of the issues, I have not received a response. I was not even that mad as things happen, but to disappear when your work is being questioned has me really disappointed. When speaking with other painters they have told me this issue was due to too much paint too fast (coats not completely curing)."

Quality work, minimal disruption. We realize that having your space overtaken by a paint crew isn’t exactly the ideal situation. That's why we've created a smart painting process that eliminates the hassle and mess you usually get with a painting project. Our personalized, detailed proposals clearly outline our services rendered and the total cost of the job. Our painters then work from the proposals, ensuring every project is completed on time and on budget. We deliver both speed and quality so you don’t have to shift your whole life around. And you won’t even smell paint fumes after we’re gone—we also use zero VOC paint, which is better for you and the environment.

"We unfortunately didn’t have a good experience with Wow. We selected a matte sheen for our interior and they used velvet, didn’t repair nail pops, & used a long nap roller, leaving an orange peel texture on our previously smooth walls. We had some areas needing sanding which were not properly done. To be fair, when we raised concerns, they returned promptly & did a nice job fixing the exterior. They applied 1 coat of matte to the interior, again using long rather than short nap roller we requested. 1 coat didn’t fully cover the shine and orange peel remained. My husband preferred to attempt a fix ourselves rather than having them return again, so we told them it was better. We told them we applied a 2nd matte coat with a short nap roller to further reduce shine and smooth the walls. They did not acknowledge this or offer any rectification. We paid $2400 for our interior, applied 2nd coat ourselves, and are stuck either living with orange peel or paying another company to fix it."

FAQs for wood stripping service projects in Howard Lake, MN

Professional painters charge $20 to $50 per hour, on average. Hourly rate cost factors include the complexity of the paint job, the type of paint, the height of the walls and ceiling, and the type of prep and repairs needed. For example, removing wallpaper costs an additional $3 per square foot because it can be very time consuming and labor intensive. Your location will also impact the hour rate.

Generally, general contractors charge between $50 and $150 hourly, though not every contractor charges by the hour. If charging based on the project, you can expect a markup of 10% to 20% of the construction cost. You can expect to pay between $300 and $500 daily if charged by the day.

While city and state laws vary on general contractor licensing requirements, hiring an unlicensed general contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines for your area.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

The cost to refinish a table is about $250, depending on the size, type of finish, and amount of detail involved in the table and the new finish. The lowest price to refinish a table is about $80, and the highest is about $700. Additional tasks like dipping, stripping, staining, and painting will add to the total project cost. Here are average costs to refinish a table by type:

  • Side or end table: $80–$150

  • Coffee table: $150–$250

  • Dining room table: $400–$700

The cost to paint the exterior of a house ranges from $1,900 to $4,500 or about $1.50 to $4 per square foot, depending on the size, height, and complexity of the home layout. Other cost factors include your location, the type of siding (e.g., wood, aluminum, brick, stucco, etc.), and the kind of paint (e.g. oil-based, latex, acrylic, etc.). Painting the trim a different color or painting intricately designed trim can also increase the cost.
