Exterior painting

Weather in Minnesota and Wisconsin is tough on the exterior of our homes. Faded paint and chips in the paint are just a few problems our weather causes. We take care to look for any needed repairs before we begin to freshen your home’s outer self. We’ve helped countless homeowners make their exteriors SUPERIOR!

Resurfacing and rejuvenation

Restoring a weathered deck, pergola or fence provides a noticeable and satisfying aesthetic upgrade. It requires a smaller budget than replacing a deck but provides a major payoff, especially if you’re considering putting your house on the market.

Power washing

Before painting, pressure washing offers the opportunity to thoroughly clean the surface of any dust, grime, and cobwebs. Washing your home will give the fresh coat the best chance to adhere to the undercoat. By removing all the debris, we can ensure that the coating applies smoothly.

Exceeded Our Expectations! Dave and Christi of CARLSON Paint & Design were fantastic to work with and made the whole experience an enjoyable one. As real estate agents my wife and I have worked with many paint contractors over the years. Our usual guy wasn’t available so decided to reach out and give them a try, and so GLAD WE DID! I’ve never seen such attention to detail to fix and prep walls and ceilings prior to painting, and the finished product showed. We really appreciated the thorough breakdown of their estimate, and their easy going approach to offer their services. Highly recommend giving them an opportunity to bid your project, you won’t be disappointed. Great people, great service! When they were done…BETTER THAN NEW!😊

This was our first time using Carlson Paint and Design and we had a great experience. Very professional and helpful from beginning to end of the project. I appreciated their patience while we worked through a couple of design ideas in the beginning. The paint crew did a wonderful job, were so attentive to details and tidy through the whole process. We will definitely scheduling future projects with Dave and Christi.

We are delighted with the work Christie and Dave and their team performed for us! We were working in a tight time window, and the team got it done. The Carlson team were professional, communicative, and provided a quality end result.

Christie Pitzer

I was referred to Carlson Paint and design by our realtor and could not be more pleased. We quoted several companies to paint most of the interior of our home, and they were significantly more professional and detailed in their quote than the others. The quote was competitive, the painting teams were excellent and most importantly they did not ask for any payment until everything was done to our satisfaction. Stellar communication, speed, quality, and affordability. Highly recommend!

We could not be happier with the project that Dave and Christi helped us with! We recently moved and needed a refresh of paint in our entire first floor, upstairs and stairways. They were professional, attentive, easy to work with, and the quality of work was fantastic. Loved the outcome (completely changed the look of the space) and will definitely go back for future projects!

I was skeptical about having my cabinets painted vs fully replacing them. I had not personally heard of a success story, however, my kitchen cabinets were still in great shape and I hated the idea of throwing them out. They just needed to be brought into the present day. Carlson Paint & Design did not disappoint! Their work is IMPECCABLE! My cabinets now look brand new…they’re beautiful! And the process of working with this company was pure professionalism. From the initial appointment and walkthrough to the prep process to the final walkthrough…I couldn’t have asked for anything more. I would hands down recommend this company to anyone…and working also as a general contractor, I now won’t hesitate to use this company for my own clients.
