Interiors, exteriors & everything between
We bring a fresh coat to
your whole home.
What we paint
From a single room to a whole storefront.
-
01
Interior Painting
Walls, ceilings, trim, and doors. We patch, sand, and cut in clean, then leave the room tidy on the way out.
-
02
Exterior Painting
Siding, trim, soffits, and fascia, prepped to stand up to Minnesota winters and summer sun without peeling early.
-
03
Deck & Fence Staining
Cleaning, sanding, and sealing that protects the wood and brings the color back. Staining extends the life of the boards you already have.
-
04
Commercial Painting
Offices, storefronts, and rental units, painted on a schedule that works around your hours instead of interrupting them.

Kind words
What neighbors say after we wrap up.
"We had the outside of our house repainted. It looks beautiful. There were some trim pieces that were rotting, and some woodpecker damage that the guys were able to patch and replace. They touched base everyday, letting me know how things were progressing. I would highly recommend Fresh Coat Solutions for your painting needs."
"Highly recommend! Jesse and Ben were absolutely incredible. They repainted my house & garage trim last year, and everything still looks amazing. They have a great work ethic, extremely efficient, their attention to detail is truly impressive. I’m extremely happy with the results!"
"Jesse and Ben refinished and painted my deck, which hadn’t received any refreshing in 6 years! They did a great job, they were speedy and efficient. Great communication about scheduling and very reasonable/competitive rates. Would definitely recommend Fresh Coat Solutions to anyone who needs some exterior work quickly and with precision!"
"We had a wonderful experience with Fresh Coat staining our deck last summer! They were prompt, professional, and reasonably priced. The end product was better than we could have imagined!"
"Jesse and Ben did great work, and did it in a timely manner. They came when they said they would and finished the work in one day. I would recommend them for any of your painting needs."
"These guys did an AWESOME job at a reasonable rate, showed up on time, and worked hard until the job was completed! Absolutely recommend them!!!"

Questions, answered
Good to know before you book.
How much does it cost to paint a house or a room?
Every project is priced on its size, surfaces, condition, prep, and the paint you choose, so there is no flat rate. That is exactly why our estimates are free: we look at the space, talk through your options, and give you a clear, written price before any work begins.
How long will my painting project take?
Most single rooms are a one-day job, and a whole-home interior or exterior usually runs a few days, depending on size, prep, and weather. We give you a realistic timeline with your estimate and keep you posted if anything changes.
Do you help me choose paint colors?
Yes. During your free estimate we walk through colors, finishes, and sheen, and we are happy to suggest options that suit the room, the light, and how the space is used. The final color is always your call.
What kind of paint do you use, and how many coats?
We use quality paints matched to each surface and apply two coats by default for even color and lasting durability. If you have a specific brand or product in mind, we are glad to work with it.
How do you protect my home, and do you clean up afterward?
We cover floors and furniture, move what we safely can, and mask off anything we are not painting. When we finish, we clean up, haul away our debris, and walk the job with you before we call it done.
When is the best time to paint in Minnesota?
Interior painting works year-round. For exteriors, late spring through early fall is ideal in Minnesota, when temperatures and humidity let the paint cure properly. Exterior dates book up, so it helps to reach out early.
How do I know it is time to repaint my home?
Peeling, cracking, or flaking paint, faded color, and bare or weathered wood are the clearest signs. If your siding or trim looks chalky or tired, a fresh coat protects the surface and refreshes the look.
Do you stain decks and fences?
Yes. We clean, sand, and seal decks and fences so the wood is protected and the color comes back to life.
Do you handle both interior and exterior painting?
Yes, both. Interior walls, ceilings, trim, and doors, plus exterior siding, trim, soffits, and fascia.
Do you paint commercial spaces?
Yes. We paint offices, storefronts, and rental units, and we schedule the work around your business hours.
Are your estimates really free?
Yes. We look at the job, talk through colors and options, and give you a clear price at no cost and no obligation to book.
What areas do you serve?
We paint Saint Paul and the east Twin Cities metro from our home base in Cottage Grove, including Woodbury, Maplewood, Oakdale, Inver Grove Heights, Eagan, Saint Paul Park, Newport, and Hastings, and we reach into Minneapolis.
Are you insured?
Yes. Fresh Coat Solutions is fully insured, so your home and our crew are covered while we work. We are happy to share proof of insurance when we meet for your free estimate.
