I had a relatively small project, but the guys treated it as if it was the most important job they had. Couldn’t be happier with the results, thanks for the great job!

Midwest Paint exceeded our expectations - they were all professional and outlined every step of the process - from the estimate to the phone call notifying me of when the power washing and painting would take place. Lastly, and most important, our neighbors all texted us once the project was complete - letting us know how “eye-popping” the paint job looked!

Ben and his team were awesome. From the initial meeting to the color renderings provided for the project and finally the actual painting of our house everything was great. The painting team members were nice, professional, thorough, took pride in their work, and were eager to please us as customers. Our home looks like new again and so sharp!

Ben and his team did an outstanding job for us painting a custom built-in hall tree and master closet cabinets. We opted for the premium 2k paint, and they provided and incredible finish with it! Ben and his team members communication with us throughout the project was great! Will definitely be calling them again for our next project.

We recently used Midwest Paint to repaint interior walls, kitchen cabinets and bathroom cabinets. From the very beginning they were extremely helpful in color selection for everything and also prepared computer generated photos of the color selections using photos of our walls and cabinets. This was the key to getting everything correct. During the painting process they were extremely well prepared and took extra care to protect the contents of our home. Their painter's were very accommodating, respectful and pleasant to be around. Everyone went the extra mile to get everything correct. We give them ("5 Stars) and would easily recommend them to others. Nat & Pat (Ankeny Iowa)

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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.

<p>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.</p> <p>In short, they really did save the day and kept our project on schedule.</p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p>
