Owner operated. Uses subs for labor & large jobs. Cost is determined by the job. No travel charges. No service charges. May contact through email.

"Andy's crew is very professional and did a great job. My home was difficult to get drywall into. They carried each sheet upstairs. Walls finished very well. Dedicated spray equipment created smooth application of knock down texture. Ceilings Looks great. No damage. No surprises. Priced right, but they weren't the cheapest option. On time. No excuses. They protected my property and cleaned up after themselves. As a property manager, I will definitely use Scott's again."

"I hired That 1 Painter – Central Iowa to repaint our kitchen, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. Samantha was a pleasure to work with — professional, friendly, and responsive. She provided a fair quote and was flexible with scheduling to meet our needs. The work itself was outstanding. Our kitchen has a lot of odd corners and detailed woodwork, but everything was painted with precision. The lines were sharp, and not a single drop of paint landed where it shouldn’t. The job was completed in one day and looked far better than anything I could have done myself. This was truly a hassle-free experience, and the results speak for themselves. I highly recommend That 1 Painter – Central Iowa for anyone looking for high-quality, professional painting services."
