"10 STARS!! The attention to detail and the way they communicated during a very difficult time of the year (2 subsequent blizzards and sub zero temperatures) was much better than I ever expected! Their work is meticulous and I plan to hire them again for windows. Even my neighbor noticed how focused they were on making sure everything was perfect. They also came back after the snow melted to gather any debris left behind. My house looks so great!!!"

"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."

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."

Fresh Paint Des Moines started in 1994 by Scott Runyon, owner. It's birth was a result of two unresolved passions- the first was a desire to build a business that could provide a needed service to the community. Quality painting at affordable prices. The second is a well found reason, "if you didn't have to work, what would you be doing". For Scott, that would be playing golf at Agusta but since that's not possible, he would rather be fixing up his house or someone else's property. Scott has been painting for years. It's something he loves. Customer satisfaction is his goal. If you are satisfied, you will send business his way. We are not a fly-by-night outfit out just to make a dollar and run. We are professionals and we'll be here when the job is done!

Professional painters can complete an exterior door painting project in one to three hours, not including drying time. The timeline depends on the door's condition, required preparation, and the number of coats needed.
Weather conditions significantly impact drying times, with high humidity or extreme temperatures extending the process. Most doors require 24 to 48 hours of curing time before resuming normal use.
While removing the door provides optimal access to all surfaces and edges, many professional painters achieve excellent results with the door remaining in place. For in-position painting, proper hardware protection and masking are essential. Door removal becomes more beneficial when dealing with significant damage, when painting both sides simultaneously, or when making dramatic color changes that require extra coats.
The ideal paint for exterior doors is a high-quality, weather-resistant formulation designed specifically for outdoor conditions. Acrylic latex paints offer excellent moisture resistance and color retention, while oil-based options provide superior hardness for high-traffic areas. Semi-gloss or gloss finishes repel dirt and moisture more effectively than flat finishes. Door material also influences paint selection—metal doors benefit from rust-inhibiting formulas, while wood doors may require specialized primers.
Hiring a professional delivers superior results for exterior door painting, especially for front entrances where appearance matters most. Professionals bring specialized equipment, extensive experience, and efficient techniques that ensure a smooth, durable finish.
While DIY painting saves on labor costs, you'll need proper tools, adequate preparation knowledge, and sufficient time to achieve comparable results. For complex door styles or when changing colors dramatically, professional expertise often justifies the additional expense.
