AA Painting company has provided comprehensive painting services for homeowners, multi-housing management, and builders. We are owner operating company. We don't hire sub-contractors which can drop the service quality and raise price for heads. We are not huge corporate but we are the flexible, lean, organized, and we focus on this: What does our customer need? How can we best deliver that? How can we add more value to our service- not like how they can cut corners and do less for more. We're focused. We understand service. Owner believes that quality difference between professional and amateur come from Prep work. Perfect prep! Perfect finish! are our service motto. We offer free estimate twin city metro area.
"Don and the entire team of 3 additional workers were superb to work with. Don made sure he completely understood the scope and quirks of our project AND provided an accurate estimate. He was consistently timely with communication and responses to any of my inquiries. The team of three with Don's assistance worked for two days to complete our project. Other contractors who worked solo were giving us time estimates of 6+ days. As we wanted to keep a tight timeline to reduce our time without our kitchen, we found this team approach was perfect. In addition, when they needed to finish up a final coat of ceiling paint they offered to come back after dinner so that the next day contractor would not be impeded. They were all professional, neat, and did superb prep work. We had a large between room wood door frame with damage, that they did a fabulous job of filling - with paint it looks brand new again. They also took care of some ceiling water damage and areas that were problems on 1941 cabinets, again not show after painting. They prepped and painted a multi pane window above the sink (with water damage) beautifully. I would highly recommend them!"

"The paint was flaking off of the bathroom ceiling and looked awful. Dan and Chris were so pleasant and easy to work with. Now it looks great, and will be protected against humidity for years. Because this was our only bathroom, Chris was very understanding and accommodating. He worked with us so that the pointing didn’t interrupt getting ready for school in the mornings."

Quality work, minimal disruption. We realize that having your space overtaken by a paint crew isn’t exactly the ideal situation. That's why we've created a smart painting process that eliminates the hassle and mess you usually get with a painting project. Our personalized, detailed proposals clearly outline our services rendered and the total cost of the job. Our painters then work from the proposals, ensuring every project is completed on time and on budget. We deliver both speed and quality so you don’t have to shift your whole life around. And you won’t even smell paint fumes after we’re gone—we also use zero VOC paint, which is better for you and the environment.
"We unfortunately didn’t have a good experience with Wow. We selected a matte sheen for our interior and they used velvet, didn’t repair nail pops, & used a long nap roller, leaving an orange peel texture on our previously smooth walls. We had some areas needing sanding which were not properly done. To be fair, when we raised concerns, they returned promptly & did a nice job fixing the exterior. They applied 1 coat of matte to the interior, again using long rather than short nap roller we requested. 1 coat didn’t fully cover the shine and orange peel remained. My husband preferred to attempt a fix ourselves rather than having them return again, so we told them it was better. We told them we applied a 2nd matte coat with a short nap roller to further reduce shine and smooth the walls. They did not acknowledge this or offer any rectification. We paid $2400 for our interior, applied 2nd coat ourselves, and are stuck either living with orange peel or paying another company to fix it."

Small projects paintings or stainings FAQs
It's best to stain your new fence after the wood has fully dried, which usually takes about six to eight weeks after installation. Waiting ensures the stain adheres properly, giving your fence lasting protection. Staining a fence usually takes three to five days. You'll start by cleaning the wood and letting it dry for at least 24 hours. After applying the stain, you'll need to wait 12 to 24 hours for each coat to dry.
Paint lasts longer than stain—about five to 10 years compared to stain's one to eight years. Painting requires more prep work and multiple coats, but offers a durable, long-lasting finish. Staining is less labor-intensive and allows the wood's natural beauty to show, but may need more frequent reapplication. Consider your maintenance preferences and desired look when choosing between the two.
Yes, you should stain both sides of your fence. Staining both sides provides complete protection from weather, moisture, and pests, extending your fence's lifespan and keeping it looking good. If your fence borders a neighbor’s property, communicate with them about splitting the cost of staining both sides of the fence or work out an agreement that satisfies both parties.
