What does a finished Durahome project look like?

Every house painting before and after on this page is a real Twin Cities project completed by our own crew β€” exteriors, interiors, cabinets, decks, and popcorn ceiling removal across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding suburbs. What to evaluate is not just the color, but the crisp cut lines at the trim, the caulk seams, coverage under eaves, and how the finish holds years later.

WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS

Four Things to Look For in Any Painter's Photos

Anyone can make a fresh coat look good from 50 feet. Here is what to inspect up close:

01

Look at the edges, not the walls.

Anyone can roll a flat wall. The tell is where two surfaces meet: the line where trim meets siding, where the ceiling meets the wall, where a window casing turns a corner. Wobbly cut lines are the single most common sign of a rushed job.

02

Look for the shots taken close up.

Wide shots hide everything. A crew confident in its work will show you a detail photo of a soffit line or a cabinet door edge. If every photo in a gallery is from thirty feet away, ask why.

03

Look for the prep, not just the paint.

Before-and-after pairs that show scraped and repaired wood, replaced trim, or a stripped ceiling are showing you the part that decides how long the finish lasts. The color is the easy half.

04

Ask how old the photo is.

A photo taken the day the crew left tells you what a fresh coat looks like. A photo taken three winters later tells you whether the prep was real. We'd rather show you the second kind.

BROWSE BY PROJECT TYPE

Recent Work Across the Twin Cities

Explore real local transformations across every residential and commercial service line we offer.

EXTERIORS

Exterior Repaints

Siding, trim, soffits, fascia, garage and front doors. Look at how body color meets trim, and coverage under eaves.

INTERIORS

Interior Repaints

Walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and stairwells. Look at cut lines where wall meets ceiling and sheen on trim.

CABINETS

Cabinet Refinishing

Kitchens and baths transformed without a remodel. Look at door edges and sprayed frame finish.

CEILINGS

Popcorn Ceiling Removal

Textured ceilings restored to smooth, paint-ready surfaces cleanly around light fixtures.

WOOD CARE

Decks & Fences

Weathered wood cleaned, prepped, and stained to show natural grain rather than opaque film.

COMMERCIAL

Commercial Work

Offices, retail, and multi-unit properties painted around your operating hours.

YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

Projects Across the Metro

The housing stock across Twin Cities neighborhoods dictates the exact prep sequence required.

ST. PAUL & MINNEAPOLIS HISTORIC HOMES

Craftsman & Foursquares

Century-old homes in Frogtown, Hamline-Midway, Mac-Groveland, and Como carry decades of paint buildup. Scraper prep, wood consolidation, and lead-safe RRP containment are paramount.

WEST & EAST METRO SUBURBS

Maple Grove, Plymouth & Woodbury

Modern fiber-cement and vinyl-trimmed developments require precise surface wash, priming cut edges, and high-adhesion 100% acrylic latex topcoats engineered for expansion.

LAKE FRONT PROPERTIES

Wayzata & Minnetonka

Waterfront homes take intense western sun reflection off Lake Minnetonka. We utilize maximum UV-resistant topcoats and marine-grade sealants on exposed cedar trim.
