Quick answer
cK Builders paints homes inside and out across St. Paul, Mendota Heights, Dakota County and the south metro — walls, ceilings, trim, doors and cabinets inside, and siding, trim and doors outside — including drywall patching, surface prep, and protecting floors and furniture. We’re a licensed Minnesota residential building contractor (#BC809999), so painting can also be the finish on a larger remodel.
Painting we do
A single accent wall or every room in the house: walls, ceilings, trim, baseboards, doors and frames, closets, stairwells and high ceilings. We also paint cabinets and exteriors, including siding, trim and doors.
Prep is where a paint job is won: drywall patching, nail pops, cracks and dents, caulking gaps at trim, priming stains and patches, and sanding before any finish coat. We paint for color changes (including dark to light), before a home is listed, before a move-in, between renters, and as the finish on our own remodels.
