Painter in Bloomington, MN

Bloomington is one of the largest cities in the Twin Cities metro, with a housing stock that spans from 1950s ramblers and mid-century split-levels in East Bloomington to larger executive-style homes in West Bloomington's wooded terrain. The city also has a significant commercial corridor along Interstate 494 and near the South Loop district, creating demand for both residential and commercial painting. Homes built in the 1950s and 1960s — the dominant era in much of Bloomington — are now old enough to show failing paint on original wood trim, cracked caulk at window frames, and interior walls that have been repainted many times without proper prep.

Bloomington's Mid-Century Homes and Commercial Spaces Both Covered

Bloomington's East Side neighborhoods are filled with ramblers and split-levels built in the 1950s and 1960s. These homes have original wood window trim and door casings that have been painted over many times. When old paint layers build up without proper prep between coats, they eventually crack and peel — especially around windows where moisture from condensation works its way in during winter. We strip back to sound paint, prime bare wood, and apply a topcoat that seals those vulnerable joints.

Popcorn and textured ceilings are common in Bloomington homes from the 1960s and 1970s. Homeowners who want smooth ceilings before repainting need the texture scraped, the surface skim coated, and the ceiling primed before paint goes on. Skipping the skim coat step leaves a rough, uneven surface that shows through even two coats of flat ceiling paint. We handle the full process from scraping through final coat.

Bloomington's commercial corridors — including properties near the South Loop and Penn American districts — need exterior painting that holds up against vehicle exhaust, UV exposure from large south-facing facades, and the same freeze-thaw cycle that affects residential properties. We pressure wash commercial exteriors, repair surface damage, and apply coatings rated for high-traffic, high-exposure conditions.

Every service, available in Bloomington, MN

Interior painting is the most common request in Bloomington's mid-century ramblers, where low ceilings and open layouts make color choice and clean cut-ins especially visible. Ceiling repair and textured ceiling work — including popcorn ceiling removal — is frequently needed in homes built in the 1950s through 1970s, when textured ceilings were standard. Commercial painting serves the retail and office corridors along Penn American and the South Loop district. Exterior painting on Bloomington's older wood-trim homes requires scraping, priming, and caulking at every window and door frame before topcoats go on.

After deciding to refinish our kitchen cabinets instead of replacing them, we were fortunate to find Cesars Painting. I filled out a questionnaire on line and received a phone call the very next day and later that afternoon we had a estimate in hand. For a fraction of the cost of new cabinets, we hired Cesars Painting to do our work for us. Extremely fair pricing, step by step instructions on what they would be doing during the process. We were able to schedule the job around our schedule which made the entire process absolutely perfect. The finished product is absolutely beautiful. The job was completed in a timely manner and finished earlier than the time frame given. Do yourself a favor, hire Cesars Painting for your refinishing project. They will not disappoint Thank you again for all your hard work. Jeffery and Karen Kelting.

We were very happy with Cesar and his family. This is a real family business and they did a great job turning our kitchen cabinets from boring white to a rich blue green (the photos distort the color a bit). They are very hands on. Cesar and his son came to do a final inspection with the painters. Our house was left spotless. The painters were quiet and respectful of our home. The cost was more reasonable than other companies but the work was great. We highly recommend them!

Cesar's painted our house 4 years ago and it still looks great! They were very responsive when we were planning our colors, taking the time to make sure they understood our requests, and were even willing to make a last-minute change near the end of the project. They cared for our house and our yard, and cleaned up well after.

Takes a bit of chasing but worth it! Great job with very competitive pricing. Be sure to save pics of any paint you’ve used on your home in its lifetime. If you’ve had paints matched write the numbers and company used. Cesars guys took just 5 hours to restore the front deck (tiger wood). They restored the ceiling as well which was looking thirsty though had some water spots from previous power washes. Update: Cesar and his team helped me again in a pinch after my Mom passed and the house was going to be put up for sale. The painted the entire outside of it within 2 days and painted a ceiling within another two days! They truly are a great company to work with! You will have zero regrets!

Highly recommend! My home was carefully prepped prior to the exterior painting. It turned out perfect. Lovely people to work with too! Thank you!

Painter FAQ for Bloomington, MN

Common questions from Bloomington, MN customers about our services, process, and coverage.

Popcorn ceiling removal in Bloomington homes built before 1978 should be tested for asbestos before any scraping begins. If the material is clear, the ceiling is wetted to soften the texture, scraped flat, skim coated to fill any gouges or seams, primed, and painted. The skim coat step is what gives you a smooth, even ceiling rather than a rough surface that still shows texture through paint.

We paint commercial interiors and exteriors in Bloomington, including office spaces, retail storefronts, and multi-unit buildings. Commercial exterior painting includes pressure washing, surface repair, and coatings rated for high UV and weather exposure. Interior commercial painting is scheduled to minimize disruption to business operations.

Window frames on Bloomington's 1950s and 1960s ramblers are a common failure point because condensation from inside the home works its way out through the frame during winter. That moisture gets behind the paint film, freezes, and pushes the paint off. The fix is to scrape back to sound paint, prime bare wood with a moisture-blocking primer, re-caulk the frame, and apply a quality topcoat.

Yes. Split-level homes in Bloomington have stairwells and transitional spaces with varying ceiling heights that require careful staging and extension poles to reach cleanly. We cut in by hand at every ceiling and trim line and roll walls in sections to keep a wet edge and avoid lap marks. The result is consistent coverage across all levels of the home.
