Painter in Maplewood, MN

Maplewood wraps around the eastern edge of Saint Paul and holds a housing stock that spans several decades, with a large share of homes built between 1940 and 1999. Neighborhoods like Gladstone and Western Hills have older homes on smaller lots, while Carver Ridge and Highwood East feature larger, more contemporary properties. The city's aging housing stock means many homes are past the 30-year mark where siding, trim, and interior surfaces begin to show wear that paint alone cannot hide without proper prep underneath. Maplewood also has a commercial corridor along White Bear Avenue and near Maplewood Mall that includes retail and office buildings needing exterior maintenance.

Maplewood's Aging Homes Need More Than a Fresh Coat

Maplewood's housing stock is aging, with a large share of homes more than 30 years old. At that age, exterior paint on wood siding and trim begins to fail at caulk joints, around window frames, and on south-facing walls that take the most UV exposure. We inspect the full exterior before quoting, identify every area of loose or failing paint, and address those spots with scraping and spot-priming before the topcoat goes on.

Interior walls in Maplewood's mid-century homes — particularly in the Gladstone and Parkside neighborhoods — often have multiple layers of paint applied over original plaster or early drywall. Nail pops, settling cracks, and seam ridges are common. We repair those surfaces before painting so the finished walls are smooth and the new color reads evenly across the room rather than highlighting every imperfection underneath.

Maplewood's commercial properties along White Bear Avenue and near the Maplewood Mall corridor face heavy foot traffic and vehicle exhaust that accelerates surface wear on painted exteriors. We pressure wash commercial facades, repair surface damage, and apply durable coatings that hold up against the wear patterns specific to high-traffic retail and office buildings.

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 Maplewood, MN

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

Skim coating is a thin layer of joint compound applied over a wall surface to fill cracks, nail pops, seam ridges, and uneven texture before painting. In Maplewood homes built in the 1960s and 1970s, settling and repeated repaints without proper prep leave walls with visible imperfections that show through new paint. Skim coating creates a smooth, uniform surface so the finished paint job looks clean and even.

Yes. We offer eco-friendly, low-VOC interior painting for Maplewood homeowners who want to reduce odor and off-gassing during and after the project. Low-VOC paints perform well on properly prepped surfaces and are a good choice for bedrooms, nurseries, and spaces with limited ventilation.

If the paint surface is chalking — meaning it leaves a white residue on your hand when you rub the siding — it has broken down and needs repainting, not just cleaning. Peeling, cracking at caulk joints, and bare wood showing through are also signs that a full repaint is needed. Pressure washing alone will not fix a paint film that has failed.

Yes. We stage equipment and materials to minimize impact on neighboring properties and public areas. Drop cloths protect landscaping, driveways, and walkways during exterior work. We clean up the work area at the end of each day so the property stays presentable throughout the project.
