Painting · Ames, Story & Boone County
House Painters in Ames, Iowa.
Ames painting projects come in two flavors: proper interior refreshes on pre-war craftsman homes near campus and Old Town, and full exteriors on Story City and Nevada ranches that finally need the paint the 2024 hail line demanded. Prep is where paint jobs live or die, and prep is where we spend our time.
What we see in Ames
The painting work Ames actually needs.
Every neighborhood we work in has its own patterns — the age of the homes, the way people use them, the recurring lists that come up. Here's what our painting calendar looks like in and around Ames.

- Cabinet and trim repaints on South Duff and Northridge Heights kitchens
- Full exterior repaints on Story City, Nevada, and Huxley ranches — pressure wash, scrape, prime, two coats
