Big Lake interior painting, from lake homes to new builds
Interior painting in Big Lake covers two very different kinds of houses: older places on Big Lake and Lake Mitchell with knotty pine, stained trim and a lot of windows, and newer homes with builder paint and oak cabinets. Steve Greene Painting handles both. On the lake homes that usually means refinishing wood instead of covering it, and on the newer homes it means proper prep before cabinets and trim get enamel. We're rated 5 stars on Google, and the estimate is free.
Big Lake sits along Highway 10 in Sherburne County, and together with Monticello it marks the northwest edge of the area we serve. Lake homes take a beating from humidity swings, sun through big windows, and seasonal use. That shows up as faded stain on window frames, varnish gone cloudy or peeling, and ceiling stains from roof leaks and ice dams. Those problems are better solved by someone who refinishes wood than by a crew that only rolls walls.

Services
What Big Lake Interiors Need
Stain and Varnish Work
Knotty pine, cedar and stained trim that has gone orange or cloudy can be cleaned, sanded and re-coated. We'll tell you when wood should be refinished and when it's better painted.
Window Frame Staining
Big windows facing the lake take the most sun. Faded frames and sills get sanded, re-stained and sealed with fresh varnish.
Cabinet Enamel
Oak kitchens in newer Big Lake homes converted to a smooth, sprayed enamel finish that stands up to daily use.
Wall and Ceiling Painting
Full interior repaints with patching and sanding first, in a finish that wipes clean.
Water-Damaged Ceiling Restoration
Stains from ice dams or a winter leak at a seasonal place get sealed, repaired, re-textured and repainted so they don't come back through.

Steve + Team did a phenomenal job painting all 4400 sq ft interior painting while we were on vacation for a week, even finishing the job early! They fixed drywall errors (of which I was oblivious prior to him pointing out the flaws in the initial quote), touched up the enamel/molding, and did a beautiful job beyond our expectations even cleaning up so well after themselves. We were beyond impressed and would absolutely hire them again and recommend others do the same!
Paul and Kim ShipleySep 2024 · GoogleOn my main level, Steve painted my oak kitchen cabinets, fixed my ceiling and then resprayed the entire ceiling. I added on to the project and had the downstairs painted. Steve and his team did a great job. I was impressed with the responsiveness and attention to detail. I couldn’t be happier with the results and would definitely recommend!
Valerie KilianOct 2023 · GoogleOur wooden window sills/frames needed some repair, and we hired Steve and his team to re-stain and varnish all the window frames in our house. I can't believe the difference. Many of them were faded and some looked like the wood was starting to rot. After Steve and his team were here, they look completely different. They did a great job, and I would definitely hire them again. Steve is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain his process.
Lorrie LabofskyOct 2022 · GoogleWe hired Steve to white enamel our main level cabinets, molding and stairwell which initially were oak. The finished product was beautiful and he did such an exceptional job that we additionally had him paint our ceiling and walls. Steve is extremely knowledgeable, reliable and easy to work with. He is committed to providing high quality services at reasonable costs. We will definitely be using him again for future projects!
