Your Painter in Minneapolis, Serving the City Right
Finding a painter in Minneapolis who'll actually show up, communicate clearly, and leave a finish worth keeping is harder than it should be. Steve Greene Painting travels from Rockford to serve Minneapolis homeowners with specialty interior work: cabinet enamel, water-damaged ceiling restoration, trim and molding painting, and full interior painting projects. We carry a 5-star rating across four Google reviews, each one naming specific work completed. Call for a free estimate and you'll hear back the same day.
Minneapolis homes range from early-1900s craftsman bungalows in Northeast to 1960s ramblers in Nokomis to newer construction near Dinkytown. Each era brings its own quirks: original plaster that needs careful prep, popcorn ceilings that were standard issue for decades, and oak trim and cabinetry that's ready for a serious finish upgrade. Steve Greene Painting knows how to read what a surface needs before a brush ever touches it. We serve Minneapolis and the broader metro, including Edina, St. Louis Park, and Bloomington.

Cabinet Work
Cabinet Enamel Minneapolis Homeowners Keep Requesting Cabinet Enamel
Spraying cabinets to a hard enamel finish is not the same job as rolling walls, and most painters know it.
Minneapolis kitchens built in the 80s and 90s are full of oak cabinets that are structurally fine but visually dated. A proper cabinet enamel job converts them: we strip the existing varnish, prime the raw wood, and spray a hard factory-grade finish that doesn't brush-mark or peel. The result looks like new cabinetry without a full remodel. We don't roll or brush cabinet faces. Spraying is the only method that gives you the smooth, even surface the finish deserves. Every job gets the full prep, no shortcuts on the sanding or priming phase.
Ceiling Work
Water-Damaged Ceiling Restoration in Minneapolis Water-Damaged
Painting over a stain without fixing what caused it is a mistake we won't make for you.
Minneapolis homes with older roofing, ice dams, or plumbing that's been repaired often carry the evidence on their ceilings: staining, soft texture, sometimes bubbled drywall tape. We assess the ceiling before we price it. If the damage is structural, we say so before we touch it. If it's a surface issue, we treat, prime, texture-match where needed, and repaint so the repair disappears. Water-damaged ceiling restoration is one of the more specific things we do, and it's also one of the most searched because homeowners know they need more than a coat of ceiling white.
Trim, Molding, and the Finish That Separates a Good Paint Job
Walls are the easy part. Trim is where the work shows.
Tight trim lines and clean enamel on doors, baseboards, and molding are the details that tell you whether a painter actually cares about the result. Minneapolis homes with original woodwork, craftsman casings, or built-in cabinetry need someone who can cut in without taping every single edge. We've done enough of this work to move efficiently without sacrificing the line. If your trim paint is yellowing, chipping at door edges, or just looks rough after years of touchups stacked on touchups, a proper stain and varnish work or repaint is a cleaner solution than another patch.

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!

Frequently asked questions
Does Steve Greene Painting serve all parts of Minneapolis?
Yes. We travel into Minneapolis from our base in Rockford and work throughout the city, including Northeast, South Minneapolis, Nokomis, Linden Hills, and other neighborhoods. Minneapolis is a regular part of our service area, and we're familiar with the range of home styles found here, from 1920s plaster-walled bungalows to mid-century ramblers with dated trim. If you're inside the city limits, we can get there. Contact us to confirm availability for your specific address and project timeline.
What does cabinet enamel cost for a Minneapolis kitchen?
Cabinet enamel pricing depends on the number of doors and drawer fronts, the current surface condition, whether deglossing and priming are required, and the finish level you're after. There's no per-cabinet flat rate that holds across different kitchens. Minneapolis homes with original 1980s oak cabinetry in decent structural condition are typically good candidates for a spray enamel conversion. Every job is different. Contact Steve Greene Painting for an accurate estimate specific to your kitchen.
Can you fix a water-stained ceiling in a Minneapolis home before painting?
That's one of the jobs we specifically handle. Minneapolis homes with ice dam history or older plumbing above the ceiling often end up with staining, texture damage, or soft drywall. We assess the ceiling first to determine whether the moisture source is resolved, then treat and prime the stain, match existing texture if needed, and repaint so the repair blends. Painting over a stain without the correct primer and prep is a short-term fix that shows back through the finish quickly. We don't skip that step.
How long does a full interior paint job take in a Minneapolis house?
It depends on square footage, number of rooms, ceiling height, and how much trim and detail work is involved. A straightforward single-level Minneapolis home with standard ceilings and minimal trim can be completed in two to four days. A larger project, like the 4,400-square-foot interior one of our clients had done, took approximately one week. We give a realistic timeline before the project starts and stick to it. We also communicate clearly if anything changes the schedule mid-project.
Do you remove popcorn texture in Minneapolis homes before repainting ceilings?
Yes. Popcorn texture removal is part of what we offer, and it comes up often in Minneapolis and the surrounding metro because a large share of homes built between the 1960s and 1990s have it. We wet the texture, scrape it cleanly, skim the surface as needed, and repaint the ceiling flat or to whatever finish the client wants. Minneapolis homes built before 1978 should have the texture tested for asbestos before removal. That testing is the homeowner's responsibility before we begin scraping.
Will you paint the walls and ceiling in the same project, or do you only do one at a time?
We handle both in a single project. Most of our Minneapolis jobs include ceiling and wall and ceiling painting together, along with trim, molding, or cabinet work as needed. It's more efficient to coordinate the work rather than have separate contractors in on different schedules. Several of our clients have added scope mid-project after seeing the work in progress, and we accommodate that when scheduling allows. We'll walk through the full scope with you during the estimate.
