Interior Painting in St Louis Park

If you're searching for a painter in St Louis Park who'll actually finish the job the way it was quoted, I'd like to talk. Steve Greene Painting specializes in cabinet enamel, interior painting, and ceiling restoration work that most painting contractors won't take or can't execute cleanly. We carry a 5-star rating across our Google reviews, and I show up to every job personally. Call for a free estimate and I'll give you a straight answer about what your project needs.

I work out of Rockford, MN, and regularly take on projects throughout the western Twin Cities metro, including St Louis Park. This is an older, well-maintained suburban city with a mix of mid-century ramblers, split-levels, and post-war two-stories. A lot of those homes have original woodwork worth preserving, cabinets that have been painted over improperly, and ceilings that show water staining from decades of roof or plumbing issues. I know what those jobs look like before I ever open a can of paint, and that matters when it comes to getting the finish right.

Services I Bring to St Louis Park

01

Cabinet Enamel

Spraying cabinets to a hard, furniture-grade finish is a specialty, not a side job. I convert varnished oak and stained wood to clean enamel without brush marks or orange peel texture. It's the most-requested work I do, and the results hold up.

02

Wall and Ceiling Painting

Full interior painting including walls, ceilings, and trim. I prep the surface before any paint goes on, because paint over bad prep just fails faster. Wall and ceiling painting in older homes often means fixing imperfections first.

03

Water-Damaged Ceiling Restoration

A stained ceiling isn't just cosmetic. If you paint over an active or unaddressed water stain, it bleeds through. I assess the damage, treat the source area, apply the right primer, and restore the ceiling to a finish that actually holds. See more on water-damaged ceiling restoration.

04

Trim and Molding Painting

Clean trim lines separate a professional paint job from a DIY one. I cut in precisely and apply enamel to doors, casings, and molding in a way that lasts without yellowing or chipping prematurely.

05

Popcorn Texture Removal

A lot of mid-century St Louis Park homes still have popcorn ceilings. I remove the texture, prep the surface, and get it ready for a smooth painted finish. Popcorn texture removal is a messy process if it's not contained well, and I take that containment seriously.

06

Stain and Varnish Work

Window frames, wood trim, built-ins. If it's raw or faded wood that needs a stain and protective topcoat, I handle that too. Stain and varnish work on older woodwork can make a dramatic difference without replacing anything.

Why It Matters

Cabinet Enamel in St Louis Park Kitchens

The most common call I get from St Louis Park is from a homeowner who wants to refresh their kitchen without doing a full remodel. Spraying the cabinets to a hard enamel finish is the fastest way to change the look of a kitchen completely, and it's a fraction of the cost of new cabinetry. The catch is that it has to be done right. Cabinets painted with a roller or brush end up with texture, drips, or finish that chips within a year. I spray every cabinet job and I don't skip the prep, because the prep is what makes the finish last. If your cabinets were originally varnished oak, I've done that conversion dozens of times. It's what I'm probably most known for.

What Separates This Work from the Alternatives

  1. 01

    Accurate scope from the start

    I quote what the job actually needs. If there's drywall to fix or primer to apply before any topcoat, I tell you upfront, not after the fact.

  2. 02

    Spray equipment for cabinet work

    Brush and roller finishes on cabinets aren't acceptable to me. I use spray equipment to produce a smooth, furniture-grade result on every cabinet job.

  3. 03

    The job gets cleaned up before I leave

    Several of my reviews specifically mention the cleanup. That's not an accident. I don't leave a job site looking like it was just painted. That standard applies in St Louis Park the same as anywhere else I work.

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!

On 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!

Our 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.

We 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

Do you do cabinet enamel work in St Louis Park?
Yes. Cabinet enamel is the most common specialty job I take in the St Louis Park area. A lot of homes here were built in the 1950s through 1980s with oak cabinets that homeowners want to convert to a clean white or painted finish. I spray every cabinet job using professional spray equipment to produce a smooth, hard finish. If your cabinets are varnished wood, I've done that conversion many times and can walk you through what the process looks like before any work starts.
What's involved in restoring a water-damaged ceiling in a St Louis Park home?
The first thing I do is assess whether the water source has been addressed. Painting over an active leak or ongoing moisture problem just means the stain comes back. Once I know the source is resolved, I treat the stained area with a stain-blocking primer, make any necessary drywall or plaster repairs, and apply a finish coat that matches the surrounding ceiling. In older St Louis Park homes with plaster ceilings, the repair process is a little different than standard drywall, and I account for that in the estimate. More detail is on the water-damaged ceiling restoration page.
How far in advance do I need to schedule painting work in St Louis Park?
It varies by season and current workload. Spring and summer book faster because that's when most people are doing interior refreshes alongside other renovation projects. If you're planning a kitchen cabinet job or a full interior paint before a move-in or family gathering, calling a few weeks out gives me time to get you scheduled properly. If you reach out through the estimate form, I respond within one business day and can give you a realistic timeline from there.
Can you handle both ceiling and cabinet work in the same project in St Louis Park?
Absolutely, and that's actually a common combination. A lot of homeowners in St Louis Park start by asking about cabinets and then add a ceiling repaint or ceiling restoration once we're talking through the project. Sequencing matters when you're doing both, because the ceiling work should happen before the cabinet work is finished. I plan the order of operations to make sure one phase doesn't affect the other. One of my reviews describes exactly this scenario, adding wall and ceiling work after starting with a cabinet job.
Do you work in older homes in St Louis Park with plaster walls or popcorn ceilings?
Yes, and these come up regularly. St Louis Park has a lot of mid-century housing stock, and older homes often have plaster walls, popcorn texture ceilings, or woodwork that needs more than just paint. Popcorn ceilings need to be removed and the substrate prepped before painting, and I do that as part of the project rather than just painting over it. Plaster walls require a different approach than drywall when it comes to repairs and priming. I'm familiar with both and factor that into what I recommend. See more on popcorn texture removal if that's the main thing you're dealing with.
What does the estimate process look like for a St Louis Park interior painting job?
I keep it straightforward. You call or submit the estimate form, describe what you're looking for, and we either talk through it on the phone or schedule a time for me to see the space in person. For cabinet jobs or anything involving ceiling restoration or significant prep work, seeing the project in person produces a more accurate quote. I point out things during the walkthrough that affect the scope, including drywall issues or surface prep needs that might not be obvious until someone with experience looks at it. Every job is different. Contact Steve Greene Painting for an accurate estimate.
