Exterior Painting by CertaPro Painters® of South Metro, MN
Minnesota’s weather doesn’t make it easy on your home’s exterior. Between sub-zero winters, heavy spring rain, and humid summer afternoons, the paint on your siding, trim, and other exterior features take a beating all year long. CertaPro Painters® of South Metro, MN helps homeowners throughout Lakeville, Apple Valley, Burnsville, and the surrounding South Metro communities protect their homes with a finish built to withstand the Twin Cities climate.
Our team of experienced local painters understand what it takes to get a long-lasting exterior paint job, planning around Minnesota’s short painting season and unforgiving freeze-thaw cycle. We make the process as easy as possible so that your home looks great and stays protected through the seasons.
Our Exterior Painting Process
A great exterior paint job in Minnesota starts long before the first brushstroke. Because our climate puts extra stress on paint film, every step of our process is designed with the weather in mind. Here’s how we tackle all our exterior painting projects:
1. Honest Estimating & Transparent Scheduling
You’ll work with a local estimator who understands the demands that Minnesota weather places on exteriors surfaces, providing a straightforward, transparent estimate.
- The estimator will visit your home to evaluate the condition of your siding, trim, and other surfaces.
- A free, no-obligation estimate is provided.
- If accepted, we plan the project around Minnesota’s painting season to allow optimal conditions for a durable finish.
- You’ll be provided with a clear project timeline.
- We’ll help you choose paint colors that are well-suited to your desired aesthetics.
Every home is different, so it’s important that a local estimator sees your home and understands the scope of the work, including any needed repairs.
2. Thorough Preparation
In Minnesota’s climate, preparation is the foundation of a lasting exterior paint job. The team at CertaPro Painters® of South Metro, MN follows essential steps to prepare every surface:
- Washing all surfaces to remove mildew, mold, pollen, and grime that builds up during a long winter.
- Scraping off paint that has cracked, peeled, or bubbled from freeze-thaw cycles
- Filling in gaps with caulk to seal out moisture and sanding any rough surfaces.
Minnesota homes are especially prone to caulking failures and small cracks that can widen. Our preparation focuses on these vulnerable areas so that your new coat of paint has the best possible foundation.
3. Expert Painting & Meticulous Cleanup
Once your home’s surfaces are properly prepped, our team gets to work, using products and techniques proven to work in Minnesota’s climate. Our exterior painters follow specific steps:
- We prime any required areas to ensure a uniform finish and proper paint adhesion.
- We paint with high-quality products selected for their durability in climates with large seasonal temperature swings.
- We clean all tools and materials around your home at the end of each day.
- Once the painting is completed, we walk you through the jobsite to ensure you are satisfied.
We know Twin Cities homeowners have a lot going on. That’s why we find a schedule that fits your life.

Common Questions About Exterior Painting Projects
How much does exterior house painting cost per square foot?
There are many factors that impact the price of an exterior painting project, including the type of surface being painted, the number of coats needed, any repairs needed from winter weather damage, ease of access to the surfaces, and the overall scope of the project. It’s not simply a flat price determined by square footage.
Can CertaPro Painters® of South Metro, MN repair damaged exterior surfaces as part of the project?
It depends on the scope of the damage. Our team can handle non-structural, light carpentry repairs to exterior surfaces, such as patching cracks in stucco and replacing damaged trim. For more intensive repairs, we can recommend an appropriate contractor.
Can you paint my home’s exterior in rainy weather?
Spring in Minnesota can bring plenty of rain. Paint needs the right conditions to cure properly, so a rainy forecast typically means its best to reschedule your project.
Can exterior painting be done in cold weather?
This is one of the biggest calls for concern for Minnesota homeowners. Most paint products should not be applied if the temperature is below 35 degrees Fahrenheit. Because of this, exterior painting in the Twin Cities area is limited to a window that runs roughly late spring through early fall. Because of this limited window, we recommend scheduling your estimate as early as possible.
How often should I paint the exterior of my home?
Many factors play into this, including the type of siding your have and how much exposure your home gets to sun, wind, and moisture. In a climate like Minnesota’s, where surfaces face extreme seasonal swings, many homes benefit from repainting on the shorter end of the typical range.
