About Minnetonka
Painting homes and businesses in Minnetonka.
Minnetonka stretches from the eastern bays of Lake Minnetonka across wooded hills, creeks, and quiet cul-de-sacs. Minnehaha Creek begins at Gray's Bay here, and many properties sit among mature trees near water. That setting is beautiful, and it's hard on paint.
Local housing
What Minnetonka properties are like.
The housing stock ranges from 1950s–60s ramblers and split-levels to large 1980s–90s two-stories, lakeshore homes, and newer builds. Exteriors mix cedar, wood lap siding, fiber cement, brick, and stone. Inside, you'll find everything from original oak trim to open, modern kitchens ready for cabinet updates.

What we plan for
Painting challenges in Minnetonka.
Shade and moisture
Heavy tree cover keeps some walls damp and shaded, which encourages mildew and slow drying. Those elevations need thorough washing and careful timing.
Cedar and wood siding
Cedar and wood exteriors are common here and need the right primers and coatings to release moisture without peeling.
Large decks and outdoor living
Many homes have big decks facing the lake or woods, which take heavy sun and snow load and need regular staining.
Tall and sloped sites
Walkout lots and tall elevations need planned access and ladder work.
- Lake-influenced moisture and shaded siding
- Wood, composite, and masonry exteriors
- Decks and outdoor living spaces
- Interior updates for both traditional and modern homes

Questions
Painting in Minnetonka: common questions.
Do you paint lakeshore homes on Lake Minnetonka?
Yes. Lakeside homes face extra moisture and sun reflection, so we focus on preparation and coatings suited to that exposure.
How do you handle mildew on shaded siding?
Mildew is cleaned off and the surface is allowed to dry before priming and painting, so it doesn't come back through the new paint.
Can you paint cedar siding?
Yes. Cedar needs primers made to block tannin bleed and coatings that suit wood exposed to moisture.
Do you serve all of Minnetonka?
Yes, including the neighborhoods around Lake Minnetonka's eastern bays, Glen Lake, and the Ridgedale area.
