Exterior Painting
Exterior Painting in Shoreview, MN
Shoreview homes take a beating between Minnesota winters and long summer sun, and most of the siding around here is original cedar or LP from the late 1970s through the early 2000s. Smooth Painting washes, repairs, and repaints it the right way, with a crew that shows up when we say we will and keeps you posted the whole time.
We’re about 14 minutes from Shoreview, and it’s one of the neighborhoods we work in most. Every estimate starts with an honest look at your siding and trim, not a number guessed over the phone. See everything included in our exterior painting services below, or check availability in nearby Vadnais Heights and White Bear Lake too.

What's included
Exterior Painting Services We Offer in Shoreview, MN
Every exterior project covers the surfaces that actually take the weather. Here’s what’s part of the job, and ask us about deck and fence staining too if your project includes one.
Siding
Wood, vinyl, and fiber cement, prepped and painted to hold up through Minnesota winters.
Trim & fascia
Caulked and painted so water has nowhere to get in.
Soffits
Cleaned, primed where needed, and finished to match your trim.
Doors, garage doors & shutters
Hardware removed rather than taped around, for a cleaner line.
Pressure washing
Every exterior job starts here, so the new paint has a clean surface to bond to.
Repairs & caulking
Soft wood, gaps, and cracked caulk get handled before any color goes on.
Why homeowners choose us
Why Shoreview Homeowners Choose Smooth Painting
Most Shoreview homes went up between the late 1970s and the early 2000s, so there’s a lot of stained cedar and LP siding, steep gables, and two-story entryways. The age of your siding and the shape of your roofline both affect what your repaint costs and how long it takes, and we walk through both with you before you get a number.
The south and west sides of your house take the most sun, so they usually fade and chalk years before the north side does. We’ll tell you honestly which walls need attention now and which ones have another season left.
Homeowners who’ve picked us over another painter say the same things:
“We show up early or right on time, we communicate before the quote even happens, and we ask questions instead of just handing over a price.”
That’s the reason behind the morning text and the end-of-day update on every job, so you always know where your project stands.
What affects your price
- Square footage and number of stories
- Siding material and its current condition
- How much scraping, repair, and caulking it needs
- Trim detail and how much of it there is
- A color change versus a refresh in the same tone
- The warranty package you choose
We price your job on site, in writing, with the prep spelled out. You’ll never get a number guessed over the phone.
Local Exterior Conditions in Shoreview
Your exterior takes a real beating between the seasons here. This is what that means for your project.
Winters That Are Hard on Your Siding
Moisture that works into an open caulk joint freezes and slowly widens it. We seal your seams and joints first so water has nowhere to sit.
A Short Window to Get It Done
Exteriors run from about May through early October here, and Shoreview books up fast. Getting on the calendar early means your home gets painted when you want it, not whenever there’s room.
Sun on Your South and West Walls
Those sides fade first. We look at them separately and price them honestly instead of averaging your whole house.
How it works
Our Exterior Painting Process
Every exterior project follows the same five steps, from your first estimate to the final walkthrough.
Step 01
Free On-Site Estimate
We come to your Shoreview home, look at the actual surfaces, and ask what you want from the project. Your free hour with our interior designer is included if you want help choosing a color.
Step 02
Written proposal
Prep, scope, and line-item pricing in writing, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden fees and no numbers guessed over the phone.
Step 03
Prep and Wash
We wash your siding, scrape loose paint, and caulk gaps and joints before any color goes on. This step is what makes a repaint last.
Step 04
Morning and evening updates
A text each morning with your painters’ arrival time, and a recap at the end of the day. You’ll always know where your project stands.
Step 05
walkthrough, then the invoice
We walk the finished job with you and fix anything you flag before you ever see a final bill. Your package carries 1 to 4 years of warranty coverage, depending on what you choose.

What to expect
Clear Communication From Start to Finish
You always know who is coming to your home, when they will be there, and what got done that day. No guessing, and no chasing anyone down for an answer.
A text every morning
You get your arrival window before the crew leaves, so you can plan your day around it. On time, every time.
Your scope in writing
Prep, product, coats, and line-item pricing. If anything changes mid-project, you hear about it that day, not on your invoice.
A recap at the end of the day
In person if you are home, by text if you are not. You always know what got finished and what is next.
It depends on the size of your home, your siding type, and how much prep it needs. We come out, measure, and give you line-item pricing in writing so there are no surprises later. The estimate is free.
Roughly May through early October, and the calendar fills quickly once the weather turns. Booking your estimate early gets your home on the schedule when it works for you.
