Your exterior house painters in Columbia, MO.

Exterior painting is about more than color—it’s protection. When your siding, trim, and doors are properly prepped and coated, your home is better protected from Mid‑Missouri heat, humidity, and seasonal swings. Our team takes time to prep correctly, use high‑quality primers and paints, and apply each coat with care for consistent coverage and long‑lasting results.

We start by cleaning surfaces, scraping loose paint, repairing problem areas, priming where needed, and caulking gaps to help keep moisture out. We then apply premium exterior coatings using proven methods and careful attention to detail. Because we work throughout Mid‑Missouri, we schedule and plan your project with weather and cure time in mind so your finish performs the way it should.
