Front door finishing, interior painting and cabinet painting in Mequon.
Larger homes on larger land, with the extensive trim packages and substantial kitchens that come with them. Small to medium jobs are our sweet spot, though we take the bigger ones too.
Mequon is a different scale from the rest of the North Shore. Lots are measured in acres rather than feet, houses are correspondingly larger, and the interiors typically carry a great deal more millwork — crown, wainscot, coffered ceilings, built-in cabinetry and substantial staircases.
That volume of trim changes the arithmetic of a job. In a compact bungalow, the trim is a detail at the end of an interior repaint. In a Mequon home the trim package is often the majority of the work, and whether it’s brushed or sprayed makes an enormous difference to both the timeline and the result.
Kitchens here are substantial too, frequently with an island, a butler’s pantry and thirty or forty doors and drawer fronts. Refinishing at that scale is a serious undertaking, but so is the alternative — and the cost gap between refinishing and replacing widens as the kitchen gets bigger.
Twenty minutes north
Mequon is an easy run north from Good Hope Road. For larger projects we stage the work so the house stays livable, rather than turning the whole ground floor into a job site at once.

What we get asked for most in Mequon
Scale
On a big trim package, spraying pays for itself.
Brushing trim is slow, and it scales linearly — twice the trim is twice the hours. Spraying carries a fixed setup cost in masking and containment, but once that’s done the rate of work is far higher.
There’s a crossover point, and on a Mequon-sized trim package it’s usually passed comfortably. Spraying ends up quicker and produces a better finish, which isn’t a trade-off you often get to make.
The same logic applies to a large kitchen. Thirty-plus cabinet fronts sprayed flat in the booth, in dust-free conditions, in batches, is a far more efficient process than brushing each one in place — and it’s the only way to get a genuinely uniform finish across that many pieces.
Questions
Common questions in Mequon
How long does a full trim package actually take?
Longer than the painting alone would suggest, because the masking is the job. On a house with extensive millwork, preparation and protection can account for more than half the total hours — which is also why the result looks different from a brush-and-roller repaint.
Do you spray inside the house on a job that size?
Yes, with the room sealed and extracted properly. On a large trim package, spraying is what keeps the finish identical from the first door to the last, and at that scale the masking is worth doing once and doing properly. Doors and anything else removable come off and go into the portable booth, which stays on site for the duration.
Can a large job be split into phases?
Usually the sensible way to do it. Most jobs of this size get split so the house stays livable — kitchen and main rooms in one phase, bedrooms and secondary spaces in another. The estimate is itemized by phase, so you can also stop after the first one if you want to.
