Why Burnsville Homeowners Choose Pettis Painting for Exterior Work

Exterior painting in Minnesota isn’t just about color, it’s about protection. The wrong prep or the wrong product means peeling, cracking, and moisture damage within a few years. Pettis Painting’s exterior crew understands what Burnsville homes need: thorough surface prep that removes loose paint, mildew, and oxidation. Caulking and sealing of gaps around windows, doors, and trim joints. Weather-rated exterior coatings from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore designed for Dakota County’s temperature swings. And a two-coat application process that delivers even coverage and a durable finish. We’ve painted split-levels along Nicollet Avenue, colonials near Crystal Lake, and townhomes in Heart of the City, each one prepped and coated to handle everything Minnesota throws at it.

Our Exterior Painting Process: Built for Minnesota Homes

Power Washing & Surface Prep

We start every exterior project with a thorough power wash to strip away dirt, mildew, chalking paint, and winter salt buildup. Then we scrape, sand, and feather loose or peeling paint to create a clean, sound surface for coating.

Caulking, Patching & Priming

We inspect and re-caulk around windows, doors, and trim joints to seal out moisture. Any wood rot, nail holes, or surface damage is patched and sanded smooth. We apply a bonding primer to bare wood, repaired areas, and any surface that needs extra adhesion support.

Two-Coat Exterior Application

Our crew applies two full coats of weather-rated exterior paint from Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore. We use brushes for trim and detail work and spray or roll body sections for even, consistent coverage.

Detail Work & Quality Check

We cut clean lines along trim edges, window casings, and fascia. After the final coat cures, we inspect the entire home for missed spots, drips, or inconsistencies — and address them before calling the project done.

Cleanup & Final Walkthrough

We remove all masking, drop cloths, and materials from your property. Your crew foreman conducts a final walkthrough with you to confirm every surface meets our standard and your expectations.

Whether you’re repainting before listing your Burnsville home, refreshing curb appeal after a long winter, or protecting a new build’s exterior, Pettis Painting makes the process easy. We handle the prep, the paint, and the cleanup, and we stand behind our work.

PROTECTION THAT LOOKS AS GOOD AS IT PERFORMS

Ryan Pettis started painting exteriors with his great uncle when he was 15 years old — learning the hard way that Minnesota weather doesn’t forgive shortcuts. A decade later, that lesson drives everything about how Pettis Painting approaches exterior work. We don’t just put paint on a house. We power wash away years of buildup, scrape and sand every failing edge, caulk every gap where moisture could get in, and apply two coats of premium exterior coating rated for our climate. The result? A finish that protects your home’s wood, fiber cement, or vinyl siding for years, not just a season. Burnsville homeowners call us back because the work holds up.

How to Prepare for Your Exterior Painting Project

To ensure a successful painting project, please follow the guidelines below:

Remove Objects:

Please remove any objects that are on or touching the area we will be painting or staining.

Clear Surrounding Area:

Remove any moveable items within 5 feet of the painting area, such as flower pots, yard decor, etc. Foliage should be cut back a minimum of 2’ from the areas being coated. This is especially important for the body of the structure.

Vehicle Parking:

If we are painting the front of your house, please park your vehicles in the garage, on the street, or at the end of the driveway.

Move Outdoor Furniture:

Please move any chairs away from the project area.

Clear Steps:

Remove any items from the steps leading to the project area (decks, porches) for the duration of the project.

Bee & Wasp Nests:

Please ensure any/all Bee or Wasps nests are removed from the property at least 2 weeks prior to start date, whether they are active or not.

Thanks for taking the time to prep, it makes a big difference in the quality and speed of your exterior project. Questions before we start? Call or text us anytime at (612) 268-6218.
