I would recommend Headwaters to anyone looking for a high-quality painter that is affordable. They came in as the best rate out of all the beds that I did, and the end product is beautiful and high quality despite having a funky old house that is hard to paint.

Headwaters Painting did a very special project for our family. Everyone we worked with was so kind and friendly. We had a color consultation as well which was a fun and helpful experience. Our finished space looks amazing and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. They were able to complete the project in just one day. We would definitely recommend this company and would love to work with them again in the future. We are so grateful and happy with how this project turned out!

After researching my options, I chose Headwaters Painting to paint three bedrooms of my home. Some of them were major color transfers: pink to blue, purple to white, and orange to green. They used great judgment in determining the number of coats needed. For one of the rooms, I wanted to match the off-white color used elsewhere in my house, but I wasn’t sure what the exact color was. They did a perfect color match. Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend them to anyone.
Things that were excellent (5 stars):
Ease of estimate
Communication
Professionalism
Quality of work
Color matching to other paint in the home
The only thing that wasn’t perfect was that it was supposed to take 1 day and took 2. That’s it!
I’m very happy with the way everything looks and with everyone I communicated with. Alex, the project manager, went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. I would definitely use them again in the future.

Headwaters Painting did an amazing job on our cute little 110-year-old house. She looks brand new and completely dazzling!
From start to finish, the communication was what really set them apart. Alex was our lead coordinator, and when she had her wedding midway through the job, Ryan stepped in seamlessly. Miguel and the paint crew were great. Checking in and making sure our questions were answered. Every single person on the team was fast, friendly, and responsive.
Follow-up matters to me, and Headwaters proved they care about the final details by coming back to handle every little minor leftover thing. Outstanding work all around! we’d hire them again in a heartbeat.

The Headwaters painting crew led by Cristian did excellent work with our big interior paint job. Alex, our project manager, communicated with us several times a day to update us on the progress and let us know how everything was going. All aspects of the process went smoothly and the results are beautiful. We will definitely use Headwaters Painting again on our next project.

We recently had Headwaters Painting come to paint a large portion of the inside of our two story home. We used their color consultant, Mary, to identify the best color combinations for what we wanted to change. Headwaters worked with us on scheduling the job and were flexible in delaying the work until after our daughter's wedding in early October. (Given that is the beginning of their slow season, we actually got a discount). The crew arrived on time and completed the work quickly, accurately and ahead of schedule. They began by prepping the area by laying down coverings and using painters tape on wood. They patched holes and blemishes in the walls and sanded away a hand painted mural in our kitchen that we had grown tired of. They applied two coats of paint, which covered the color changes in several rooms. They cleaned up after themselves and the walls look great! And we didn't have to pay the invoice until the job was complete! The original estimate was accurate and the price was reasonable. We are very pleased with the result and highly recommend them!

We loved working with Headwaters. isaac and Pedro were on site every day and did an excellent job. They were so respectful of our house! Isaac handled the small amount of carpentry necessary and did such a great job we couldn't even tell where he did the work. Alex and KJ communicated with us every day to tell us what would be happening and when. Because they were so communicative, had we had any issues we would have been completely comfortable telling them about it. Headwaters also offers a color consult with Mary Fidler. I loved it because we picked three different colors and did the garage the opposite of the house. Mary typed up a document providing the exact colors and where they would be--negating any need for me to remember the names of all the architectural elements. Finally, our estimator was easy and not pushy. The only thing that might have made it easier is if we had had a paper estimate. I like being able to write my questions on the actual estimate rather than on a screen.

this was our third or fourth time hiring headwaters to help us finish our years-long basement remodel. to say we were happy with their service, quality, and communication would be an understatement. working with headwaters is always a breeze - before, during, and after. the crew doing the on site work were top notch, and their quality is unmatched. seeing the change from rough hung drywall with questionable installation from another contractor, to the final taped, mudded, and painted product was unbelievable. thank you again and as always, headwaters. we can't wait to work with you again!

We had an excellent experience with Headwaters Painting from the very first phone call to the last walk through at the end of the project. Alex, our Headwaters project manager, made the whole experience stress free with clear communication that put us at ease. She guided us through the process with clear information and positivity, and was fantastic. The rest of the Headwaters team I came in contact with, including Gina and Rachel in the office, were awesome to speak with, and the onsite painting crew led by Miguel was outstanding. We were also provided with continuous project updates from start to finish. Make your “one day a day one” by giving Headwaters a call when you’re considering your next painting project!

I recently hired on Headwaters Painting to fix up our dilapidated and peeling paint at one of our daycare centers. After it was all said and done I was so happy I chose this company. They did such an awesome job in making this building look brand new! Also, The level of communication was fanatastic, which is something that is fleeting with businesses these days, speaking from experience. If your home or business needs a paint job, do not hesitate. This is a great team to work with! Thanks!

We hired Headwaters Painting (Northeast Minneapolis) for a full exterior repaint of our stucco house, including fascia and soffits; plus painting our two-car garage to match, and carpentry work to replace rotted boards on the garage (which isn’t stucco). Our crew leads Alex and Kiara ran a great job alongside Cristina, Cristian, and Victor, with KJ as project manager.
The whole team was hardworking and detail-oriented. The quality and precision of the paint work really shows. They were also kind, approachable, and professional, and stayed flexible when we wanted to add things to the scope partway through. Pricing was fair compared to other quotes we got in the Minneapolis area.
Our house went from a blue-gray to Sherwin-Williams Alabaster on the stucco with Benjamin Moore Essex Green trim, and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. We’d absolutely use Headwaters again for future projects.

Headwaters Painting was EXCEPTIONAL! The salesperson was professional and gave us a great bid on our exterior project compared to 3 others. We had a deck project going on before the exterior paint, which took longer than anticipated, and Headwaters was SUPER flexible on the timing. Our project manager Alex was very personable, a great communicator, detail oriented and had terrific follow through. The paint crew were polite, responsive, careful and thorough. I would never use any other paint company!!!

This is my second time hiring Headwaters Painting and this time was to paint the exterior of my house which was very badly needed. They did an amazing job! They took good care when cleaning the peeling paint off of my old cedar shakes, took care of any foliage and yard around. They cleaned up every night perfectly and the house looks far better than anything my husband or I could have done ourselves. Thank you so much Headwaters! Hands down you are the company to hire!

The best team I have worked with in a long time. The exterior job was small compared to most, but they treated the communication, detail and results like it was the most important project they had that week. Jorge and Alex were excellent team lead and project manager. I never wondered what was going to happen. The cost of the project was a great value for the quality work start to finish. The best, low stress project experience.
Im definitely going to call Headwaters painting for future work.

Would you like to be listened to and cared for instead of frustrated and stressed during your home improvement project? Please consider Headwaters Painting for your next painting project. We have been in our home for almost 15 years and have made major and minor changes over that time with varying degrees of aggravation. After seeing we needed some TLC for the paint on our home's exterior I reached out to several handymen through Thumbtack, Google and even a personal referral. Many messages were left and not returned and one contractor kept making and canceling appointments, begging for another chance. Bless the algorithm because I saw an Instagram ad for Headwaters Painting after having to ask the contractor to stop contacting me. The woman in the ad felt like a friend talking to me. She promised to show up (gasp) on time and do a great job. I clicked on the ad, filled out the form indicating what I was looking for, and was contacted. We had a pleasant conversation and arranged to have an estimator come out. Jim was on time, lovely, and a good listener. He gave me an estimate and instructions for how to accept the offer when I decided. No pressure. No money paid until the work is completed and accepted by the homeowner. I promptly accepted and KJ, my project coordinator, reached out to ask me to select the paint colors they would need and communicated what the process was going to look like. After Bill at Sherwin Williams found the exact right color for me I was told they would contact me closer to the date they could start but likely the later half of June. To my surprise and delight I was contacted at the end of May, they had an opportunity to complete my project next week if I was available. A few days before painting time Dean came to power wash the house, then on time on the scheduled prep and repair day he came back to sand the trim and replace some rotting wood. One thing I didn't notice until after he had left was how unobtrusive he was. No loud music, cell phone conversations, ladder banging against the house, etc. The windows were open all morning and all I could hear was the tools as they were used. He left no messes behind.
On painting day Dean and James were on time and got right to work prepping and then painting. Unobtrusive again, the windows were open all day and they were pleasant remote company. They wrapped up and KJ came to review the work with me and could tell how pleased I was with the experience and asked me to leave a review. With pleasure KJ! I smiled as I wrote out the check this morning and hope my next project goes half as well as this one did.

We had a fantastic experience with this Headwaters Painting from start to finish. The crew did an excellent job and paid attention to every detail. They kept the work area clean throughout the project, were careful around our plants and landscaping, and treated our home with respect.
What really stood out was their communication. They took the time to answer all of our questions before the project started and continued to keep us informed throughout the process. Everything was straightforward, organized, and easy from beginning to end.
The quality of the work exceeded our expectations, and we're extremely happy with the results. I've already recommended them to several others and would gladly hire them again in the future.

Working with Headwaters was amazing! They really made the process of painting my 1947 home a streamlined and easy process. I’m so happy with the final product and my house has never looked so good! From day 1, communication has been excellent, the team has been friendly, and the results have been fabulous. The prices were very reasonable, a color consultation was included, the team was very thorough, took amazing care of my property, and was great at keeping me informed of each step of their process. PLUS: Headwaters is a locally and family-owned business! Overall, 10/10 would recommend you connect with Headwaters for your next painting project! It definitely exceeded expectations and was MUCH easier than fumbling a DIY job! Thanks, Headwaters! I’m very excited to enjoy my refreshed outdoor space this summer!

Headwaters Painting was a great team to work with from start to finish. The estimate appointment was accurate and easy, scheduling was straightforward, and everything moved forward exactly as outlined. Their project manager stayed in consistent communication—keeping me updated, coordinating the crew, and making sure nothing slipped through the cracks. The project stayed on schedule, the job site was kept clean throughout, and the final walkthrough was thorough. Their crews are professional, respectful and detail oriented.
As an interior designer who has worked with many companies, they quickly became my go-to partner for all of my projects. Overall, they’re kind, honest, and operate with a high level of integrity. I would absolutely recommend them.

Headwaters team was great to meet & work with, from the initial review & estimate with Jim & Ryan to the project manager KJ, who kept on top of the progress & any issue that came up. And finally to Cristian & his crew who handled the day to day work, (board & batten & painting). The issues were minor & were handled immediately ensuring the finished product was as we had hoped. Their color consultant was an added benefit that helped in coordinating the color palette. I would highly recommend them and will do so!

What an interesting experience. We have always painted our own rooms, but getting up in age we decided to hire Headwaters Painting. After our initial walk through explaining what we would like done we received our estimate the next day. We hired Headwaters Painting that day. We did a preliminary walk through with the lead painter and the painting began with a great crew. In a day and a half they were done to our complete satisfaction. I would recommend this group and will definitely use them again.

After my second project (second house) of painting experience with Headwaters Painting, I am even more convinced there is no other company that matches its standard of excellence. Its pricing is fair, its project staff is responsive and efficient in providing a bid, scheduling the job and maintaining constant contact throughout the project. I cannot praise the three members of the painting crew enough. They were considerate, professional, friendly, and went overboard to not disrupt my life as much as possible even though they were painting the entire interior of the house. I highly recommend Headwaters Painting.

My experience with Headwaters Painting was great from start to finish. The estimation process with Kiel was clear and easy and I got a detailed estimate with plenty of options to customize the service where I hadn't quite made up my mind. Once I accepted the estimate, I was passed on to a great project manager, KJ, who shared useful details without overwhelming me, and I was able to select a start date that worked well for me. The 90min color consultation was wonderful, and Mary helped me select colors that I am super happy with, and avoid the stress I'd feel doing that without guidance. Days before my project, I took artwork down and cleared some clutter, but Cristian and his crew of painters did the rest. They worked quickly and efficiently, and my entire house got a fresh paint job is just 2 days. They did an excellent job on the painting itself - crips lines and even coats everywhere. As they cleaned up, they helped me put furniture back, and even rehung a coatrack that would have been a nightmare for me to do on my own. KJ was in touch every day that the team was working, and stopped by early on and right at the end to make sure everything was in order.
I highly recommend Headwaters Painting to anyone who needs a fresh coat of paint or new colors, and can't/doesn't want to take it on themselves. They were professional, fast, and skilled! I'll be having them back for some outdoor painting as soon as the weather warms up.

We hired Headwaters to paint the walls in our offices and lounge; what we got was a rejuvenation of our space!
Headwaters provided professional, knowledgeable support across the entire project from their initial quote to the final walk-through. We especially appreciated their support when it came to picking the most eco-friendly option for our space. For us, they repaired drywall, removed unwanted wall fixtures, and painted a large meeting room, three offices, a kitchen, and a hallway--all in just two days. The communication and clarity was top-tier, the professionalism was excellent, and the work itself was game-changing for our space.
Thank you so much to Kiel, KJ, Jose, and the crew! We're extremely happy with the final result, and can't recommend Headwaters enough!

Headwater Painting was top notch from start to finish! From the first initial meeting and estimate, to the complimentary color consult (which was such a bonus!!), to the efficient and thorough painting team and staff who regularly checked in to monitor the progress—everything was a 10/10! The team’s clean up was amazing—and my walls have a beautiful new color! I highly recommend this local NE business!!

Headwaters Painting did a great job painting the exterior of our house. The process from start to finish was outstanding. The estimator was detailed and clearly explained the process. The painting crew was very careful and thorough with our very intricate 1910 house. We were given frequent updates about their progress. Their team is superior to other painters we've used in the past. They are competitively priced and our house turned out great. Would definitely use again.

We hired Headwaters Painting to paint the exterior of our wood-shingled house and garage. The existing paint was 10yrs old and had received a lot of sun exposure so it was peeling in many areas. Headwaters did a fantastic job scraping and prepping the shingles to ensure a pristine finish. They also referred us to a contractor to help with some minor repairs we needed on the garage siding in advance of painting. They were incredibly flexible in coordinating the schedules so both projects could get done in just a couple weeks - even with all the rain we got this summer. Communication was excellent! KJ and Cristian were great teammates and gave me regular updates on status and timing. I would absolutely work with them again.

I would recommend Headwaters to anyone looking for a high-quality painter that is affordable. They came in as the best rate out of all the beds that I did, and the end product is beautiful and high quality despite having a funky old house that is hard to paint.

Headwaters Painting did a very special project for our family. Everyone we worked with was so kind and friendly. We had a color consultation as well which was a fun and helpful experience. Our finished space looks amazing and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. They were able to complete the project in just one day. We would definitely recommend this company and would love to work with them again in the future. We are so grateful and happy with how this project turned out!

After researching my options, I chose Headwaters Painting to paint three bedrooms of my home. Some of them were major color transfers: pink to blue, purple to white, and orange to green. They used great judgment in determining the number of coats needed. For one of the rooms, I wanted to match the off-white color used elsewhere in my house, but I wasn’t sure what the exact color was. They did a perfect color match. Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend them to anyone.
Things that were excellent (5 stars):
Ease of estimate
Communication
Professionalism
Quality of work
Color matching to other paint in the home
The only thing that wasn’t perfect was that it was supposed to take 1 day and took 2. That’s it!
I’m very happy with the way everything looks and with everyone I communicated with. Alex, the project manager, went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. I would definitely use them again in the future.

Headwaters Painting did an amazing job on our cute little 110-year-old house. She looks brand new and completely dazzling!
From start to finish, the communication was what really set them apart. Alex was our lead coordinator, and when she had her wedding midway through the job, Ryan stepped in seamlessly. Miguel and the paint crew were great. Checking in and making sure our questions were answered. Every single person on the team was fast, friendly, and responsive.
Follow-up matters to me, and Headwaters proved they care about the final details by coming back to handle every little minor leftover thing. Outstanding work all around! we’d hire them again in a heartbeat.

We recently had Headwaters Painting come to paint a large portion of the inside of our two story home. We used their color consultant, Mary, to identify the best color combinations for what we wanted to change. Headwaters worked with us on scheduling the job and were flexible in delaying the work until after our daughter's wedding in early October. (Given that is the beginning of their slow season, we actually got a discount). The crew arrived on time and completed the work quickly, accurately and ahead of schedule. They began by prepping the area by laying down coverings and using painters tape on wood. They patched holes and blemishes in the walls and sanded away a hand painted mural in our kitchen that we had grown tired of. They applied two coats of paint, which covered the color changes in several rooms. They cleaned up after themselves and the walls look great! And we didn't have to pay the invoice until the job was complete! The original estimate was accurate and the price was reasonable. We are very pleased with the result and highly recommend them!

We loved working with Headwaters. isaac and Pedro were on site every day and did an excellent job. They were so respectful of our house! Isaac handled the small amount of carpentry necessary and did such a great job we couldn't even tell where he did the work. Alex and KJ communicated with us every day to tell us what would be happening and when. Because they were so communicative, had we had any issues we would have been completely comfortable telling them about it. Headwaters also offers a color consult with Mary Fidler. I loved it because we picked three different colors and did the garage the opposite of the house. Mary typed up a document providing the exact colors and where they would be--negating any need for me to remember the names of all the architectural elements. Finally, our estimator was easy and not pushy. The only thing that might have made it easier is if we had had a paper estimate. I like being able to write my questions on the actual estimate rather than on a screen.

We had an excellent experience with Headwaters Painting from the very first phone call to the last walk through at the end of the project. Alex, our Headwaters project manager, made the whole experience stress free with clear communication that put us at ease. She guided us through the process with clear information and positivity, and was fantastic. The rest of the Headwaters team I came in contact with, including Gina and Rachel in the office, were awesome to speak with, and the onsite painting crew led by Miguel was outstanding. We were also provided with continuous project updates from start to finish. Make your “one day a day one” by giving Headwaters a call when you’re considering your next painting project!

We hired Headwaters Painting (Northeast Minneapolis) for a full exterior repaint of our stucco house, including fascia and soffits; plus painting our two-car garage to match, and carpentry work to replace rotted boards on the garage (which isn’t stucco). Our crew leads Alex and Kiara ran a great job alongside Cristina, Cristian, and Victor, with KJ as project manager.
The whole team was hardworking and detail-oriented. The quality and precision of the paint work really shows. They were also kind, approachable, and professional, and stayed flexible when we wanted to add things to the scope partway through. Pricing was fair compared to other quotes we got in the Minneapolis area.
Our house went from a blue-gray to Sherwin-Williams Alabaster on the stucco with Benjamin Moore Essex Green trim, and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. We’d absolutely use Headwaters again for future projects.

Would you like to be listened to and cared for instead of frustrated and stressed during your home improvement project? Please consider Headwaters Painting for your next painting project. We have been in our home for almost 15 years and have made major and minor changes over that time with varying degrees of aggravation. After seeing we needed some TLC for the paint on our home's exterior I reached out to several handymen through Thumbtack, Google and even a personal referral. Many messages were left and not returned and one contractor kept making and canceling appointments, begging for another chance. Bless the algorithm because I saw an Instagram ad for Headwaters Painting after having to ask the contractor to stop contacting me. The woman in the ad felt like a friend talking to me. She promised to show up (gasp) on time and do a great job. I clicked on the ad, filled out the form indicating what I was looking for, and was contacted. We had a pleasant conversation and arranged to have an estimator come out. Jim was on time, lovely, and a good listener. He gave me an estimate and instructions for how to accept the offer when I decided. No pressure. No money paid until the work is completed and accepted by the homeowner. I promptly accepted and KJ, my project coordinator, reached out to ask me to select the paint colors they would need and communicated what the process was going to look like. After Bill at Sherwin Williams found the exact right color for me I was told they would contact me closer to the date they could start but likely the later half of June. To my surprise and delight I was contacted at the end of May, they had an opportunity to complete my project next week if I was available. A few days before painting time Dean came to power wash the house, then on time on the scheduled prep and repair day he came back to sand the trim and replace some rotting wood. One thing I didn't notice until after he had left was how unobtrusive he was. No loud music, cell phone conversations, ladder banging against the house, etc. The windows were open all morning and all I could hear was the tools as they were used. He left no messes behind.
On painting day Dean and James were on time and got right to work prepping and then painting. Unobtrusive again, the windows were open all day and they were pleasant remote company. They wrapped up and KJ came to review the work with me and could tell how pleased I was with the experience and asked me to leave a review. With pleasure KJ! I smiled as I wrote out the check this morning and hope my next project goes half as well as this one did.

After our initial walk through explaining what we would like done we received our estimate the next day. We hired Headwaters Painting that day.

After my second project (second house) of painting experience with Headwaters Painting, I am even more convinced there is no other company that matches its standard of excellence. Its pricing is fair, its project staff is responsive and efficient in providing a bid, scheduling the job and maintaining constant contact throughout the project. I cannot praise the three members of the painting crew enough. They were considerate, professional, friendly, and went overboard to not disrupt my life as much as possible even though they were painting the entire interior of the house. I highly recommend Headwaters Painting.

My experience with Headwaters Painting was great from start to finish. The estimation process with Kiel was clear and easy and I got a detailed estimate with plenty of options to customize the service where I hadn't quite made up my mind. Once I accepted the estimate, I was passed on to a great project manager, KJ, who shared useful details without overwhelming me, and I was able to select a start date that worked well for me. The 90min color consultation was wonderful, and Mary helped me select colors that I am super happy with, and avoid the stress I'd feel doing that without guidance. Days before my project, I took artwork down and cleared some clutter, but Cristian and his crew of painters did the rest. They worked quickly and efficiently, and my entire house got a fresh paint job is just 2 days. They did an excellent job on the painting itself - crips lines and even coats everywhere. As they cleaned up, they helped me put furniture back, and even rehung a coatrack that would have been a nightmare for me to do on my own. KJ was in touch every day that the team was working, and stopped by early on and right at the end to make sure everything was in order.
I highly recommend Headwaters Painting to anyone who needs a fresh coat of paint or new colors, and can't/doesn't want to take it on themselves. They were professional, fast, and skilled! I'll be having them back for some outdoor painting as soon as the weather warms up.

We especially appreciated their support when it came to picking the most eco-friendly option for our space. For us, they repaired drywall, removed unwanted wall fixtures, and painted a large meeting room, three offices, a kitchen, and a hallway--all in just two days. The communication and clarity was top-tier, the professionalism was excellent, and the work itself was game-changing for our space.
Thank you so much to Kiel, KJ, Jose, and the crew! We're extremely happy with the final result, and can't recommend Headwaters enough!

Headwater Painting was top notch from start to finish! From the first initial meeting and estimate, to the complimentary color consult (which was such a bonus!!), to the efficient and thorough painting team and staff who regularly checked in to monitor the progress—everything was a 10/10! The team’s clean up was amazing—and my walls have a beautiful new color! I highly recommend this local NE business!!

Headwaters Painting did a great job painting the exterior of our house. The process from start to finish was outstanding. The estimator was detailed and clearly explained the process. The painting crew was very careful and thorough with our very intricate 1910 house. We were given frequent updates about their progress. Their team is superior to other painters we've used in the past. They are competitively priced and our house turned out great. Would definitely use again.

We hired Headwaters Painting to paint the exterior of our wood-shingled house and garage. The existing paint was 10yrs old and had received a lot of sun exposure so it was peeling in many areas. Headwaters did a fantastic job scraping and prepping the shingles to ensure a pristine finish. They also referred us to a contractor to help with some minor repairs we needed on the garage siding in advance of painting. They were incredibly flexible in coordinating the schedules so both projects could get done in just a couple weeks - even with all the rain we got this summer. Communication was excellent! KJ and Cristian were great teammates and gave me regular updates on status and timing. I would absolutely work with them again.

We had a fantastic experience with Headwaters Painting! Ryan was responsive in getting us a quote and working within our budget, PM Max kept us in the loop on progress daily, and Christian and his team did a great job. They were thorough and detailed. Would hire again for sure!
We’ve worked with Headwaters twice now and each time its been an exceptional experience. Ryan and Danielle are incredibly professional and responsive and have made all of our projects run smoothly with beautiful results. I couldn’t recommend them more!
From initial consult to final product, I could not be happier with my experience with Headwaters Painting! Ryan was so communicative throughout the entire project, making sure he and the team understood my expectations and keeping me updated as the project progressed. The attention to detail on my exterior project was phenomenal – would not hesitate to recommend Headwaters!

Color consultation
We were referred to Headwaters Painting and they did not disappoint! They were very professional, thorough with their estimate and process, provided FREE color consultation and did a quality job. Their project manager Max always stayed in contact during the process and the crew onsite were detail oriented and always seeing that our needs were met. They were very competitively priced and worth every penny! Thank you Headwaters!
WOW! What an incredible experience. If you are looking for a painter…STOP! This is the painter you want…without a doubt!
From start to finish Headwaters painting was the pinnacle of professional. It was so refreshing to have a REAL interior designer help us choose colors and lend other ideas. The crew was super clean and finished in one day! Incredible!
In addition to using a solid stain on the exterior there was some wood siding that needed to be replaced. The team led by Christian did a great job! Our project got off to a good start with the help of your color consultant, Mary. The amount of prep work was managed quickly and the project was done in a very timely manner. The house looks great! Thank you for a job well done. We very much appreciate your thoroughness Ryan.
…We also really appreciated the color consult, as we would have had no idea where to start in terms of picking colors. The consultant asked a lot of good question in advance and when she met with us, had a great, curated selection of colors that were along the lines of what we were looking for, which helped us narrow things down and make quick choices. We would definitely recommend Headwaters.
We had a fantastic experience with Headwaters from start to finish for our interior paint project, and I would HIGHLY recommend them! They had a really competitive price point, worked with our timeline, and were 100% timely and communicative. Working with the color consultant was a huge bonus, and a lot of fun, too! The work was completed really well, and the final walk-through made sure that every detail was attended to, and that we were 100% satisfied. And, I love that they’re local and family-owned, too!
Great communication
The Headwaters Painting team was very professional from start to finish. Their communication was top notch. We had some tricky ceiling patching that needed to be done and the final result looks great. We highly recommend this company.
Headwaters painting was professional, communicative, and high quality beginning to end. So happy with the results. This is our second time hiring them and it won’t be our last.
The Headwaters Painting Team was excellent to work with and I would highly recommend them!! They were great communicators and genuinely cared about the quality of the project. The team was very hard working, respectful and detail-oriented. We appreciated their flexibility in working around our needs. We will definitely hire them again for any future projects!
Headwaters was impressive from start to finish of our exterior painting project. I was impressed by their organization and communication as we worked through the estimating and planning phases. Their crew arrived on time, was extraordinarily thorough with prep work, attentive to detail during the painting phase, and did a great job with cleanup when the work was finished.
Ryan and Danie were extremely responsive as I did this project while living out of town. Easy to schedule with and their painter even helped my mother carry a heavy dehumidifier out of the basement! Really happy with the result and the service was great.

I found Headwaters Painting through an internet search. The website for this small Ryan, Matt, and Jose’s painting crew were extremely courteous, clear, professional, timely and performed to high standards. I plan to work with them again for additional painting work in my home.
I had dining/kitchen/living room and entire basement (three rooms) walls and ceiling painted. The work was completed in less than two business days and looks fantastic.
I have no reservations recommending this company to my friends and I plan to use them again in the near future.
Headwaters did a great job on the work they did. we are so happy we decided on them for our project. the communication with ryan and danie was top notch and all of our questions were answered so promptly. the work, people, and communication couldn’t be better. all around fantastic!
Ryan and Danie were great to work with. Their responsiveness and service were exceptional. We were kept informed every step, the end result of our complete exterior painting job turned out beautifully.
The crew from Headwaters Painting was organized and hard working. Our home and yard were clean and neat every night after the crew left.
Neighbors have commented how considerate the entire crew was and how great our home looks.
We would recommend Headwaters Painting without reservation.
Ryan, Danie and the Headwaters team were fantastic. They painted our exterior and it’s amazing how much of a difference it made. The team was efficient and extremely professional. We ended up being out of town for most of the painting, however we had multiple neighbors tell us how professional the crew was. Every interaction we had with the team was positive.
Ryan and his team rock. Love the work, professional yet down to earth attitude, and the awesome follow through and the communication. One of his guys accidentally broke a toilet seat (it was cheap and needed to be replaced anyways) and Ryan immediately told me about it and replaced it for no extra cost. That’s called amazing customer service. Most contractors are great until something goes wrong, then you find out their character, and Ryan and his team are painters with integrity.
