Painting in Drake
Drake’s tree-lined streets and historic homes—including bungalows, cottages, Victorian, and Craftsman-style houses—require painting that respects their character. Plaster walls, wood siding, and original trim demand careful surface preparation and paint systems suited to Iowa’s freeze-thaw cycles. Proper scraping, patching, and priming are essential for longevity in this neighborhood, whether you are refreshing a rental near Drake University or restoring a century-old facade. We focus on preserving architectural details while achieving clean lines and durable finishes.
Des Moines Painting Company has experience working in Drake’s older homes and newer infill projects. We know the common issues: matching historic paint colors, preserving woodwork, and protecting plaster from moisture. Our crew is familiar with Drake’s typical layouts—narrow hallways, second-story eaves, and tight crawl spaces—so we minimize disruption to your daily routine. We also understand the importance of coordinating color schemes that fit the neighborhood’s existing palette, from pale yellows to deep greens often seen on Drake’s blocks.
Why Drake Residents Trust Us
Because we work in Drake regularly, we know the local building styles and the small details that matter, such as respecting neighborhood color trends and protecting hardwood floors during interior work. Before starting, we walk through your property, discuss your specific goals, and outline a plan that accounts for Drake’s unique architecture. We use quality materials and take time to prep surfaces—caulk gaps, prime bare wood, and patch plaster—so the finish holds up through Iowa winters. Our crew arrives as scheduled, keeps the workspace clean, and answers questions as they come up.
What to Expect
Every Drake project begins with a detailed walk-through. We inspect your home’s exterior siding, trim, and windows to identify areas needing extra attention, such as peeling paint or cracks in plaster. We discuss color options that complement the neighborhood’s character. After you approve a plan, we prepare surfaces—scraping, sanding, caulking, and priming—then apply two coats of premium paint. For exteriors, we schedule around Iowa’s weather, working during dry periods. For interiors, we move furniture, cover floors, and seal off rooms to contain dust. After the final coat, we clean up thoroughly and do a walk-through with you to confirm you’re satisfied.
