Painting in Market District
Market District is a central Des Moines neighborhood with a mix of early 1900s bungalows, converted warehouse lofts, and new townhomes along MLK Jr. Parkway. Whether your home has original wood siding, stucco, or brick, interior and exterior paint helps preserve its character while adapting to modern use. We prepare surfaces for the specific conditions here: scraping loose paint from century-old clapboard, priming iron porch columns to prevent rust, and using low-VOC paints for tight lofts with shared ventilation.
From refreshing the front porch of a Craftsman bungalow to repainting a multi-unit rental between tenants, our work is tailored to Market District’s block-by-block mix of owner-occupied and investment properties. Curb appeal matters on walkable streets like Sixth Avenue and opportunities to bring a faded facade back in line with the neighborhood’s historic character.
Why Market District Residents Trust Us
As a Des Moines company familiar with this area’s housing stock, we know which paints hold up on older plaster walls, how to match trim profiles common in early 1900s homes, and which exterior coatings resist Iowa’s freeze-thaw cycles on south-facing porches. Our painters protect inlaid wood floors typical of pre-war bungalows and secure painter’s plastic around loft windows that don’t open fully. We provide written estimates that break out prep, paint grade, and labor so you know what your project involves.
What to Expect
We start with a walkthrough of your Market District home to note specific surface conditions: cracked plaster, peeling paint from humidity near the river, or rusted ironwork. After you approve the estimate, we protect floors and furnishings, scrape loose paint, patch holes in plaster, and tape trim that matches your existing crown molding. We apply two full coats of paint, allowing proper drying time between them. We then clean up all debris—including paint chips that could contain lead if your home was built before 1978—and leave the space ready for you to move furniture back.
