We have completed nearly 250 painting projects in Minnetonka since 2018. The city's wooded lots and larger homes mean a lot of cedar, a lot of stain and a lot of shade, all of which change how an exterior should be prepped and finished.
Minnetonka homes are typically 1960s to 1990s two-stories and walkouts on heavily treed lots, with cedar lap, cedar shake or redwood siding and stained trim. Shade and tree cover mean siding stays damp longer and grows mildew, so a thorough wash with a mildewcide and proper dry time before coating matters more here than in open suburbs. Stained cedar that has gone gray usually needs a solid stain or a primed paint system, and we will tell you which.
Newer neighborhoods near Ridgedale and along Minnetonka Boulevard add stucco and fiber-cement exteriors, and lakeside homes near Gray's Bay and Libbs Lake bring larger, higher-end projects. Interior repaints and cabinet work are steady year-round.
Full exteriors on stucco, cedar, lap and shake siding, with lead-safe prep on pre-1978 homes.
Cedar siding, decks and entries in transparent through solid stains.
Oxidation wash, crack patching and a masonry-rated coating that breathes.
Walls, ceilings, trim and doors, scheduled around how you live in the house.
Sprayed factory-style finishes on kitchen and bath cabinets.
Rotted sills, trim, porch parts and siding rebuilt before the painters start.
Over the last two seasons the middle half of our Minnetonka exterior projects ran from $4,150 to $11,180, with a median of $7,190. What moves the number is size, siding type, carpentry and whether the home is pre-1978 and needs lead-safe prep.
Residential exterior projects we completed in Minnetonka, 2025 through September 2026 (n=37). Every project is priced on site; these are the real range, not a quote.
The middle half of our Minnetonka exteriors over the last two seasons ran from about $4,150 to $11,180, median $7,190. Larger cedar homes with full stain and carpentry run higher.
Yes, if the prep is right. We wash with a mildewcide, allow proper dry time, and use an exterior acrylic with mildew resistance. Trimming back vegetation that touches the siding also helps the finish last.
If it still shows grain and was stained before, a semi-transparent or semi-solid stain keeps the look. Painted or badly weathered cedar does better with a solid stain or primed paint. We inspect the boards and recommend one, and price both if you want to compare.
Yes. Our carpentry crew replaces soft boards, trim and window sills before painting. Small repairs are hourly; larger ones get a fixed carpentry bid first.
On pre-1978 homes, possibly, and many 1960s and early 70s homes here qualify. We test and itemize lead-safe prep on the proposal for any pre-1978 house.
An estimator comes to the house, measures it, checks for lead and rot, and leaves you a printed proposal with the prep steps itemized. No pressure and no obligation.
