A Local Painting Company Built on Communication, Prep & Accountability
Empire Painting was founded by Dan Brooks with a simple belief: homeowners deserve a painting contractor who communicates clearly, prepares surfaces properly, and stands behind the work.
Today, Empire combines experienced painters with office support, project management, and organized production oversight so your project feels easier from estimate to final walkthrough.

Need an Exterior Painting Quote Specifically?
The residential page is the big-picture hub. If your project is mainly exterior painting, siding, trim, doors, shutters, deck staining, or Wisconsin-weather prep, the dedicated exterior estimate page gives homeowners the fastest path to that specific conversation.
It is built for exterior painting intent, but still gives people options to schedule, call, ask a question, or start with photos if they are still researching.
A Clear Residential Painting Estimate Without the Guesswork
Whether you are planning an exterior repaint, interior refresh, cabinet update, or a larger home painting project, Empire Painting gives you a clear process before work begins.
We look at surfaces, prep needs, timing, colors, access, and project details so you understand what is included, what to expect, and how the project will be handled.
Most Estimates Take 45–60 Minutes
Smaller projects may take around 45 minutes, typical estimates average about an hour, and larger projects may take up to 90 minutes. For most projects, Empire Painting reviews the scope and pricing on-site so you are not left waiting days for a quote.
We Review the Project Details
Exterior siding, trim, doors, interiors, cabinets, woodwork, staining, prep concerns, timelines, and color goals are reviewed before pricing.
You Get a Clear Written Scope
Your estimate explains the work being completed, prep involved, areas included, project expectations, and next steps.
No Deposit Required
Empire Painting does not collect payment before the job begins. You pay when the project is complete.
Prep Comes First
Cleaning, scraping, sanding, caulking, priming, masking, protection, and surface preparation are planned before paint goes on.
Color Guidance Is Included
Get help thinking through colors that fit your home, lighting, exterior style, interior finishes, and project goals.
Clear Communication Continues
Once the project is underway, office support, project management, and crew communication help keep the job organized through completion.
