Serving Southeastern Wisconsin With Professional Painting Since 2003
Empire Painting has been providing professional painting services to homeowners and businesses throughout Milwaukee, Lake Country, and surrounding Southeast Wisconsin communities for more than two decades.
Founded in 2003, the company was built on the idea that homeowners deserve a painting contractor who communicates clearly, prepares surfaces properly, and stands behind their work. Since the beginning, Empire Painting has focused on delivering consistent results through careful preparation, quality materials, and organized project management.
Today the company continues to serve the Greater Milwaukee area with the same goal: delivering painting projects that homeowners feel confident recommending to their neighbors.
A Local Painting Company Built on Experience
Empire Painting works with homeowners and businesses throughout Southeast Wisconsin on a wide range of painting projects, including interior painting, exterior repainting, cabinet refinishing, and exterior wood staining.
Many homes in the Milwaukee and Lake Country region feature a variety of exterior materials such as cedar siding, aluminum siding, and fiber cement. Empire Painting’s experience working with these materials allows the team to properly prepare surfaces and apply coatings that perform well in Wisconsin’s climate.
Preparation remains a major focus of every project, because the longevity of a paint job depends on the work completed before paint is ever applied.
Owner – Dan Brooks
Dan Brooks founded Empire Painting in 2003 after spending several years working in the painting trade and gaining professional experience in the field.
Through that experience, Dan developed a strong understanding of the preparation, materials, and processes required to deliver high-quality results. He started Empire Painting to provide homeowners throughout the Greater Milwaukee area with a contractor focused on honest communication and quality workmanship.
Dan remains closely involved in the business today and personally writes estimates for both homeowners and builders. His hands-on approach helps ensure each project is carefully evaluated and that customers receive clear recommendations based on years of experience.
Outside of work, Dan is the proud father of two young daughters.
Foreman – Jeff Jacobs
Jeff Jacobs has been part of the Empire Painting team since nearly the beginning and plays a key role in overseeing field operations.
With decades of experience in the trade, Jeff is known for his attention to detail and his commitment to completing projects correctly, efficiently, and safely. He works closely with the crew and project managers to ensure each job stays organized and progresses smoothly.
In addition to his leadership on job sites, Jeff brings valuable carpentry and painting experience that helps deliver the polished results Empire Painting is known for.
Customers often notice Jeff’s professionalism and dedication to getting the job done right.
A Structured Approach to Painting Projects
Empire Painting believes that successful projects come from organization, preparation, and communication.

This structured process allows the company to:
- Provide clear estimates and project scopes
- Coordinate scheduling efficiently
- Maintain communication with clients throughout the job
- Deliver consistent results across projects
