What Can We Help You Paint?

Whether you searched for house painters near you, exterior painters, interior painting, cabinet painting, deck staining, or a trusted local painting company, this page gives you the full Empire picture without making you wander through the entire website.

Imagine the after

Pulling into the driveway, walking into the kitchen, or opening your business and thinking, “That looks incredible.”

Fresh paint is more than color. It is pride, comfort, curb appeal, and confidence that the job was handled by people you can trust.

Since 2003 is not a slogan. It is a real local story. Dan Brooks has spent more than two decades building Empire around trust, preparation, and work homeowners feel good about when the job is finished.

Real Waukesha Transformation

This is the kind of after people remember.

Exterior painting is part beauty, part protection, and part pride. This Waukesha home went from faded and worn to sharp, rich, and completely refreshed — the kind of project that makes you slow down when you pull into the driveway.
