Choosing a painting contractor is an important decision. The quality of preparation, materials, and workmanship directly affects how your home or business looks and how well the paint performs over time.
Empire Painting has been serving homeowners & businesses throughout Milwaukee, Lake Country, and surrounding Southeast Wisconsin communities for more than two decades. Our company focuses on delivering consistent results through careful preparation, professional communication, and structured project management.
We understand that many homeowners & businesses have had frustrating experiences with contractors in the past. Our goal is to provide a professional, organized approach that makes the process straightforward from estimate to completion.
A Professional Approach to Painting Projects
Empire Painting operates with systems and processes that help ensure projects run smoothly and clients stay informed throughout the job.
Unlike many contractors that operate with minimal organization, Empire maintains a structured approach that includes office staff, project coordination, and clear communication.
This allows us to deliver consistent results while keeping homeowners & businesses informed about scheduling, progress, and next steps.
Customer Satisfaction Comes Before Profit
One of the guiding principles behind Empire Painting is that customer satisfaction comes first.
We believe the success of our business depends on doing the job properly and standing behind our work. If something needs attention, we address it.
Most importantly, Empire Painting does not collect payment until the project is completed and the customer is satisfied with the results.
Experience Matters
Empire Painting has been serving Southeast Wisconsin homeowners & businesses for more than 20 years. Over that time our team has completed a wide range of projects including interior painting, exterior repainting, cabinet refinishing, and wood staining.
Our experience includes working with many common exterior surfaces found in Wisconsin homes & businesses, including:
- Cedar siding
- Aluminum siding
- Fiber cement / Hardie siding
- Exterior trim and wood features
Understanding how these materials perform allows us to properly prepare surfaces and apply coatings that last.
Preparation Is the Key to Long-Lasting Results
High-quality paint products are important, but the durability of a paint job depends heavily on the preparation work completed before painting begins.
Empire Painting places strong emphasis on preparation, which may include:
- Cleaning surfaces
- Scraping and sanding loose paint
- Re-caulking joints
- Priming exposed areas
- Protecting surrounding surfaces and landscaping
Taking the time to prepare surfaces properly helps ensure coatings perform well and maintain their appearance.
Communication Throughout the Project
One of the most common concerns homeowners & businesses have when hiring a contractor is communication.
Empire Painting maintains consistent communication through both field crews and office staff to help ensure clients stay informed throughout the project.
Our approach typically includes:
- Clear estimates and written scope of work
- Coordinated scheduling
- Progress updates during the project
- Final walkthrough and inspection
This helps ensure the project runs smoothly and that expectations remain clear from beginning to end.
Licensed, Insured, and Lead-Safe Certified
Empire Painting maintains the professional credentials necessary to complete residential and commercial painting projects responsibly.
These include:
- Workers’ Compensation insurance
- $2 million general liability coverage
- Lead-safe certification
- Ongoing safety practices and equipment standards
Safety and professionalism remain priorities for every project our team completes.
