Our Story

Local Roots.
Honest Work.

I was born and raised in Madison. Growing up, baseball was the thing I poured everything into, all the way through my time at UW-Eau Claire. When that chapter ended, I wanted something new worth giving my all.

So I started Madison House Painters with one simple goal: give every job everything I have, and keep getting better every day.

I'm a perfectionist, which turns out to be exactly what painting needs. Clean lines, careful prep, and a finished room that looks right from every angle. When you hire us, you're not getting a faceless company. You're getting a neighbor who cares how your home turns out.

Why Homeowners Choose Us

The Painter You Can Trust

Hiring a painter means trusting someone inside your home. Here's how we earn that trust on every job.

"He is meticulous in his work from start to finish. Pricing was fair, painting was beautiful, clean up beyond what we expected."

"I felt comfortable to leave him in my home when I ran errands. He was kind, respectful, and calm."

Owner on Every Job

You get the owner's attention on your project, not a salesperson who disappears after the contract is signed.

Prep Done Right

We patch, sand, caulk, and prime before any paint goes on. That's what makes a paint job last.

Clean and Careful

Floors covered, furniture protected, and everything put back where it was when we're done.
