Since most of our clients never see our facility and offices, we thought it might be nice to give you a quick look at the Peterson Painting facility. Since 1969, the Peterson family has been serving the Des Moines area by building relationships. Cary's father, Bob Peterson, was the first in his family to go to college and worked his way thru Drake University in the 1960's painting homes in the Drake area and South of Grand.

Upon graduation he married his college sweetheart, Rosemary, and they had identical twin boys. Cary is the oldest of the twins and worked his way thru high school and college painting for his father. Upon graduation from the University of Northern Iowa with a B.A. in Marketing and with the support of his father, Cary started his own painting company.

David and his crew were phenomenal. The entire process from quote (with Cary), to scheduling (with Cheryl), to the actual painting (with David and Ryan) was very thorough and professional. I have never worked with a company that cares so much about the quality of their work and it shows in the end results. Everyone I worked with was communicative, thoughtful, responsible, and just overall good people. What could have been a stressful experience (changing the exterior paint color on a 100 year old home) actually ended up being quite enjoyable. I would definitely use Peterson's again for any future

Brandon and his crew did a beautiful job on the exterior of our home. His crew’s attention to detail was extraordinary, nothing went unnoticed - to caulking each nail hole in the siding (on the entire exterior!) to making sure enough siding was replaced so we wouldn’t have any problems with water.
Jeanette came out to help choose the most beautiful color combination - it is perfect!
Thank you for making what can be a stressful ordeal a true pleasure!
We love the finished look!

I wouldn't recommend this painting company. Employees are very rude when asked to redo an area that clearly wasn't done properly. Shouldn't have to point out a problem like that with a "professional" painting company. Paint lines from one color to another are wavy and could be better. 1st and last time I use them.

Peterson Painting was the second-highest bid of my four bids. However, I needed to paint a historical 97-year old Bed & Breakfast in the heart of Des Moines, on Grand Avenue. I couldn't afford mistakes. The gentlemen who painted my house were courteous and professional. They offered suggestions, which was imperative to a woman painting a historical property in four different colors on the exterior. Bottom line- you get what you pay for, and you cannot do better than Peterson Painting, if you have a historical exterior paint job!
