You want a finish that holds up against Iowa's humid summers and freezing winters. That is why Des Moines Painting Company focuses on professional-grade materials and proven techniques. We do not cut corners on prep or product selection. Every job starts with a thorough surface assessment, proper priming, and careful application. Whether it is a century-old bungalow in Sherman Hill or a new build in West Des Moines, we treat each project with the same attention to detail. Our approach is simple: use the right tools, the right materials, and the right standards for every surface. ## The brands we service in Des Moines We work with the paint brands that professionals trust. Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore are our go-to choices for interior and exterior coatings, offering excellent coverage and durability. For budget-conscious projects, we use PPG, Behr, Valspar, and Glidden without sacrificing quality. When specialized primers or sealers are needed, we reach for Zinsser, Kilz, or Rust-Oleum. Dunn-Edwards provides high-performance options for commercial spaces. We also carry oil-based paints, varnishes, and stains for trim, cabinets, and decks. This range means we can match the right product to the specific conditions of your Des Moines home. ## Professional equipment & materials we use Our equipment is chosen for efficiency and precision. An airless paint sprayer speeds up large areas like siding or ceilings, while paint rollers and extension poles handle walls and trim with even coverage. We use high-quality paint brushes for cutting in and detail work. Drop cloths and painter's tape protect your floors, windows, and fixtures. For surface prep, we rely on putty knives, caulk guns, sanders, and pressure washers. Materials like spackle, joint compound, and caulk fill cracks and gaps before painting. We use sanding blocks and mineral spirits for smoothing and cleanup. This combination of tools and materials ensures a smooth, long-lasting finish on every surface. ## The standards and safety codes we work to We follow recognized industry standards to keep your home safe and our work consistent. For paint safety, we adhere to ASTM D4236, which covers labeling of art materials, and ASTM D471 for paint testing. On older homes built before 1978, we comply with the EPA RRP Rule for lead-safe work practices. Our crew follows OSHA 29 CFR 1926 for construction safety on every job. For green building projects, we reference LEED v4 criteria to select low-VOC paints. Industrial and commercial work meets SSPC-PA 1 and NACE No. 1 standards for surface preparation and coating application. We also align with ISO 9001 quality management principles, ANSI/UL 2580 for electrical safety, and California Title 24 for energy-efficient coatings. These codes are not just paperwork—they guide how we prep, paint, and clean up every day. Ready to see the difference professional standards make on your Des Moines home?
