Learn MoreBaseboards, crown molding, doors, and window casing. Caulking, filler, light sanding, then a clean cut line every time.
Learn MoreBelow grade walls need moisture resistant paint. We seal hairline cracks, prime cinder block or drywall, and finish with two coats.
Learn MorePressure wash, light sand, and apply solid stain or deck paint. We work around the weather so the finish actually cures.
Learn MorePine, oak, cedar, and pressure treated wood. We sample stain colors first so you see the tone before we coat the whole project.

Wilbur has been painting in Minnesota for 30+ years. He knows which products hold up to the cold and which fail.
Most paint jobs fail because of bad prep. We sand, fill, prime, and caulk before paint touches any wall or surface.
Drop cloths, masking, daily cleanup, and we move furniture back where it was. Your house should not look like a worksite.
Cowboy Painting LLC was started by Wilbur Rivera and is still run by him. After more than 30 years on job sites in Minnesota, the work speaks for itself. Most clients come from referrals or repeat jobs, not from ads.
That means quality stays consistent and you talk to the people doing the work, not a sales office. Free quotes are part of how we do business.
Quick answers to what people ask before booking. Anything not covered here, give us a call.
Yes. Antonio comes out, looks at the project, and writes a quote in person. No fees, no obligation to hire us after.
Stillwater, Lake Elmo, White Bear Lake, Minneapolis, Maple Grove, Blaine, Lexington, Andover, and the surrounding towns. Ask if your area is close.
A single room takes one to two days. A full house interior usually runs three to seven days, depending on size and ceiling height.
Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore are our usual picks. We choose the product based on the surface, the room, and how much wear it gets.
Interior, yes, anytime. Exterior work depends on temperature. Most paints need above 35 to 40 degrees, so we plan exterior jobs for spring through fall.
No. We move furniture to the center, cover everything in plastic and drop cloths. You only need to clear small items off shelves and walls.
Interior paint holds up 5 to 10 years in normal use. Exterior in Minnesota usually lasts 7 to 12 years, longer if prep was done right.
