We understand that painting the outside of your house can feel like a big decision—the color you choose affects curb appeal, and the quality of the paint determines how well it protects your home. That’s why at Five Star Painting, we don't just paint your home! Our team takes the time to learn what you want and strategize for the best paint job possible, even offering a two-year warranty on our services for peace of mind.
Exterior Structures & Surfaces We Can Paint
Our painting professionals can prep, paint, and stain most of the materials of homes in the Des Moines metro area, including:
- Concrete Board
- Wood Siding
- Cedar Shingles

Along with painting your home, we also specialize in maximizing curb appeal for your whole property.

This includes (but isn’t limited to) gazebos, playhouses, well houses, latticework, sheds, barns, and detached garages.

Five Star Painting’s Comprehensive Prep Work for Exterior Painting
When we say we prep your home’s exterior before painting, we mean it! Proper prep is the key to a professional finish that withstands the elements over time. We often begin with pressure washing to dislodge dirt, mold, oils, and many other substances. We even hand-wash when necessary. After cleaning, prep depends on the condition of the home but can include wood repair, sanding, caulking, priming, and much more, to make sure it’s ready for painting.
What’s Included in Our Painting Process
- We start by asking you questions and taking the time to understand what you want. You’ll have a dedicated project manager to ensure the project matches your vision.
- We’ll supply the premium paint and proper materials so you don’t have to lift a finger.
- Our crew will start within two weeks after you give us approval to move forward. We’ll perform the proper prep and painting techniques to give you a long-lasting finish.
- We’ll not only make sure that the surface we painted looks perfect, but we also always clean up our work area, leaving your home just as we found it. (That means no paint cans lying around!)
- Your dedicated project manager will perform a walk-through afterward to make sure everything is just as you want it.
Why House Painting in Des Moines Is So Important
Painting your exterior is an effective way to bring value to a home, which is why you often see sellers painting their houses before putting them on the market. Some of the ways it brings value include:
- Increase curb appeal — A fresh paint job instantly boosts your home’s appearance! Whether you’re painting a new color or refreshing your existing color, it’s an easy way to help your house stand out on the block.
- Protecting your home — Exterior Painting isn’t all about looks—it’s also an essential maintenance task you should perform every 5 to 10 years. It protects your home from the outside elements, including water and pests, and prevents rotting, warping, or expensive home repairs.
