🛁 Expect Moore From Your Painter. 🖌️

Metzenbauer Painting & Finishing isn’t your average contractor. We’re the #1 user of Benjamin Moore paint in Western Wisconsin—because your home deserves the best, and we know how to deliver it.

Take this stunning wet room, for example. While the Cambria surfaces are showstoppers, what you might not notice is just as important: the high-performance finish protecting the often-overlooked drywall. That’s why we used Aura® Bath & Spa—specially formulated for high-humidity spaces. Mold-resistant. Mildew-resistant. And Metzenbauer-applied with surgical precision.

🧱 Want to see it in person?
You can! This wet room is featured in House #9 of the Chippewa Valley Home Builders Parade of Homes. Swing by before June 15 and see how expert painting and finishing can elevate every surface. The work speaks for itself.

Because we don’t just make rooms beautiful.
We make them last.

Have your walls come down with a case of the pocks?

"Pock" marks can appear in any finish that requires a wet film to dry out, but it can sometimes be seen in drywall finishes. These little holes are due to air bubbles being trapped inside drywall mud when it is applied and having the mud dry over the air. Once that mud is sanded those air pockets or "pock marks" open up and can been seen as uneven texture/sheen or even rough spots on walls and ceilings.

When they do appear they are an easy fix! Just apply a little mud over these marks and lightly sand before painting. Doing this easy step will keep your walls looking smooth and even! Recognizing them before painting is the hard part!

Since these marks are hard to see with all the white background and dust during the sanding process in a home, it is the Painters responsibility to catch these little imperfections and fix them prior to calling the job complete.

It takes a tremendous team effort and a lot of attention to detail to create a beautiful home, so Metzenbauer Painting takes a lot of care and work to ensure the job is done right, not just rapidly. Anybody can "slap on some paint" but it takes a true painting professional with passion to really pull a project together.

Luckily we have many of those individuals on our team! If you're looking for a cure to your "pocks" give us a call or visit us on the web for a free estimate to paint your home today!

What inspires you and expresses your personality?

This is the biggest, and sometimes hardest, question behind every decision that is made in home design. Do you just love that dining room set that's been in your family for generations? How about that sofa in your favorite color? Whatever it is, it can be a tiresome process, but also a very rewarding experience to design a space around what you love.

In this pictured living room, the homeowner received help putting their inspirational puzzle pieces together by the talented designers at Dorig Design LLC. this summer. The main focus... a vibrant piece of artwork that demands to takes center stage. Their designers came up with a wallpaper-paint combination that completely transformed this old home's traditional living room space to something that is truly unique and inspiring.

Metzenbauer Painting & Finishing contributed with the wallpaper removal, new install, painting and custom stained and finished new woodwork to blend in with the beautiful existing 60+ year old woodwork.

Call us today! We would love to be a part the winning combination that will inspire you for many years to come!

In collaboration with: Dorig Design, for design. (and some pictures) Fern Construction, the contractor.

Happy Monday to all! With the warm sun shine starting to return to the North and thawing us out this weekend, we wanted to give you the "warm and fuzzies" as well with this memory of summer! This before and after was one of our favorite projects from last summer where we took this homes' exterior from the 70's brown look into the 2000's with a much more curb-appealing look.

Painting the trim, soffit, facia, gutters, garage doors and windows white, allowed the blue siding color to really pop and take the main stage on this project. While transitioning the brick to a lighter off white/gray we gave the house some depth without making the color scheme too complex and keeping the blue the main focus.

Finally changing the doors from the bland old traditional paint job, to our expertly finished wood faux finish brings it all together. (That's right... those are the original metal doors painted to look like real wood!)

Our 2020 exterior season is almost already booked up, so call today to get a quote and reserve your spot before it's too late!

"We'll just have to touch that up later" Is a phrase we hear a lot around our job sites. While putting new paint on a mistake or a repair should work in theory, it doesn't always end up working out with our desired end result of blending in flawlessly.

In this picture you can see there was a repair made around the silver outlet, which was then poorly "touched up" after the wall had already been painted. What causes paint to not match up when we apply the same paint over what is existing, even when it is brand new paint? (like what is shown below)

There are many factors that can effect the look of a touch-up, such as: texture on the wall, texture made when the product is being applied, how well and even the original coating was applied, poor primers that don't properly seal the walls evenly, and especially the quality of paint that was being used.

This is an example of a commercial job were cost effectiveness over shadowed all other factors, which may be acceptable for a Dr.s office, but would not be acceptable for one of our customers homes.

Want your touch-ups to blend in? Recipes for that success are: always apply two coats of a paint to ensure you get proper color coverage and an even sheen, feather out the touch-up so you don't create any ridges when the paint dries, and most importantly use quality products! We highly recommend using either Benjamin Moore's Regal Select or Sherwin Williams Duration for a long lasting finish that will touch up over time!

Don't show case your repairs by having your touch-ups jump out at you and your guests. Use the right products and application methods and your beautiful paint job can remain perfect years after your room is completed; even after you have to clean up and "touch-up" that spot on the wall when your new puppy shakes off that fresh spring mud on your wall!

We're always here to help too! Not only do we want the room to look great when we leave your home, but we want to make sure it will look great for the years to come. We are more than happy to be YOUR recipe for success!

We're back in action! Speaking of coming back from the dead... guess what is also coming back into style? Wallpaper of course!

Below is an accent wall we installed in a commercial grade wall covering that really made a statement in a newly remodeled home. To allow that color to really pop, we painted the surrounding walls in Benjamin Moore's color: OC-17: White Dove.

White pallets have been dominating the more modern designs these days, making the rooms feel large and clean. When adding an accent piece, such as a accent color or a wall paper feature wall, having that white surround really allows the color to be the main focus of a room.

Enjoy your wallpaper? Feel free to share your designs for inspiration!
