Stetson, Miguel, and their team did a wonderful job painting the exterior of our house and fixing the wood rot we had. Their team was very knowledgeable, kept me well informed of their progress, discussed alternative solutions thoroughly with me when a problem arose (had to do with the type of siding we had previously - not a problem anyone caused), and got the job done quickly due to the size of their awesome team. I was very impressed with Great Plains Painting and will definitely be calling them again in the future.
