The attention to detail was incredible. Their team saw and fixed issues that I had not seen previously. I would definitely use and recommend them in the future.

Varsity came out to provide an estimate and provided excellent advice on picking colors.  We had been looking for grays and couldn't find what we wanted, the owner suggested looking at some different colors and they ended up being the ones we wanted.  Varsity did an amazing job prepping the rooms to paint, and working with us as we still needed to be able to move through the painting area to get to & from other parts of the house.  They also managed to prevent two cats from messing up the whole project.  The finished work looks amazing.  We have received numerous compliments on the change from wood trim to bright white and the colors for the walls as well.

Varsity did a great job on painting my interior. They completed the entire job in a day, which was amazing considering all the prep work they had to do. I appreciated the care they took in covering my furniture and new carpet in plastic.

This is the second time we have had Varsity Painters do work for us.  From the initial contact to follow up after the job was complete, they did a fantastic job and were in communication with us throughout the job.  I would recommend them without hesitation.

The supervisor and crew did an excellent job. Even in the July humidity, they worked hard. We have an "L" shaped rambler and they completed the whole exterior in three days with prep and painting. We chose a main house color, an accent color, and eves/trim another color. Excellent customer service. Our contractor friend who installed a new front door for us, before the painting project, was impressed with the quality and timeliness of Varsity Painters. They used quality Sherwin Williams paint. It would have taken us so much longer to do this project ourselves, and it would not have turned out as nicely. Well worth the investment. We interviewed a few painters, and Varsity gave the best first impression, very professional, and best cost for the job.

We were very pleased with the results. It looks like a different house! Varsity helped by picking out color choices and the painters themselves were great! They worked so hard, putting in long days and cleaning up their work each night. We are pleased with the overall results.

Varsity painters did an outstanding job on our house and exceeded our expectations. All aspects from pressure cleaning the house to prepping it for painting and doing the painting were done with a high level of professionalism and care. The crew worked quickly but thoroughly and did a fantastic job. They masked off areas to prevent paint spray from going where it shouldn't and did extra things that I didn't expect. For instance they removed the house number plaque from a brick area of the house, removed the numbers, sanded and painted the wood and then put it back up. They even painted the ledger board between the joists on the deck! Edges between color areas were sharp and crisp. Varsity Painters was actually the lowest of the 3 quotes that we got but I can't imagine the other providers doing a better job. Our house is a two story with a walkout on the back and a 3 season porch, wood lap siding.

I was given options that the other bids did not offer. The project was on time based on my need to get the house on the market. I will absolutely use Varsity Painters again.

What sets these guys apart is their honest owner. This will be the 5th time our house has been painted but the only time it was done correctly without corners cut. Next time they are the company I will use.

Varsity Painters did a terrific job for us at Nicollet Plaza Townhomes Association in Burnsville.
The crew was pleasant, worked hard, and they did what they said they would do and more.
The feedback from the neighbors is very positive!

I'm a tough customer - very few contractors meet my expectations -

Varsity Painters did a great job cleaning the property before the paint crew started.
They caulked, filled and detailed thousands of screw heads and gaps in lap siding.
They sanded and primed tricky surfaces before coating the surfaces with Duration finish coats. 
They cleaned up, we walked the property finding only a couple minor items, and they moved on to satisfy the next customer.

I have learned that many folks do not understand the value of proper work until they have had to pay to fix the "race to the bottom" work that is common in the residential industry.  Peeling paint would be a burden on our neighborhood for the lifespan of our homes.

I hope other HOA's think long term and choose Varsity.
I am very happy with their work.
