We do. Small jobs done right are how most of our long-term Ames customers found us, and many come back later for the bigger scopes.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes: licensed & insured, and we will show you current documentation before Ames work starts, not after you ask twice.

How long will the work take?

Depends on the scope, and we put the number of working days in your written quote rather than guessing on the phone. Ames weather can shift exterior schedules, and we say so up front.

Why Ames homeowners call JM Painting

We keep Ames job sites livable. Materials stay contained to your property, floors and landscaping are protected, and the site gets swept down at the end of each day, which matters more on occupied homes than most contractors act like it does.
