Lake Minnewaska's Trusted Painting & Drywall Contractor
Glenwood sits on the eastern shore of Lake Minnewaska, one of Minnesota's largest lakes at nearly 7,000 acres. That much open water creates real challenges for paint and drywall work that most contractors don't account for.
Lakefront properties deal with higher humidity, stronger wind exposure on elevated lots, and UV reflection off the water that breaks down exterior coatings faster than inland homes. We have worked on enough Minnewaska properties to know what products hold up and what prep work makes the difference between a finish that lasts two years and one that lasts ten.
Pope County has everything from historic Glenwood homes near the original 1866 platted area to modern builds on the lakeshore, Starbuck's Scandinavian-heritage houses, and seasonal cabins scattered across Pelican Lake, Lake Reno, and Villard Lake. Each one needs a different approach, and we bring that knowledge to every estimate.

"We needed our Lake Minnewaska cabin repainted after a rough winter tore up the south-facing side. Kevin came out, gave us an honest quote, and his crew knocked it out in three days. Paint's held up perfectly through two more winters. Can't ask for more than that."

Learn More →Stallman Drywall serves Glenwood and all of Pope County from our home base in Morris, about 30 minutes away. Owner Kevin Stallman has been doing drywall and painting work in the Glenwood area since 2013 and does every estimate personally.

Pricing depends on the scope — a drywall repair patch is a different price point than finishing a full basement or hanging drywall in a new lake home build. Factors like project size, ceiling height, drywall type, and whether you want us to handle the painting all affect the cost. There is no extra charge for travel to Glenwood or anywhere in Pope County. Call Kevin directly at (320) 288-6171 for a free estimate — he does every estimate personally and can usually schedule a walkthrough within a day or two.
Yes. We serve all of Pope County including Glenwood, Starbuck, Villard, Lowry, Cyrus, the Lake Minnewaska shoreline, Pelican Lake and Lake Reno area, and all surrounding communities. Our Morris home base is about 30 minutes from Glenwood, so we are in Pope County regularly and there are never extra travel charges within the county.
Absolutely. Lake homes around Glenwood and the Minnewaska shoreline face unique moisture challenges — condensation from lake humidity, seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, and occasional plumbing issues in properties that sit unoccupied during parts of the year. We handle water-damaged drywall repair by removing all compromised material, inspecting the framing and insulation for moisture and mold, then rebuilding with the right materials including moisture-resistant drywall where appropriate. We match existing textures and can handle the painting too.
Yes. Popcorn ceiling removal is one of our most requested services in the Glenwood area, especially in cabins and homes built in the 1970s and 1980s. We contain the work area, scrape and remove the old texture, skim coat the ceiling smooth, and prime it for paint. Many Glenwood-area homeowners pair popcorn removal with a full interior repaint to completely refresh their space.
Yes. We offer cabinet refinishing and door spraying out of our paint shop in Morris. Spraying doors and cabinets in a controlled shop environment gives you a factory-smooth finish that is extremely difficult to achieve with brushes and rollers on-site. We can refinish existing cabinets to update the look of your kitchen or bathroom without the cost of a full replacement, and we spray interior doors for a clean, professional finish with no brush marks. Ask Kevin about cabinet refinishing and millwork finishing when you call for your estimate at (320) 288-6171.
Yes — our full turnkey service covers everything from bare studs to painted walls. Drywall installation, finishing, texturing, priming, and painting. One contractor, one standard, one call. This is especially popular with Glenwood-area builders and homeowners doing lake home renovations because it means consistent quality and one point of contact instead of coordinating multiple trades.
