Professional interior painting for homes and businesses throughout West Central Minnesota and Eastern South Dakota
A lot of customers are surprised to learn Stallman Drywall does painting — but despite our name, interior painting is a significant part of our business. It makes sense: the same meticulous prep that makes drywall look flawless is exactly what separates a professional paint job from a DIY disappointment.
We handle everything from single accent walls to whole-house repaints, new construction to refreshing dated spaces. Kevin personally estimates every project and can often schedule a walkthrough within a day or two of your call. Whether you need walls, ceilings, trim, cabinets, or doors, every project meets The Stallman Standard: meticulous prep, flawless finish, no excuses.
From hiding imperfections to highlighting texture — we recommend the right sheen for each surface
Completely non-reflective surface. While it provides excellent coverage and a rich color, flat paint can be more challenging to maintain, as it is prone to scuffs and stains. Ceilings and low-traffic areas.
Great for hiding surface imperfections, while its angular shine helps make walls smooth and washable. Living rooms, dining rooms, exterior siding.
Balances durability and elegance. Easily washable and work well in areas prone to scuffs and nicks. Family rooms, hallways, kids' rooms.
Great for trim and moldings, easy to clean and adds a subtle shine. Kitchens, bathrooms, closet doors.
Perfect for surfaces that need a striking appearance and durability. Cabinets, doors, furniture.
"I just moved to Morris and needed painting done. Everyone I talked to recommended Kevin Stallman — I see why! He came right away, gave me a bid, and his crew started the next day. Not only was Kevin extremely nice, but his crew was professional, hardworking, and personable. Excellent job!"
"The paint job was excellent, but the professionalism surpassed my expectations. Travis and Jake were highly skilled, courteous, and punctual. You finished on time, kept me updated through the entire project, and left things cleaner than you found them. 10/10 — I'll refer you to everyone I know."
"If you want things done just right with polite, courteous, and skilled workers, this is the company for you. I cannot say how pleased I am with the work they did in our house — it was beyond what I expected. So easy to work with."
Interior painting runs about $0.65 to $1.00 per square foot for walls, depending on prep work, paint quality, and room complexity. A typical room runs $200–$500, whole-house projects range from $1,500–$5,000+ depending on size and scope. Trim, ceilings, and cabinet painting add to the cost.

Absolutely — cabinet and door painting is one of our most popular services. Cabinet painting typically saves 70-80% compared to replacement while completely transforming dated kitchens and bathrooms. Our process includes thorough cleaning and degreasing, proper sanding for adhesion, specialized cabinet primer, and multiple coats of durable cabinet-grade paint. The result is a smooth, factory-quality finish that holds up to daily use. Most cabinet projects take 3-5 days depending on kitchen size.
Yes — and this is where being a drywall contractor who also paints really matters. We handle everything from minor nail holes and cracks to larger repairs like water damage, holes, and texture matching. Because we do drywall finishing and texturing in-house, we can make repairs that blend seamlessly with your existing walls before painting. Many painters just skim over problems; we actually fix them. That's the advantage of working with a full-service drywall and painting contractor.
