Project Photos

Mac Grove Painting was hired by the homeowners to complete a full exterior painting project on this charming residential property in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. The home’s Craftsman-inspired architecture — featuring layered lap siding, cedar shake accents, decorative gable brackets, and detailed trim work — made it an ideal candidate for a transformative outdoor paint job. Before any paint was applied, the entire exterior was thoroughly pressure washed to remove dirt, mildew, and weathered surface buildup, ensuring a clean foundation for a long-lasting finish. All products were sourced through Mac Grove Painting’s trusted local paint store in White Bear Lake, and unpainted surfaces received proper preparation prior to coating to ensure maximum adhesion and durability across every element of the home’s exterior.

The color selection chosen by the homeowners is a true standout — a bold, sky blue on the siding paired with a warm charcoal gray on the trim, brackets, and fascia creates a striking contrast that feels perfectly at home in the wooded, lake-community surroundings of White Bear Lake. The crisp white window casings add a clean finishing layer that ties the palette together beautifully. This kind of confident, coordinated color combination is exactly what elevates a well-executed exterior painting project from simply refreshed to genuinely eye-catching — and the results speak for themselves in the finished photos.

From surface preparation through final coat application, the Mac Grove Painting crew approached this White Bear Lake exterior painting project with the care and craftsmanship the home deserved. The multi-surface complexity — including horizontal lap siding, shake shingles, structural brackets, and detailed trim — required precise brush and roller work to ensure clean lines and even coverage throughout. The completed residential painting project reflects the team’s commitment to quality results and lasting protection, delivering a home exterior that looks as sharp as it does welcoming against its mature, tree-lined setting.
