About Us

Family-owned and operated.

Since 1969, the Peterson family has made a name for themselves within the Des Moines area. What started as a passion for painting for first-generation college student Bob Peterson, his son Cary has created a family business focused on building relationships. Painting is labor intensive, time consuming, and potentially dangerous. To do it well requires preparation, the right tools, skilled labor, and a solid education about the different products, surfaces, and techniques involved.
