Previous projects

Board-and-Batten exterior — Central MN
Crisp white over board-and-batten and lap siding with clean white trim, set off by a deep charcoal entry door — tight cut-lines where the siding meets the brick chimney and the roofline.
Interior · Residential

Walls, trim, and ceilings refreshed — eggshell on the walls, semi-gloss on the trim, ceilings flat. Dust-controlled, furniture protected, and the room handed back clean.
Exterior · Residential
Siding & Trim — Central MN
Lap siding and trim recoated to a clean, even finish, with tight cut-lines around the brick chimney and a crisp back entry.
Exterior · Residential
Power-Wash + Repaint — Central MN

About
§ Two generations, one name
1984
Duck Spanier starts the company — to put himself through college.
Today
His son Lukas carries it on — same standards, same name.
Family-owned · St. Cloud, MN · Since 1984
"Family-owned, two generations, and 30+ years of doing it right."
Spanier Painting is the painter Central Minnesota families recommend by name — and it's been a family business from the start. Duck Spanier founded it in 1984 to put himself through college; forty-plus years later it has grown into a full residential and commercial painting company.
His son Lukas grew up on the job and carries it forward on the same standards: clean job sites, honest quotes, and the right paint for the work — Sherwin-Williams is the brand we reach for most, though we'll use whatever your project calls for. Today the family works across Central Minnesota on interiors, exteriors, residential and commercial — from single rooms to full commercial projects.
