The No. 1 Local House Painter in Franklin, WI
The Painting & Drywall Contractor Your Neighbors Recommend
Professional painters understand that Franklin homes face roof leaks, small cracks, soft drywall, and peeling paint. It’s the kind of damage that starts small and then it slowly becomes the thing you keep noticing every time you walk past the wall.
Pewaukee Drywall Pros provides both home interior painting and drywall repair, so you’re not hiring one crew to patch it and another crew to paint over it. We inspect moisture before painting and that’s how we guarantee a finish that won’t peel off next winter.
We also provide cabinet painting and kitchen remodels in Franklin, New Berlin, Waukesha, Brookfield, and Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.
How to Tell if Your Painter is Good?
To know if a residential painter is good, ask these questions:
What prep is included?
Prep determines 60–70% of how long a paint job lasts. At minimum, they should be sanding and filling every nail hole. We also spot-prime bare patches before coating, because skipping that step is why paint fails at the 2-year mark.
What paint brand are you using?
Quality varies significantly between a $20 contractor-grade gallon and a premium product. Good interior painting products include Sherwin-Williams Emerald, Benjamin Moore Aura, and PPG Diamond. If your contractor can’t name the product line or grade they’re using, that’s a budget substitution you’ll notice within two years.
Can I see recent work?
Online reviews with photos help. But calling a recent reference or visiting a job site tells the real story.
Do you carry liability insurance?
Wisconsin only requires a Dwelling Contractor Certification for structural work, so general painters can legally operate with zero state oversight. Hire painting contractors carrying at least $1 million in liability coverage.
What does the warranty cover?
Verbal guarantees mean nothing when paint fails. Get a written warranty covering premature peeling and blistering.
Are you lead-safe certified?
Franklin homes built before 1978 require a residential painters with state lead-safe credentials. Scraping walls without it releases toxic dust.

Why Franklin Property Owners Keep Calling Us Back
We Check Behind The Walls
Our local painters use a moisture meter to check the wall cavity. Drywall gypsum retains moisture long after the visible leak stops. Patching over a wet substrate traps that moisture inside, and the compound fails to bond.

Jessica Pascale Barnes
Phil and Mark repaired some drywall cracks for us 2-3 months ago and the results were phenomenal! Recently there was a crack that began to form again (something we were aware might happen) so mark came out and found the problem (something very minor) and fixed it. Phil and Mark are both professional, easy to work with and respectful of you and your home. We will definitely use them again for any of our drywall needs!

Selling Your Franklin Home? The Walls Are Already Being Judged.
Franklin’s housing market moved fast in 2025. Median sale price hit $460,000, up 26.9% year over year.
In that market, a buyer walking through a home with visible patches, cracked ceilings, or mismatched texture has something to negotiate with. Those details go on the offer.
A fresh interior paint and drywall work cost a fraction of a price reduction. Our home painters have helped Franklin property owners protect that number before a listing goes live. We cover Muskego, Pewaukee, Elm Grove, Brookfield, West Allis, and Wauwatosa.
