OUR SERVICES

At Chileen, we offer more than just painting...

At Chileen Painting, we offer far more than standard residential painting. We specialize in old home painting and restoration services designed to preserve, protect, and enhance the historic homes that define the Twin Cities and surrounding Minnesota communities. From century-old Victorians to early Craftsman, Tudor, and Colonial-style homes, our team understands that older properties require a higher level of expertise, care, and respect for original materials.

With decades of hands-on experience, we help homeowners maintain their home’s architectural integrity while delivering durable, high-quality finishes that stand up to Minnesota’s climate.

Old Home Restoration Experts You Can Trust

Older homes often face challenges that go beyond cosmetic wear. Common issues include:

Peeling or failing paint
Wood rot and weather damage
Cracked plaster or deteriorating trim
Moisture intrusion and surface breakdown
Outdated or incompatible past paint applications

Our old home restoration services are designed to address these issues at the source. Every project begins with a detailed inspection to identify problem areas and determine the best restoration approach. We don’t rush the process, proper preparation is essential to achieving a long-lasting result. Our restoration capabilities include:

Exterior and interior surface repair
Trim, siding, and woodwork restoration
Plaster and surface stabilization
Paint removal and surface correction
Porch, railing, and architectural detail repair

By repairing and restoring surfaces before painting, we ensure your home not only looks beautiful—but remains protected for years to come.

Historic Home Painting That Honors Original Design

Historic homes require a thoughtful painting approach. At Chilleen Painting, we use specialized techniques and historically appropriate materials whenever possible to preserve the authenticity of your home while improving durability.

Our team takes great care in preparing:

Original wood siding and clapboards
Decorative trim and millwork
Doors, windows, and architectural accents

We understand how improper prep or modern shortcuts can damage older materials. That’s why we prioritize gentle surface preparation, correct primers, and compatible coatings that allow historic homes to breathe and age properly.

Whether you’re preserving an original color palette or updating your home with period-appropriate colors, we provide expert guidance to help you make informed decisions that enhance curb appeal without compromising character.

Twin Cities Experience Matters

Minnesota’s climate presents unique challenges for older homes—freeze-thaw cycles, humidity, snow, and intense sun exposure all affect paint performance. Our experience working throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the greater Twin Cities area allows us to select coatings and restoration methods that hold up against local conditions.

We focus on:

Long-lasting exterior protection
Proper moisture management
Durable finishes designed for seasonal extremes

This localized expertise ensures your restoration investment delivers lasting value.

Safe, Responsible Restoration Practices

Many older homes were built before modern paint regulations. Our team follows safe and responsible work practices, including lead-safe procedures when required, to protect your family and property throughout the restoration process.

We take pride in maintaining clean job sites, clear communication, and respectful craftsmanship—especially when working on homes with historical significance.
