The Painters Inc.

What The Painters Inc. does

The Painters Inc. (legally The Painters, Inc.) is a privately held, North Dakota-domiciled painting services contractor headquartered at 1851 Revere Dr, Bismarck, ND 58501, operating continuously since 1993. The company provides interior and exterior painting for residential and commercial properties, alongside a broad set of specialty surface services: wallpaper removal, wood siding and deck staining, corn blasting, drywall repair, popcorn texture removal, cabinet refinishing, gel staining of fiberglass doors, and metal door painting. Underlying service delivery relies on standard professional painting techniques and tools (Festool sanders for texture removal, spray/hand texture matching, commercial-grade paints and coatings) rather than any proprietary technology platform.

The business runs a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model with no dealer, reseller, or marketplace channels. On-site estimators visit customer properties to scope projects and provide custom quotes; customers also request estimates via phone, email, or the company website. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with a 20% deposit required to secure a scheduling slot and final payment due on completion (ACH, check, or credit card with processing fees). A $350 travel fee applies to estimates outside the Bismarck/Mandan core area. Operationally, the company runs five painting crews typically, expanding to six or seven in peak season, with two to three painters per project, enabling most jobs to complete in under a week.

The customer base is dominated by individual homeowners and small commercial properties in Bismarck/Mandan and Central North Dakota, including Wilton, Washburn, Hazen, Beulah, Linton, Steele, Garrison, and Dickinson. Marketing is conducted through a company website, a content blog, a Google Business Profile, Yelp, and organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok). The company is founder/owner-operated with no disclosed institutional investors, no parent company, and no disclosed revenue or headcount figures.
