I have so much regret with Gold Standard Painting. Regret that I didn’t reach out to Andrew sooner because looking back at all the other times I decided to paint myself, I could’ve saved so much time, headache, mess and let’s be honest, arguments with the significant other 😂 Gold Standard Painting truly lives up to its name and more. During our basement renovation, we encountered an unexpected issue that demanded immediate attention, and that's when we were introduced to Andrew and his team. The team did an excellent job patching up the walls and ceilings, and we are very pleased with the outcome as you can tell they went above and beyond. Although the repair took longer than expected (to no one's fault - just busy schedules!), Andrew was consistently responsive, promptly addressing any questions we had and following up multiple times throughout the process. His accommodating nature was greatly appreciated, making the experience all the more positive. Highly recommend Gold Standard Painting! The only disappointment you’ll feel is if you don’t reach out to Andrew!

Expert Drywall Finishing and Paint in Lakeville, MN
Drywall finishing and paint go hand in hand, and getting both right matters more than most homeowners realize. At Gold Standard Painting, we handle the full sequence: taping joints, applying compound, sanding surfaces smooth, priming, and painting walls and ceilings to a clean, consistent finish. Many Lakeville homes feature open floor plans with large windows and vaulted ceilings. Those conditions put walls under direct natural light, which makes every ridge, seam, and rough patch visible. We match the finish level to the room's lighting and paint sheen so the final coat looks right under any light. Whether you are finishing a remodeled room, repairing walls after a renovation, or refreshing a space that has seen years of wear, we treat the surface before we ever open a can of paint. Walls that are properly finished and painted hold up longer, look cleaner, and add real value to your home. We serve Lakeville and the surrounding south metro, including Rosemount, Prior Lake, Burnsville, Eagan, Edina, Farmington, and Credit River. Call us to get started.
What's included
- Smooth, seam-free walls that hold up under direct natural light in open-plan Lakeville homes

- Repaired and finished walls that blend with surrounding surfaces, removing visible damage before painting
- A single contractor handles finishing and paint, so nothing falls through the gap between trades
- Walls and ceilings that resist cracking and peeling longer because the prep work is done correctly
- A cleaner, more polished interior that supports your home's value in the south metro market

Drywall Finishing and Paint FAQ
Common questions about drywall finishing and paint in Lakeville, MN.
Yes, any bare, patched, or repaired drywall needs to be finished and primed before paint is applied. Skipping that step leads to uneven absorption and a finish that shows every flaw.
Yes, we handle both the drywall finishing and the paint as one connected scope of work. That means repairs are matched to your existing surface before any paint goes on.
Visible seams after painting usually mean the drywall was not finished to the right level before the paint was applied. Rooms with large windows or bright light require careful compound work and sanding to keep the surface uniform.
Finishing covers taping joints, applying and feathering joint compound, installing corner bead where needed, sanding the surface smooth, and priming so paint adheres evenly. Each step builds on the last.
Yes, Gold Standard Painting serves Rosemount, Farmington, and the wider south metro area. Contact us to discuss your project and schedule a visit.
The right finish level depends on your room's lighting and the paint sheen you choose. Rooms with high-gloss paint or walls under strong natural light need a higher-level finish to prevent the surface from showing imperfections.
