About Wisconsota Painting
When Carol Gindt relocated from Alaska and needed her entire two-story home painted, she found Wisconsota Painting on Facebook and experienced what she called service "beyond what we could imagine." The crew traveled 1.5 hours each way and "often stayed past what I would call normal quitting hours" to complete her project.
Owner Mike Johnson founded Wisconsota Painting in 2021 and built the company from Eau Claire's Putnam Street location. The fully licensed and insured team includes manager Halie Stock, project managers like Corey, and crew leads including Charles, Ronnie, and Colin. The company handles interior and exterior residential painting, cabinet refinishing, deck and fence staining, popcorn ceiling removal, and drywall repair.
Wisconsota Painting is BBB Accredited and serves Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, Altoona, La Crosse, Hudson, Menomonie, and surrounding Wisconsin and Minnesota communities. The company offers a warranty on all projects and complimentary power washing with exterior jobs.

Chris "could have just painted the entire ceiling because it was the color we asked for but he didn't."
