When Mike Jorgensen needed his entire interior painted while out of town, Todd Anderson sent progress photos along the way and adjusted the scope as rooms were added mid-project. At 55, Jorgensen says he has worked with countless contractors and calls the communication and results "10 star." That kind of trust, built through transparency and flexibility, defines what emerges from investigating this Eden Prairie painting contractor.
Todd Anderson and Heath Brolsma have operated Woodland Painting, Inc. since 2000, handling interior and exterior residential painting across the western and southern Twin Cities suburbs. Services include wall and ceiling painting, cabinet refinishing and fine enameling, popcorn ceiling removal, deck staining, fence painting, drywall repair, and color consulting. The fully insured team uses Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore products, and the website confirms what reviewers echo independently. "Clean, neat uniformed employees (no subs)" and "all work supervised on-site by an owner." The BBB-accredited company serves Eden Prairie, Plymouth, Wayzata, Minnetonka, Burnsville, Bloomington, Maple Grove, Golden Valley, and surrounding communities.
The repeat customer pattern across reviews is striking. Gina Seppi has hired Woodland for three large projects across two homes over 11 years, calling it "the only painting company I will hire." Suzanne Monahan returned after 15 years for a refresh. Jim Gebhard has relied on Todd's seasonal recommendations for eight consecutive years. Nancy Larson describes decades of loyalty. This volume of voluntary return business points to consistent execution over time.
