Owner Amy Macias founded No Monkeying Around Painting LLC in 2017, growing the family-owned operation from the western Minneapolis suburbs. When homeowners call or submit an estimate through the website, Amy responds and schedules on-site consultations, often the same day. She walks through the project in person, discusses color preferences, assesses surface conditions, and provides a written quote. One customer noted that Amy even came out on a Sunday to accommodate a tight timeline.
The company handles interior and exterior residential painting, with particular strengths in cabinet refinishing, popcorn ceiling removal with knockdown texture, drywall patching, and trim work. Amy and Tim lead a team that includes painters Roberto, Cory, Melvin, and Bill, who handle projects from single-room refreshes to full commercial building transformations. The crew also takes on light carpentry, including baseboard installation, closet construction, and staircase renovation.
Based in Mound, the team serves the greater Minneapolis metro area including Saint Louis Park, Minnetonka, Chaska, Chanhassen, and surrounding communities.

Amy's same-day responsiveness is one of the most consistent patterns across reviews. James Passe describes contacting them through the website and Amy calling "that same day" then coming out on a Sunday for a quote. Abby Peterfeso notes the project finished "in less time than it took other local companies to even respond to our inquiry for a quote." Kathy Bednar adds that Amy responded to her post on the first day it was listed.

Jonathan K's detailed review describes kitchen cabinets with peeling laminate overlay from prior owners. Roberto stripped, scraped, sanded, wood-filled, sanded again, and primed the surfaces. Jonathan K calls the company "the real deal" and notes Amy consulted her paint rep to solve a water-damaged sink door issue. The approach involved caulking and clear coating rather than just painting over the problem, preventing future issues.

Minnesota does not require a state-level painting contractor license for projects under $15,000. The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry Contractor Registration is only required for residential projects exceeding that threshold. A search of the MN Dept. of Labor and Industry database at https://ims.dli.mn.gov/ims/Find3?cat=Pros returned no matching record for No Monkeying Around Painting LLC, which is consistent with typical residential painting projects falling below the state threshold. The company operates as a registered LLC in Minnesota per BBB records, with business start date of February 27, 2017. The MN Secretary of State Business Entity Search is available at https://mblsportal.sos.state.mn.us/Business/Search.
