When Candi Phelps needed her turn-of-the-century kitchen updated, she chose Advanced Painting Services LLC after reviewing the detailed bid from owner Cody Morrison. She called his approach a "meticulous painting procedure" and noted that his estimate "laid out each and every thing he would do, in order." That level of transparency runs through how Cody operates his Shoreview-based painting business.
Cody Morrison founded Advanced Painting Services LLC in 2020, bringing over 15 years of personal painting experience to the Twin Cities metro. This is an owner-operated company where Cody handles estimates, prep work, and painting himself, serving Shoreview, Vadnais Heights, Roseville, White Bear Lake, Arden Hills, Saint Paul, Minneapolis, and surrounding communities within 40 miles. The company handles interior and exterior residential painting, drywall repair and installation, popcorn ceiling removal, cabinet refinishing, deck staining, and epoxy floor coatings using Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore products.
The fully insured team offers a 3-year craftsmanship guarantee on all projects and provides free estimates within 48 hours. Customers can reach Cody at (763) 290-2786 or through the company website to schedule a consultation.

Kathy Kalsow left a 3-star review describing a whole-house interior project (9 rooms, 3 bathrooms, wallpaper removal) where an "estimated 1 week project took 9 weeks to complete." She acknowledged Cody is a "very skilled and detailed painter" but noted the timeline was underestimated, conflicting with other scheduled projects.
