When a Saint Paul homeowner noticed her bathroom paint chipping after a year despite following all the right care steps, she reached out to Durahome Painting Plus repeatedly without getting a callback. What happened next tells you something important about how this company operates. Staff members Cory and Joe tracked her down, scheduled a repair visit within days, and turned a frustrated one-star reviewer into someone who updated her review to five stars and wrote, "I appreciate the quick response."
Owner Cody Sanoy founded Durahome Painting Plus in 2016 as a locally owned operation based in Saint Paul. The company handles residential and commercial painting across the Greater Twin Cities Metro, with specialties in exterior and interior painting, cabinet refinishing, popcorn ceiling removal, deck and fence staining, and pressure washing. Project coordinator Fernanda, project manager Trevor, and lead crew member Jesus are named throughout customer accounts as central to how jobs get managed and executed.
The licensed and insured team serves Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Maple Grove, Eden Prairie, White Bear Lake, Eagan, and surrounding Twin Cities communities. Free color consultations and a No-Surprise Guarantee, where the quoted price is the final price, are included with every project.

The answer shows up in Samantha Lohse's review, which started as a one-star complaint about chipping bathroom paint and communication breakdowns. After the review went public, team members Cory and Joe reached out fast, coordinated a repair visit, and resolved the issue to her satisfaction. She updated her review to five stars, writing that she appreciated "the quick response." The company's owner also responded directly in writing, acknowledging the communication failure and outlining a clear path to resolution.

Several reviews in the dataset point to communication as a defining strength. Brooke Welle writes that Durahome "communicated well, arrived on time, and completed the job as intended." Matthew Marchini echoes this, noting "communication was excellent" across his exterior painting project, which also included professional cleanup and a return visit for touch-up work. The pattern holds across different project types and crew configurations, suggesting communication is a company-wide standard rather than dependent on a single team member.

Lara Schroeder describes a team that was "very detail-focused" with a result that was "smooth and flawless, completely improving the look of the space." Matthew Marchini notes the job was "executed professionally with precision and care" on his home's exterior, with neighbors noticing the results. Linda Bermea calls the quality of work on her interior woodwork "excellent," though she wished the color consultation she was promised had materialized. The finish quality appears to be a consistent strength across interior and exterior work.

Pricing feedback in reviews runs in both directions. Linda Bermea's headline is simply "great price," and she was satisfied with the overall value of her interior painting. However, Garth Donaldson's one-star review describes an estimate that came in "almost 50% more than the other two companies" he received bids from, paired with a three-hour late arrival from the estimator. The owner responded professionally, noting no record of the appointment in their system. The contrast suggests pricing may vary by project scope and that getting a comparison estimate is worthwhile.

Linda Bermea gave four out of five stars specifically because, in her words, "I was told a colorist would come to help me pick a color and give suggestions but that didn't happen." She added that she wished she had done some areas differently and believed a colorist would have caught what she missed. The company advertises free color consultations prominently on their website, making this gap worth asking about directly when booking to confirm the consultation is scheduled as part of the project process.

Matthew Marchini hired Durahome for his home's exterior and describes the experience as one where the job was "executed professionally with precision and care," the site was "thoroughly cleaned up," and the crew returned for touch-up work. He closes by noting "lot's of compliments from our neighbors," which suggests the visual results were noticeable from the street. Exterior painting is one of Durahome's primary service offerings across the Twin Cities metro.
