Northstar Painting and Sandblasting did an excellent job taking care of the exterior of our home and charged a reasonable price. I would definitely hire them again.
Our home’s exterior needed two different paint colors and the old cedar shakes needed to be cleaned, bleached and re-polyurethaned. It was not an easy job but they did good work, their employees were friendly and hard working, and they made our house look beautiful again.

I hired Northstar to paint the exterior of my house. Luke was very attentive, made sure my questions were answered, and was able to finish painting before a party I was hosting which put him on a quick time frame. My house looks great and I would recommend their services to anyone!

We were very satisfied with the great plaster work Luke did on a 100nyrvpld home. It's been 3 yrs now and not a single cracked has opened up. It looks perfect.
His price was very reasonable.
I volunteered to do the clean up work- since that's something I'm capable of doing.
Thanks Northstar!

Luke came to our home the day after we called him to give us an estimate on painting a few rooms. He quoted us a great price and took a sample of the wall color we wanted to the paint store to get a perfect match. He did our painting job just a few days after his original visit and was able to get it all done in one day. He and his co-worker were very professional and did a wonderful job. We really appreciated how quickly he was able to work us into his schedule and what a fabulous job he and his assistant did. We will definitely use this company again!

We are super happy with the outcome of the staining of our log home. Luke's crew worked hard and fast and they were all so friendly. They gave me their honest opinion on what I was thinking for colors, which I really appreciated. The price was also very reasonable. Time is money, so I was happy to pay them for a project that would have taken us weeks to do! I would highly recommend hiring them to do your project!

Luke is very responsive and willing to listen and respond to questions. He did exactly what he said he would and we are very pleased with the results. His crews were pleasant and also willing to answer questions.
They did the upper half of a cedar shake 100 year old home that we purchased. The soffits and fascia were extremely peeling and they scraped and painted.
Would and have recommended them.

Northstar painting has been amazing to work with. Luke, the owner and his right hand man, Mike, are super responsive, responsible, caring and do great work. There hasn't been a thing that I have needed that has been too big (paint the entire exterior of my home) or too small (hang a picture on the wall) for them to deal with. I have had extensive painting done on the interior of my home, on the exterior, and another home I own. For every job over the years they have been so lovely to work with. Their price is always spot on reasonable. They work fast and diligently and keep their staff moving. I can't recommend them enough.

Luke at Northstar Painting and Sandblasting was professional, efficient, and dedicated to his work. We purchased a home that was in need of full interior painting and removal of the popcorn ceilings.
Luke was amazing every step of the way. The ease of working with him, his attention to detail, and his experience made us happy we went with Northstar.
After they were done, the house we had bought felt more like a home to us and we are so thankful for their hard work.
If you are looking for a professional that cares about the work they do, look no further.

Reviving History: Meticulous Restoration of a Century-Old Sears Kit Home in Duluth's Iconic Woodland Ave
Northstar Painting and Sandblasting proudly presents its latest triumph in craftsmanship and dedication, "Reviving History: Meticulous Restoration of a Century-Old Sears Kit Home in Duluth's Iconic Woodland Ave." Tasked with restoring a 101-year-old Sears kit house, our team embraced the challenge of reviving this historic gem nestled on one of Duluth’s charming hills. By employing innovative techniques such as power washing and hand scraping, our skilled artisans prepared the surface with meticulous attention to detail before applying a protective primer and two lush coats of paint. The project was not without its challenges, as the team had to navigate the delicate architecture and preserve the historical integrity of the home. The results speak for themselves: a vibrant, rejuvenated facade that retains the home's storied charm while ensuring its durability for decades to come. This restoration not only enhances the visual appeal of the Woodland Ave area but also contributes to preserving Duluth's rich architectural history. We invite you to discover how Northstar Painting and Sandblasting can bring unparalleled expertise and passion to your restoration projects. Contact us today to learn how we can assist in preserving the heritage and beauty of your home or community landmark.
