House Painters in Franklin, WI

Franklin is home for us — L&N Painters is based right here — and with roughly 9,000 detached homes, it has the largest single-family housing base in the south Milwaukee metro. Much of that stock went up in the 1980s–90s building boom, which means many exteriors around town are reaching first-repaint age: fading, chalking siding and trim that need proper washing, sanding, and priming before a new coat will last. Inside those same homes, the era’s dated color schemes and original kitchen cabinets are ready for a refresh. And threaded among the subdivisions are Franklin’s older, established pockets, where earlier homes need prep planned around their age — explained up front, before a drop of paint. It’s exactly the mix of work we’re built for, in exactly the place we call home.

Franklin’s housing stock, painted right

1980s–90s subdivision homes

The boom-era build-out that defines so much of Franklin — vinyl and aluminum siding now fading and chalking into first-repaint age, washed, prepped, and primed so the new coat actually lasts.

Older, established pockets

Franklin’s earlier homes and mature neighborhoods — repaints planned with careful, era-appropriate prep, explained before any finish coat goes on.

Built for Wisconsin weather

Freeze-thaw cycles, summer sun, and humidity are hard on every exterior here — we prep and prime for the climate so your repaint shrugs off Southeastern Wisconsin seasons.

Based right here in Franklin — painting homes from the established older pockets to the subdivisions out by the Root River Parkway and Ballpark Commons.

Homes built before 1978 may have lead-based paint, and before any work starts we’ll tell you plainly whether your project requires a certified lead-safe renovator.

Painting Franklin — our home base

First-repaint homes reward careful painters.

Franklin’s 1980s–90s boom-era housing stock is hitting first-repaint age all at once — exactly the work we’re built for, right here where we’re based.

First-repaint prep

Fading, chalking siding gets washed clean, sanded, and spot-primed — the unglamorous prep that decides whether a repaint on a 1980s–90s home lasts fifteen years or peels in three.

Older established pockets

Franklin’s earlier homes — original wood trim, mature trees, tighter lots — get careful, era-appropriate prep, explained up front before any finish coat goes on.

Era kitchens, new life

Sprayed cabinet refinishing and trim repaints that update a 1980s–90s kitchen without gutting it — a fraction of the cost of new boxes.

Neighborly job sites

Drop cloths, dust control, and a tidy pack-up every day — we work like we live here, because we do.

Exterior scheduling: exterior paint needs sustained warmth to cure, so in SE Wisconsin outdoor work runs from spring through mid-fall. Send this form whenever you’re ready and we’ll tell you straight whether your siding or trim still fits the current season — we’d rather book you a clean start next season than rush a job that won’t last. Interiors and cabinets, of course, we paint all winter.
