Since our beginnings in 1991 as Schoenfelder Painting, we have completed more than 18,640 projects in hospitality, senior living, student housing, multi-family, restaurant, healthcare and retail.

Led by CEO Mark Schoenfelder, we are licensed in 48 states and headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with experienced Project Managers, Site Supervisors and estimators who mobilize project-specific teams wherever the work is.

• Solutions-Focused - bring answers and alternatives, not just problems.
• Open Communication - be direct, timely and honest with clients and each other.
• Teamwork and Mutual Success - individual success and company success carry equal weight.
• Servant Leadership - support the people doing the work and clear obstacles.
• Safety and Quality Workmanship - prioritize safety, training and craftsmanship on every project.
