New Town did an excellent job on our project. New Town showed great attention to detail and Frank made sure everything was done perfectly. We are very happy with the results.

Frank and his crew did and excellent job painting our house exterior. The workmanship was excellent and Frank kept us informed every step of the way.

Many years ago while getting bids to paint the exterior of our home, a neighbor referred us to Frank and New Town Exteriors & Painters. Since then, New Town has painted our home exterior, interior, replaced siding, and made chimney repairs for us. Most recently, Frank and his team replaced our roof resulting in a significant homeowners insurance savings as a bonus!

With each project we sought several bids. New Town was the obvious choice. The estimates were always consistent with the competition and the quotes really reflected our needs and expectations. Anytime there was an unexpected issue or complication (every project has them), it was handled by Frank or his crew with professionalism and to everyone’s satisfaction.

We strongly recommend New Town Exteriors & Painters. They are on time, on budget , and very trustworthy. True professionals with exemplary ethics and always high standards!

Frank and his team did a great job. Frank’s integrity and professionalism were outstanding. He kept returning to finish an area that was problematic due to heat and the reaction of the paint. He came back repeatedly until it was fixed. He didn’t stop until it was done. I would definitely hire them again. New Town was a pleasure to work with.

Brian Gilbertson

We had some fairly extensive water damage on our home due to some older poorly installed windows. Frank from New Town came in and assessed the situation, gave us some options and his recommendations on a plan to take care of everything. The bid was very fair so we went forward. From start to finish, the crews were professional, and we felt like they did excellent work. They left the interior and exterior cleaner than they found it, which was very much appreciated. The quality of the painting and staining was so good that we hired them back to touch up the finishes on the rest of the house. I can highly recommend New Town Exteriors & Painters.

My wife and I have used Newtown painters for more than 15 years on multiple projects. Newtown Painters did an absolutely fantastic job on our home! From the first call to the final walk-through, their team was professional, punctual, and detail oriented. The painters were courteous, cleaned up thoroughly each day, and delivered a flawless finish that completely transformed the spaces. I especially appreciated how they kept us updated throughout the project and made sure every detail was just right. If you’re looking for reliable, high-quality painting work at a fair price, I highly recommend Newtown Painters—you’ll be glad you did!

How an Art Degree Changed Everything

Finding a contractor who takes painting seriously AND handles roofing, siding, and gutters with equal care isn’t easy in the Twin Cities area. Most companies lean heavily on one trade and treat the others as an afterthought. New Town Exteriors & Painters has operated as an exterior painting contractor in the Twin Cities, Minnesota, since 1987.

Frank Koubsky founded the company while studying Art and Art History at the University of Minnesota Duluth. That education shaped how he saw homes, how he evaluated color, and how he trained his crews to care about surface preparation and finish quality in ways that most contractors don’t.

What started as a dedicated painting company grew steadily through referrals. In the early 2000s, homeowners started asking for more. They wanted roofing, siding, windows, and gutters from the same company they already trusted for painting. So the company expanded carefully, only when the in-house expertise was actually in place.

Painting Is Still at the Heart of What We Do

Exterior painting is one of the most visible investments a homeowner can make. Done right, it protects the siding and adds real value. Done poorly, it peels within two seasons and costs more to fix than it would have cost to do the first time correctly.

As exterior house painting contractors, New Town Exteriors & Painters handles siding painting, trim painting, door painting, and deck staining. On the interior side, we do wall and ceiling painting, cabinet and woodwork refinishing, custom enameling, wallpaper, and professional color consultation.

Before any paint goes on, we assess the surface condition carefully.

Old caulk, moisture damage, and failing previous coats all get addressed first. Prep work determines how long a paint job lasts, and we treat it accordingly. See how recent projects turned out across residential and commercial properties in the Twin Cities.

When the Roof & Siding Need Attention Too

A paint job on deteriorating siding or around a failing roof is a short-term fix at best. That’s why many of our clients come to us needing more than just paint, and we’re equipped to handle all of it.

New Town Exteriors & Painters installs and replaces asphalt shingles, cedar shakes, metal roofing, and engineered composite roofing. For siding, we work with vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood, metal, stucco, and wood-clad options. We also install windows, bay, casement, single and double hung, horizontal sliding, picture, and stained glass, along with full gutter systems and gutter guard solutions.

When painting and roofing happen as part of one coordinated project, the results are cleaner, and the timeline is shorter. One company, one point of accountability, no gaps between trades.

We also assist with storm damage restoration and insurance claims. If your roof or siding took a hit from wind or hail, we inspect it, document what we find, and help move the insurance process forward.

Commercial Properties Are Part of What We Do

New Town Exteriors & Painters serves commercial clients across the Twin Cities alongside residential homeowners. Property managers and business owners come to us for exterior painting, roofing, siding, windows, and gutter work, all handled by the same in-house team we use on residential projects.

Commercial jobs often come with tighter scheduling windows and higher traffic around the property. We account for that during planning. The quality standard doesn’t shift based on the job type.

Why Choose New Town Exteriors & Painters?

An Artist's Eye Applied to Every Paint Project

Frank’s formal training in art and design gives our approach to painting a different foundation. Color relationships, sheen selection, surface contrast. They’re informed decisions that affect how the finished project looks and holds up over time.

Painting Expertise Backed by Full Exterior Capability

Our roots are in painting, and that craft still drives everything. But because we also handle roofing, siding, windows, and gutters in-house, clients don’t have to start over with a new contractor when the project scope grows.

In-House Crews Across All Trades

Subcontracting creates distance between the company name on the contract and the people actually doing the work. At New Town Exteriors & Painters, our own crews handle the projects we take on. That gives us direct control over quality at every stage.

Honest Estimates From the Start

We assess the property, tell you what we see, and give you a clear written estimate. There’s no inflating the scope to pad the bill. If something doesn’t need replacing, we’ll say so.

Storm Damage Help When You Need It Most

Hail and wind damage can affect roofing, siding, and gutters all at once. We inspect, document, and work through the insurance process with you, so you’re not figuring it out alone while trying to manage a claim.

Excellence in All We Do for You

That’s our company motto, and it applies to every call, every estimate, and every finished project. Residential or commercial, painting or roofing, the standard we hold ourselves to doesn’t vary.

What Working With Us Actually Looks Like

The first step is a conversation about your property and what you want to accomplish. Then we come out, look at the actual condition of the home, and give you a written estimate based on what’s really there. Once work begins, our in-house team stays on schedule and communicates clearly. After the job wraps up, we do a walkthrough with you to make sure the results match what you expected. It’s the same process for a single-room interior paint job and a full exterior renovation with new roofing and siding. The scope changes, but the approach stays consistent.
