Grand Rapids Painting for Historic Interiors and City New Builds
Grand Rapids is not one kind of house. Heritage Hill still carries plaster and original millwork, while East Hills, Alger Heights, and Eastgate are bungalows on tight lots, and downtown condos plus West Side infill want a modern, level finish. Frontjes Painting works that mix from our Caledonia shop, a short drive south of the city.
A finish that matches the house, not a formula
This page is for the city of Grand Rapids. East Grand Rapids is next door and has its own page. The work here is wider: historic interiors, occupied bungalows, condos, commercial interiors, and custom new construction on the edges of town.
New construction finishing
West Side infill, Belknap lots, and custom builds on the city’s south and east edges run on close dates. We paint to the builder’s schedule so drywall, trim, and flooring stay on track.Spray-shop finish
Doors, cabinets, and millwork leave a Grand Rapids job and go to our Alto spray shop. They come back smooth and even, then we install them clean. That matters on Heritage Hill woodwork and on new condo millwork alike.Interior & exterior repaints
A Heritage Hill interior is a different job than a ranch on the West Side. We match prep to the surface: scraped clapboard, old enamel trim, or a full interior in Eastgate and Belknap. KEIM mineral silicate is available when you want a breathable finish on brick. We offer it as a service. We do not pretend every block already has it.Cabinets & built-ins
East Hills and Alger Heights kitchens often keep the boxes and change the finish. We spray cabinets in the shop so you get a durable, factory-level look without a full gut. Built-ins in older Grand Rapids homes get the same process: off, sprayed, back on, lines clean.Clean, respectful crews
Downtown condos and occupied city homes leave little room for overspray. We mask, contain, and leave the unit livable. Crew size is 8 to 14, so we can staff a whole-house interior without camping in your rooms for weeks. Street parking and HOA rules are part of the plan, not a surprise.25+ years, 5 stars
Josh Frontjes started this company in 1999. The city has added condos, infill, and new custom work since then. The standard is the same: prep, a level finish, and a walkthrough we stand behind.
