Full-Range Painting and Staining Services for Flathead Valley Properties
Kalispell's trusted painting and staining company for the Flathead Valley. We handle interior painting, exterior painting, wood staining, cabinet refinishing, and metal protection for homes and businesses.
Residential and Commercial Painting Services, Built for Montana
Great Northern Solutions was founded on a simple promise: painting and staining services should be efficient, affordable, and dependable. That promise now covers homes and businesses from Kalispell to Whitefish, Bigfork, Columbia Falls, and every town in between, where log siding, cedar decks, and wood fences face brutal freeze/thaw cycles and relentless UV exposure.
As your local painting contractor, we handle the full scope of work under one roof, from a single accent wall to a complete commercial repaint. Whether you're a homeowner refreshing a room or a business owner planning a full property repaint, our professional painters bring the same care to every job. Here's the full lineup:
Every project starts with an honest, no-pressure painting estimate so you know the scope and cost before we pick up a brush.
- Interior painting for walls, ceilings, trim, and baseboards
- Exterior painting and siding protection against Montana's climate
- Wood staining and restaining for decks, fences, and log siding
- Cabinet painting and refinishing for kitchens and bathrooms
- Metal painting and refinishing for railings, gates, and fixtures

Our Process, From First Call to Final Walkthrough
Every project we take on, residential or commercial, follows the same reliable process. You'll always know what's happening next and what it costs before we start.
- 01
Free Consultation and Estimate
We visit your property, walk the space with you, and talk through your goals. You'll get a clear, itemized painting estimate with no surprise add-ons later.
- 02
Surface Prep and Protection
Before any wall painting, wood staining, or metal refinishing begins, we prep the surface fully: cleaning, sanding, patching, pressure washing, and covering the areas around your work zone.
- 03
Professional Application
Our professional painters apply premium paints, stains, and sealants matched to the surface, whether it's interior drywall, exterior siding, log siding, cabinetry, or metal fixtures.
- 04
Final Walkthrough and Cleanup
We walk the finished job with you, touch up anything that needs it, and clean up completely before we leave. You get a finished space, not a mess to deal with afterward.
