Locally owned interior and exterior painting for the City of Fitchburg, WI — directly bordering Madison to the south. Free estimates.
Fitchburg borders Madison directly to the south, about 6 miles from downtown. Originally the Town of Greenfield, it was renamed Fitchburg in 1853 and became a city in 1983 following a lengthy annexation dispute with the City of Madison that reached the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Rather than a single traditional Main Street, Fitchburg's commercial activity centers on the Fish Hatchery Road / McKee Road corridor and the Fitchburg Center development.
Fine Finishes Painting offers interior painting, exterior painting and cabinet painting for homes throughout Fitchburg. Free estimates are available across Dane County — Call 608-354-4105 or request a quote online.
The Badger State Trail, Ice Age Trail, and Cannonball bike path all pass through Fitchburg, connecting it to Madison's broader trail network, and the Nine Springs natural corridor runs through the city as well. Because Fitchburg only became a city in 1983 and grew up around several older townships, it's split across three separate school districts rather than one: Verona Area, Oregon, and Madison Metropolitan.

Because Fitchburg only incorporated as a city in 1983, its housing stock skews newer overall compared to Madison's older core neighborhoods, with continued new subdivision development. Older pockets that predate 1978 still fall under lead-safe prep practices so it's worth confirming your home's age with your contractor before any prep work begins.
Exterior painting is the most requested service for Fitchburg's mostly newer housing stock.
Cabinet painting gives Fitchburg kitchens an updated look without a full renovation.
Interior painting rounds out the most-requested Fitchburg services.
