Fine Finishes provides interior painting throughout Madison, Wisconsin and the surrounding Dane County communities. Most of our interior work sits within a 25-mile radius of the Capitol, and we schedule crews by corridor so travel time is never billed to you.
Most Sherman housing was built after World War II, in the 1950s and 60s, with some older homes from the 1930s and 40s south of Vahlen Street. That means mostly straightforward single-family exteriors without the layered, multi-era paint history of Madison's older near-downtown neighborhoods — generally a more predictable prep and paint job. Pre-1978 construction throughout most of the neighborhood still means lead-safe practices apply.
Exterior repaints for the neighborhood's 1950s–60s single-family homes near Warner Park are the most common Sherman request.
Cabinet painting is a popular update for kitchens original to the 1950s–60s construction era.
Interior painting rounds out the most-requested services throughout the Sherman neighborhood.
The Northgate and Northside TownCenter shopping areas serve the neighborhood, and Fine Finishes Painting's commercial painting services are available to nearby businesses as part of its broader Dane County coverage.
Typical Sherman work includes an exterior repaint on a 1950s single-family home near Warner Park, or a kitchen cabinet repaint in a home that hasn't been updated since it was built.

The 100% Satisfaction Commitment covers that last step — if anything needs a touch-up afterward, it gets addressed.
Yes, the Sherman neighborhood near Warner Park is part of Fine Finishes' Madison and Dane County service area.
No — this page covers the north-side Sherman/Warner Park neighborhood, which is a different area from the separately named Sherman Avenue Historic District on the isthmus.
Generally, yes — 1950s–60s construction typically has fewer old paint layers and less complex trim detail than homes from the 1800s or early 1900s, which can mean a more predictable prep process.
