About us
Excellence is Our Trademark
At Great Plains Painting, we believe a great paint job does more than improve appearances, it transforms the way you feel about a space. We’re a Central Iowa-based painting company built on professionalism, reliability, and a no-nonsense approach to quality. Owner Jacob Harmelink founded Great Plains Painting with one goal in mind: to deliver exceptional residential and commercial painting services without the hassles, delays, or excuses that too often plague the trades.
Our business is lean, efficient, and subcontractor-based, meaning we focus on strong project management, fast turnaround times, and consistent communication. Whether we’re painting your living room, your commercial storefront, or turning over an entire apartment complex, our systems are designed for a smooth experience and long-lasting results.
We’ve built our reputation on trust and we earn it by showing up on time, sticking to our word, and fixing problems when they arise.
