We're based in Dubuque, about 72 miles / 1 hour 17 minutes from Cedar Rapids via US-151 S. Out here, we focus exclusively on commercial and larger-scale work — office, retail, multi-family, healthcare, and industrial buildings — scheduled in blocks so the trip makes sense for everyone.
Iowa's second-largest city and a major insurance, manufacturing, and industrial hub — corporate offices, downtown and New Bohemia district buildings, and a strong base of commercial and multi-family property. We take on Cedar Rapids projects as commercial-only work — the distance from Dubuque makes one-off residential jobs impractical for our size of crew, but it's exactly the kind of market where a focused, well-run commercial job is worth the trip.
Insurance and corporate office buildings, scheduled evenings or weekends to stay out of your way.
Interior and exterior coatings built for Cedar Rapids' manufacturing and processing facilities.
Apartment turnovers and portfolio work for property managers with multiple buildings.
Downtown and New Bohemia-area storefronts, phased so you stay open.
Clinics and medical office buildings with strict scheduling and low-odor requirements.
Larger-format coatings for commercial and light-industrial buildings.
Fully licensed and insured, with certificates of insurance provided on request — no chasing paperwork before a bid gets approved.
Evenings, weekends, or phased sections so your storefront stays open. We plan the job around your hours, not ours.
You work directly with Mark from bid to walkthrough — no call center, no account rep shuffle, no markup from a middleman.
Cedar Rapids jobs get batched and scheduled in advance so the crew, materials, and timeline are locked before we're on site — no surprises, no delays.
“We initially planned to paint the interior of our new house ourselves, mostly to save money. However, I reached out to Mark to get an estimate and after discussing with my husband, we made the investment to have Mark professionally paint our house. It's one of the best decisions we made while building our house. Coordinating colors, sheens, contract, etc. with Mark was incredibly easy and quick. The crew was professional, punctual and the quality was above all of our expectations.”
“Mark and his crew were phenomenal. Starting out with a reasonable bid, they were all personable, professional, and efficient, and made sure the rooms looked great every day. Would have them paint again and again!”
“We are very happy with Fuehrer Painting. They painted our shutters, doors and garage doors. The transformation of our home is amazing. We highly recommend Mark and the team.”
We're based in Dubuque, about 72 miles / 1 hour 17 minutes from Cedar Rapids. That's a real trip, so we're upfront about it: Cedar Rapids work gets scheduled in blocks, planned in advance, and reserved for commercial and larger-scale projects where one well-organized visit makes sense for both of us. Reach out early and we'll work out a timeline that fits your project.
Also taking on commercial work in: Madison, WI · Iowa City, IA. Closer to home, we cover a full tri-state area of residential and commercial markets — see the full commercial painting overview.
