Meet the Owner
Joshua Olson


I started painting in high school in my hometown of Forest City, IA. My grandfather—a painter for over 40 years—taught me the trade along with the value of integrity and honest work.
After studying at the University of Iowa, I came back to Forest City and started Olson Painting in 2022. Now also serving Adel, my aim is to provide high-quality professional services to our local community while still maintaining a small-town, personal approach.
When I'm not painting, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, playing my banjo, or being involved at my local church. If you see me around town, feel free to say hi!
