About Olson Painting
Hi, my name is Josh and I started painting during high school in my hometown of Forest City, Iowa. My grandfather—a painter for over 40 years—taught me the trade along with the values that guide our work today: clear communication, fair pricing, and solid craftsmanship.
Olson Painting offers professional interior and exterior painting services for Forest City and the surrounding areas. We're a local business committed to quality and customer satisfaction — and take pride in every project we complete.
We keep things simple: no upselling, no surprises — just straightforward service and craftsmanship you can count on.

Great job painting the exterior of my house and garage, friendly crew, hard workers.
I was very happy with the results when Olson Painting assisted with painting my daughter’s room with a fun Sherwin Williams color: Demure (pink). He was efficient, friendly, fair on cost and even did patch work on her walls! Thank you, and I hope to work together again on future projects!
Friendly, professional and affordable. Took the time to understand what I was wanting. Loved the way the accents turned out.
We had Olson Painting and completed the bathroom in one day with perfect cutting to the ceiling and around multiple cabinets and shower! Highly recommend working with Josh Olson! His work is outstanding and he is a true professional!
I recently had Olson Painting paint a couple of bathrooms and bedrooms in my home. Josh and crew are wonderful to work with! They are professional and depenable. When they were finished, the rooms looked beautiful and everything was tidied up. I highly recommend Olson Painting for quality work!
Very happy with the work Josh and his team did at our home. Thank you for a quality job, excellent communication, great clean up after completion, and a fair and honest price! Would definitely use again and highly recommend to others!
