Primetime Painting

Our Story

Primetime Painting was founded in 2007 by Lee Gardner, a lifelong painter with over 20 years of experience in the industry. Lee's journey began at a young age, working alongside his father in his own painting business. This early exposure instilled in Lee a deep-rooted understanding of the trade and a passion for delivering exceptional results. After graduating from the University of Iowa's business school, Lee decided to bring his expertise and enthusiasm to the Iowa City community.

Driven by a meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to client satisfaction, Primetime Painting quickly established itself as a leading painting company in the area. Our success is a testament to Lee's dedication, coupled with the hard work and professionalism of our entire team.

Beyond the business, Lee is a devoted family man, raising his daughter Charli and twin sons, Gibson and Grady, with his wife Mindy in West Branch. Our core values are deeply ingrained in both our professional and personal lives, shaping our interactions with clients and our commitment to the community.
