Who are Hoosier Boys Painting and Drywall?
Hoosier Boys Painting and Drywall is a family-owned residential painting and drywall contractor based in Valparaiso, Indiana, serving homeowners in Valparaiso, Chesterton, Portage, Hobart and surrounding communities. The company was founded on 13 March 2013 and has been in business thirteen years. Michael Benain, the owner, brings more than twenty-six years of hands-on painting and drywall experience to the work, which is a separate thing from the company's age and worth keeping separate. We run three painting crews and one dedicated drywall crew. The company is residential-first by design: we are not a general contractor, not a commercial specialist, and we would rather do a smaller number of things properly. Preparation, written scopes, daily cleanup and a final walkthrough on every job are the standards we hold to, and the minimum project is $1,000. Products are professional-grade, low-VOC Sherwin-Williams systems throughout.

- Why Hoosier Boys
Why Homeowners Choose Hoosier Boys Painting and Drywall
Every Hoosier Boys project starts the same way: a detailed look at the surface before a single drop of paint goes on. Scraping, sanding, patching, caulking — the steps that don't show up in a photo but show up in how the finish holds. Mike Benain oversees that process personally, backed by Sherwin-Williams materials and a crew that treats preparation as a fundamental part of the work, done with care from the first step.

Every project follows the same structure. Here's what to expect when you work with Hoosier Boys Painting and Drywall.
- Step 01
Complimentary In-Home Consultation
We visit the property, walk through the space with you, and take note of every surface, condition, and detail that affects the scope. You ask questions — we give you straight answers. No commitment required.
- Step 02
Written Proposal and Scheduling
You receive a written proposal that covers the full scope of work, the materials we'll use, the timeline, and the total cost. Once you accept your proposal, we contact you about next steps and confirm a start date when we can place the job on our production schedule.
