About Us

Hi, I’m Ryan Cunningham. I’ve been a painting contractor in the Minneapolis area since 2001, and I still paint full-time with my son Keegan at our company, Grove Painting.

After years of sharing painting tips and project walkthroughs on my YouTube channel and blog, I realized something frustrating: the paint industry is making DIY projects harder for homeowners, not easier.

Just walk down the brush aisle at a big box store—foam, Chinex, natural, ox hair (yes, really), polyester, corner brushes, sash brushes, fan brushes, chip brushes, angled, straight, stubby, long. Dowel handles. Beavertail. Fluted. It’s a wall of options… and almost none of them tell you what you actually need to get the job done.

So I started DIY Painting to fix that.

Our mission is simple: Help DIYers get professional results using straightforward tools that actually work. No fluff. No specialty nonsense. Just the same systems and tools I use every day on real jobs—made beginner-friendly for homeowners who want to do it right the first time.

DIY Painting Supply is a family business. My wife Kelly does the amazing photography. My daughter helps on jobs after school. We’re small, but everything we do is built with real-world experience and a genuine desire to help you succeed.

If you’re painting your cabinets, your walls, or your whole house—thank you for trusting us with your project. I love hearing from DIYers and customers, so feel free to reach out with questions anytime.

Thanks for stopping by,
—Ryan
