Detailed process
Services
Exterior Painting
Our exterior painting service enhances home value and durability through meticulous preparation including pressure washing, scraping, and specialty caulking. We use premium Sherwin-Williams and Rodda Paint products to withstand Pacific Northwest weather conditions. Our crews handle trim, accents, and full home exteriors while addressing moisture sources to prevent future damage.
Lead Paint Removal
As EPA-certified specialists, we safely remove and encapsulate lead paint using strict containment protocols. Our process includes testing, HEPA vacuuming, and applying bonding primers to stabilize hazardous materials. We integrate structural repairs through SFW Construction to address dry rot or siding issues discovered during removal.
Historic Restoration
We preserve architectural integrity through period-accurate color matching and traditional techniques. Our team handles complete paint removal, wood restoration, and millwork repair while maintaining historical authenticity. Specialized carpentry services address unique challenges of pre-1978 structures during restoration projects.
Commercial Painting
Our commercial services cover multifamily housing, office buildings, and HOA communities with minimal business disruption. We manage large-scale projects using experienced crews and supervisors trained in OSHA-certified safety protocols. Services include lead and asbestos abatement, elastomeric coatings, and LEED-compliant paint systems.
Interior Painting
We provide minimally disruptive interior painting with low-VOC paints and efficient scheduling. Our process includes furniture protection, surface preparation, and specialty finishes for trim, cabinets, and millwork. We address moisture issues in kitchens and bathrooms using mold-resistant coatings and proper ventilation techniques.
Questions
Do I need to paint siding after installation?
Yes, except vinyl siding. We use pre-primed materials and ensure proper preparation for lasting protection.
Do you handle repairs during painting projects?
Yes, we seamlessly integrate siding, dry rot, and structural repairs into painting projects through our construction division.
How do you help with exterior color selection?
We offer color consultations, visualizers, seasonal palettes, and wet sample testing to ensure perfect color matches.
Can vinyl siding be painted?
Yes, with manufacturer-approved paints in the same or lighter color to prevent warping issues.
What preparation is needed before painting?
Move valuables 15 feet from the house, remove decorations, and clear areas for safe, efficient work access.
Why is primer important?
Primer seals surfaces, prevents moisture damage, and ensures proper paint adhesion for longer-lasting results.
