Exterior Painting in the Seattle–Tacoma Area
A flawless paint job, on time, at the price we quoted — or you don’t pay the balance.
Around Puget Sound, exterior paint isn’t decoration — it’s armor. Nine months of sideways rain will find every shortcut a painter takes, usually within two winters.
So we don’t take them. Wash, scrape, sand, spot-prime, caulk, then paint — in that order, every time, with coatings made for this climate. The pretty part only lasts if the boring part was done right.
What’s included
- Pressure wash and surface prep (scrape, sand, spot-prime)
- Caulking gaps and sealing seams against moisture
- Siding, trim, fascia, soffits, doors, and shutters
- Lead-safe practices on pre-1978 homes (we’re certified for it)
- Premium exterior coatings rated for PNW rain and UV
- Daily site cleanup and full plant/hardscape protection
The details that make the difference
We watch the weather so you don’t
Surfaces need to be dry and warm enough for paint to cure. We schedule around real forecasts and won’t spray your house the day before a storm just to stay on calendar.
Prep is 80% of the job
Paint fails from underneath. The washing, scraping, and priming you’ll watch us do for days is the reason the finish coat lasts for years.
Minor repairs handled
Small siding repairs, wood filler on damaged trim, replacing failed caulk — we handle the little stuff in-line instead of painting over problems.
Exterior projects, step by step
Wash
Pressure wash to strip dirt, chalk, and moss — paint won’t stick to grime.
Prep
Scrape failing paint, sand edges smooth, spot-prime bare wood, caulk every gap.
Paint
Two coats of premium exterior coating, brushed and rolled where it matters.

Exterior questions, straight answers
When can you paint exteriors in western Washington?
Reliably from late spring through early fall. We need dry surfaces and temperatures above roughly 50°F to get a proper cure. Summer slots book up first — spring quotes get the best dates.
How long should an exterior paint job last here?
With real prep and quality coatings, 8–10 years on most siding — longer on fiber cement, a bit less on weathered cedar. Skipped prep is why some houses peel in three.
What happens if it rains mid-project?
We pause. Paint applied to damp wood fails early, full stop. Your schedule already includes weather buffer, and our on-time guarantee accounts for the days we genuinely can’t paint.
My house was built before 1978 — is that a problem?
It just means lead-safe prep: containment, careful scraping, and proper cleanup per EPA RRP rules. We’re set up for it, and it’s built into your quote rather than discovered halfway through.
Do you repair siding too?
Minor repairs, yes — split trim, small siding sections, failed caulk. If we find bigger structural issues during prep, we’ll show you photos and talk options before touching anything.
