Frequently Asked Questions

• How long does an exterior painting project take?

  Most residential exterior projects take 3-7 days depending on the size of your home and the amount of prep work required.

  We use premium exterior paints from trusted brands formulated for the Pacific Northwest climate with superior adhesion, mildew resistance, and UV protection.

• Can you paint in Seattle's rainy weather?

  We carefully schedule exterior projects around weather windows. Most exterior paints require dry conditions and temperatures above 50°F.

• Do you offer warranties on exterior painting?

  Yes, we stand behind our workmanship with a satisfaction guarantee. We also inform you about manufacturer warranties on the products we use.

• How much does exterior painting cost in Seattle?

  Trim and door painting starts at $500. Partial exterior work (1-2 sides) starts at $1,500. A full house exterior starts at $3,500. Final pricing depends on the size of your home, surface condition, and paint selection. We provide free, detailed estimates.

• How often should I repaint the exterior of my home in Seattle?

  In the Pacific Northwest, most homes need exterior repainting every 5-8 years depending on the siding material, paint quality, and sun exposure. South-facing and west-facing walls may need attention sooner due to increased UV exposure.

• Do I need to repair wood rot before painting?

  Yes — painting over rotted wood will not protect it and the new paint will fail quickly. We inspect for rot during our estimate and repair or replace damaged wood before painting. This is included in our surface preparation process.

• What's the best time of year to paint a house exterior in Seattle?

  The ideal window is late spring through early fall (May-September) when temperatures are consistently above 50°F and rain is less frequent. We monitor weather closely and schedule around dry periods to ensure proper paint adhesion and curing.
