Interior Painting
The interior painting process must be minimally disruptive to you and your family. As your Kirkland house painter, we will accommodate your busy schedule all year round—including the winter months.
Lead Paint Stabilization
Any home constructed before 1978 may have lead paint. In 1991 the EPA stated that lead-based paint is considered the “number one environmental threat to children’s health in the United States.”
Historic Home Restoration Contractor
Working on historical and vintage homes is a specialized skill set. Understanding the construction methods and materials used for these periods is crucial to these restorations. SFW Painting Contractor specializes in historical home restoration in Portland, Vancouver, and Seattle.
Prep Work For An Exterior Kirkland Paint Job
The Kirkland exterior home painting process begins with extensive prep work, which is essential to achieve positive results.
Our prep work includes:
- Power spraying your Kirkland home to wash away the dust, dirt, and grime, the mildew and moss
- Scrape the entire exterior painted surface to remove any remaining detritus and create a clean “canvas” to paint on
- The last part of the prep is to seal your home from moisture by caulking all the unwanted cracks and crevices with NP-150 SONOLASTIC caulk
