Interior Painting

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.
The First Stage of Exterior Painting
To begin with, we start with a crucial stage of exterior painting: prep work. This involves power spraying your Lake Oswego home’s exterior painted surfaces to remove any accumulated mildew, moss, and grime. Then, we scrape those surfaces to create a smooth and clean “canvas” upon which to paint. After that, we finish the prep process by filling any unwanted cracks with NP-150 SONOLASTIC caulk, which helps to weatherproof your home and keep the moisture outside.
Lastly, the SFW Painting, Lake Oswego exterior painting process continues with the primer coat. This is the first essential layer of paint that serves to protect and seal your Lake Oswego home. The primer coat increases the durability and provides a valuable surface for the final coat to adhere to. We use the best paints from Rodda, Miller, and Sherwin Williams and have excellent bonding primers.

One of the ways we serve our clients is by offering multiple payment options. We accept cash, check, and all major credit cards. We have also built the best direct-dealer financing program of any local contractor.
