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.
Quality Exterior Home Painting Begins with Thorough Prep Work
You may think it’s all about the final coat of paint, but the prep work represents the essential foundation upon which the painting can occur. Painting without prep work would be like building a house without a foundation – so we sink a lot of time and energy into prepping the exterior of your McMinnville home to be painted.
Efficient paint prep begins by scouring the exterior painted surfaces of your home. First, we power spray, then we scrape the entire surface to remove all the accumulated detritus – the moss, mildew, and grime – so that we have a workable “canvas” to paint upon. After this, we use NP-150 SONOLASTIC caulk to fill in any unwanted cracks or crevices and seal your McMinnville home from the moisture and elements.
The Primer and Final Coat of Paint Are the Icings on the Cake
With a prepped exterior surface, the painting can begin. A primer is used as the first coat, sealing your McMinnville home, serving as a suitable surface upon which to lay the final coat, and increasing the longevity of the overall paint product. The final coat is the one you’ll look at for years to come, so we suggest choosing colors that fill your heart with delight.
To ensure superior quality and durability, SFW Painting uses only high caliber professional residential paints from Rodda, Sherwin Williams, and Miller.

Understanding Exterior Painting Prep
3 MIN READ
Exterior painting transcends mere color application; it demands meticulous preparation, the cornerstone of any successful painting endeavor. This preparatory phase ensures optimal paint adhesion, longevity, and aesthetic appeal.

No, We Can’t Just Paint Over The Rot
2 MIN READ
Painting over rot is a temporary fix that hides but doesn't solve the underlying issue. Rot, caused by prolonged moisture exposure, weakens wood and can lead to structural damage, health hazards, and increased repair costs. Proper treatment involves eliminating moisture sources, removing rotted wood, treating the area, and then repairing and painting the affected parts.
