SFW Painting Specializes In Mukilteo Exterior Home Painting
We realize your Mukilteo home is one of your most valued possessions and a private place for you and your family.

Interior Painting
The interior painting process must be minimally disruptive to you and your family. As your Mukilteo house painter, we will accommodate your busy schedule all year round—including the winter months.

The Four-Phase Paint Strategy
Our painting work employs a four-phase strategy: planning, prepping, priming, painting.
- Planning: We assess the exterior of your Mukilteo home to take stock of all the details we need to take into consideration
- Prepping: We remove all the accumulated debris and, in some cases, dilapidated materials from the exterior of your home. We power spray and scrape the entire exterior painted surfaces to arrive at a clean “canvas” on which to paint. Then we seal your Mukilteo home with NP-150 SONOLASTIC caulking to weatherproof it.
- Primer: The first coat of paint to cover the entire exterior of your Mukilteo home. It provides an initial layer of paint that insulates, seals, and protects your home, while also serving as an effective layer for the final coat set upon.
- Painting: We accomplish the final phase with your help. You get to choose the unique colors you want for the exterior of your Mukilteo home. You are free to choose any color pairings, and we hope you pick the ones that give you that special feeling of home sweet home.
Once the work is done, we conduct a thorough clean-up process, leaving your home and property sparkling clean.
