SFW Painting Specializes in Exterior Home Painting
Giving your Oregon City home an exterior makeover is an exciting prospect. Renovating your home through having it repainted can make all the difference in the enjoyment and pride you take in one of your most valuable investments. Plus, home is where the heart is, so you want your home to feel as perfect as can be.
SFW Painting knows that attention to detail makes a huge impact in the outcome of painting your Oregon City home. Conducting highly effective painting work means taking into consideration the rainy, wet, and volatile weather that is so prevalent throughout the Pacific Northwest. At SFW Painting, we’re all Oregon natives who have experienced lifetimes of such weather and are skilled in protecting your home when we paint it.
Interior Painting
The interior painting process must be minimally disruptive to you and your family. As your Oregon City 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.”

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.
Paint Prep is Essential to A Successful Oregon City Exterior Painting
Just like building a house, the exterior painting of your Oregon City home requires preparation that lays a foundation for a solid and remarkable outcome. That’s why we sink so much time and energy into prepping your home for that final magical coat of paint. Prep work for painting starts with pressure washing all exterior paint surfaces, removing the dust and dirt, grime, mildew, and mold. After this, we scrape the exterior to thoroughly remove any remaining detritus and to smooth the surface, so it is clean and ready to be painted.
More than cleaning, prep work is also about protecting your home from the elements. To do this, we seal it with NP-150 SONOLASTIC caulking, which increases the longevity of your new paint finish and keeps the moisture outside.
Steps Taken for Exterior Home Painting: First the Primer, then the Final Coat!
We can’t emphasize enough how important the first coat of paint is – also known as the primer. The primer adds a layer of protection and helps the final coat adhere better to your home, while also increasing the durability and longevity of the overall paint product. Rest assured, we use only first-rate paints from Miller, Rodda, and Sherwin Williams in the primer and final coats.
Once the primer is laid, you choose the color of paint you want to see every time you come home. We encourage you to choose colors that express your personality and taste, and work with you to arrive at the perfect color pairings.

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.
