Seattle Exterior House Painting
SFW Painting provides a wide variety of exterior home painting services in Seattle, including historical home painting, restoration painting, lead removal and encapsulation, and conventional residential home painting. After being in business since 2005, we’re familiar with the Northwest weather and what it takes to protect your home from the elements with a superior paint renovation. Paint protects and beautifies your home while also preserving its longevity and value. As Seattle home exterior paint experts, we know how to pay attention to the small details that make a massive difference in the quality of your home painting project.
Professional Paint Preparation
We begin our Seattle exterior painting process with prep work, which involves power spraying your home’s exterior painted surfaces to remove any accumulated mildew, moss, and grime. In addition, we scrape those same surfaces to create a smooth and clean “canvas” to paint on. 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. After that, we start the exterior painting process by applying a primer coat, which is the first essential layer of paint that serves to protect and seal your Seattle home. The primer coat increases the durability and provides a good exterior home painting surface for your Seattle home.
Interior Painting
The interior painting process must be minimally disruptive to you and your family. As your Portland 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.

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.
