Exterior Home Painting Begins with The Prep Work
High caliber painting begins with the prep work. First, we pressure wash the exterior of your home to remove all the dirt and grime, the moss, mildew and other detritus that has accumulated over the years. Then we thoroughly scrape the entire exterior painted surface to arrive at a clean and smooth area on which to paint. Throughout this process, we use drop cloths to catch any and all unwanted materials so they can be disposed of safely. In other words, we leave your property looking as good as your home! The prep work also involves sealing your home with NP-150 SONOLASTIC caulking, which protects your home from inundation with moisture and increases the longevity of the final paint product.
Interior Painting
The interior painting process must be minimally disruptive to you and your family. As your Vancouver 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.

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.
