Professional House Painting Services in Portland, OR
Full-service painting for Portland homes, including exterior painting, interior painting, repair-focused preparation, and lead-safe paint removal.
SFW Painting Contractor is a Portland-based painting company specializing in residential painting services, including exterior painting, interior painting, and lead-safe paint removal. We serve homeowners throughout Portland, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, and the surrounding metro area.
Many Portland homes—especially those built before 1978—require more than just a fresh coat of paint. Issues like lead-based paint, moisture damage, dry rot, and failing siding must be properly addressed before painting to ensure long-term performance.
Our approach starts with proper preparation and repair. We handle siding repair, trim repair, and dry rot removal before painting, ensuring your home is structurally sound and properly prepared for long-lasting results in the Pacific Northwest climate.
Every project is built for long-term performance—not just a fresh coat of paint—so your home is protected against moisture, wear, and the demands of the Pacific Northwest climate.
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.”

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.Can You Paint Vinyl Siding?
