Bothell isn’t one kind of neighborhood, and it shouldn’t be painted like one. The older homes near downtown and along Bothell-Everett Highway have cedar siding, wood trim, and decades of settling that need real repair before a brush touches them. Meanwhile the developments around North Creek, Canyon Park, and Thrashers Corner are newer, but they were sprayed with thin builder-grade paint that scuffs the first year.
We’re a family-run crew, and we’ve painted enough houses on both sides of the freeway to know the difference. A shaded lot off Waynita Way holds moisture on the north face of the siding, so moss and mildew show up years before the paint actually fails. A sun-exposed elevation near Fitzgerald bakes the south wall and fades color faster. We adjust prep and product for the wall in front of us, not a one-size template.
Every project is handled by the same in-house team from the first walkthrough to the final punch list, and backed by our 2-year workmanship guarantee.
Whether you need a single room refreshed or a full-property repaint, one crew handles the whole job so you’re never coordinating multiple contractors.
Walls, ceilings, trim, and millwork with clean cut lines, low-VOC paint, and full furniture protection so you can keep living in the house while we work.
Siding, fascia, soffits, and trim prepped for the wet Eastside climate. We wash, scrape, prime, and seal so the coat actually lasts through Bothell winters.
Cedar, pressure-treated, and hardwood decks cleaned, sanded, and refinished to hold up against Pacific Northwest rain and shade.
Offices, retail, and restaurants around Canyon Park and the business district, scheduled for minimal downtime and finished on nights or weekends when needed.
This early-1900s Craftsman sits on a tree-shaded lot near downtown Bothell. The north-facing cedar had trapped moisture for years, and the original paint was peeling in sheets while moss crept up the lower boards. A quick spray-over would have failed within a season.
We power-washed and treated the siding, scraped and sanded the failing areas down to sound wood, replaced two rotted trim boards, then spot-primed every bare and patched spot before the finish coats.
The homeowners kept the historic color scheme but went a shade deeper on the body for better contrast with the cream trim.
The result held its finish through the following wet winter with no lifting or bleed-through, which is exactly the point of doing the prep right. Want the same care on your exterior? See our exterior painting service or ask about it during your estimate.
Most paint that fails early didn’t fail because of the paint. It failed because the surface underneath wasn’t ready. In Bothell that shows up faster than most places, damp winters, tree cover, and long stretches of wet weather all pull at a finish that was rushed.
Our prep is the unglamorous half of every job, and it’s where cheaper crews cut corners. Here’s what happens before we open a can of finish paint:
Historic, mid-century, and lakeside homes across Kirkland get the same careful prep and finish.
New-construction repaints and builder-grade upgrades for Redmond’s fast-growing neighborhoods.
It depends on the size of the home, the condition of the surfaces, and the paint you choose. A single interior room is a small job, while a full interior or a complete exterior repaint is much larger. Older Bothell homes that need wood repair or extra prep run higher than a straightforward newer build. Every estimate is free, on-site, and written out so you can see exactly what’s included.
Yes, and it’s some of our favorite work. Older Craftsman and cedar-sided homes need real repair, moss treatment on shaded walls, wood replacement, and careful priming, before they’re painted. We handle all of that in-house rather than spraying over problems.
As a rough guide, interiors hold up well for five to seven years, and exteriors usually need attention every seven to ten years here. Shaded, tree-covered, and north-facing walls tend to need it sooner because they stay damp longer through our wet season.
We do both with the same in-house crew. A lot of Bothell homeowners bundle an interior refresh with an exterior repaint, which keeps the whole project under one schedule and one point of contact.
A single room is often one to a few days. A full interior usually runs several days, and an exterior repaint depends on the size of the home and how much prep the siding needs. We give you a realistic timeline in the estimate, not a guess.
Every project comes with a 2-year workmanship guarantee. If something we painted isn’t holding up the way it should, we come back and correct it.
Yes. We’re a licensed and insured Washington painting contractor, so you’re fully covered from the first walkthrough to the final coat.
