Ballard & Fremont
Old wood-sided bungalows and rowhouses that need genuine scrape-and-prime exterior work, not a quick coat over failing paint. We slow down here.
Painting Seattle Homes Since Day One
House Painters Who Understand Seattle’s Older Homes
Seattle isn’t a city of cookie-cutter houses. A single block in Wallingford can hold a 1910 Craftsman next to a 1940s Tudor next to a boxy modern remodel, and each one asks something different from a painter. Peacock Painting is the family-run crew Seattle homeowners call when they want the finish to actually last, not just look fresh for the first rainy season.
We’ve spent years working on the housing stock that makes this city what it is: cedar-sided bungalows, lap-sided farmhouses, plaster-walled interiors, and the deep front porches that come with them. Old wood behaves differently than new fiber cement. It moves, it holds moisture, and it punishes a rushed prep job. That’s the part most quotes skip over, and it’s the part we build every Seattle project around.
Whether you’re refreshing a single room in a Queen Anne condo or repainting an entire exterior in Ballard, you get the same standard: honest measurements, a written scope, low-VOC products where it matters, and a walkthrough that isn’t finished until you say it is.

Offices, retail, and restaurants repainted around your hours, with minimal downtime for Seattle business owners.
Where We Work
Painting Seattle Neighborhoods, Block by Block
Every part of Seattle has its own architecture, its own light, and its own weather exposure. Here’s how we think about the areas we paint most often.
Queen Anne & Magnolia
Hillside homes and grand older interiors with tall walls and detailed trim. Plaster repair and crisp trim lines are usually the priority.
Wallingford & Green Lake
Classic Craftsman and Tudor stock where matching original character matters. We help you keep the details that make these homes worth living in.
Capitol Hill & Central District
Dense mix of Victorians, apartments, and modern remodels. We coordinate parking, access, and neighbor-friendly schedules for tight lots.
West Seattle & Beacon Hill
Coastal exposure and steady rain call for exterior systems chosen for moisture and mildew resistance, not just color.
Downtown & South Lake Union
Condos, new construction, and storefronts. We work around building rules, business hours, and elevator schedules to keep disruption low.
How We Work
A Clear Process From Quote to Cleanup
Here’s exactly how a Seattle project runs, from the first visit to the final walkthrough.
Free on-site estimate
An estimator visits your home, measures every surface, checks the condition of siding, trim, and walls, and talks through your goals. You leave with a written quote and scope, no guessing over the phone.
Color & Prep Planning
A free at-home color consultation helps you lock in a palette that works in Seattle’s soft, gray light. Then we schedule the job, order paint, and protect your space.
The Actual Painting
We scrape, patch, caulk, prime, and apply two full coats using the right tool for each surface. You get daily updates and a tidy site at the end of every workday.
Walkthrough & Sign-Off
Once the paint dries, we walk the whole project with you under bright light. Nothing gets called done until you agree it’s done, then it’s backed for two years.
Why Seattle Homeowners Choose Us

Not only were they on time and on budget, but the quality of their work is 1st class. We re-did every door, (14 of them), and the entire interior of the house. Detail oriented, willing to go above and beyond (they helped me re-hang my pictures), and we’re always professional and courteous. If I could give 6 stars, I would.

We recently hired Peacock Painting for our house exterior painting and had a great experience. From the beginning, the team was easy to work with, showed up on time, and explained the whole process. They did a thorough pressure wash and prep before starting, which made us feel confident the paint would last.
The exterior paint job turned out beautiful. The siding and trim look clean and even, and the house honestly looks brand new. They also helped us confirm the right exterior paint colors and made sure everything was protected during the project.
The crew kept the area tidy and finished the work when they said they would. If you’re looking for a dependable painting contractor for exterior house painting, siding painting, or repainting your home exterior, Peacock Painting did a really solid job for us.

So happy with Peacock!! Bought my house with all the interior walls being cedar planks with decades of staining and pets marking territory. Johnny and his team covered every inch of my house so thoroughly protecting my belongings. They layered the entire house with oil primer and let it dry before painting. I was very impressed with their knowledge and recognized exactly what needed to be done and how. Everywhere I tried to paint the yellow would surface and look horrible. Everywhere peacock painted, stayed the exact color it was supposed to with such precision and cleanliness! Will use for all my projects in the future!

Peacock Painting
These guys are consummate professionals. They work extremely hard with meticulous attention to detail. They bring a wealth of knowledge, skills and capabilities to the job. We had them lime wash all of our bathrooms and a large den. They also installed a wallpaper mural and wallpapered the kitchen and a bedroom. Finally, they replaced and raised ceilings in three rooms. All of this work made an enormous impact to improving our home. These guys are true artists: their lime wash installations are exceptional works of art. Not only are they talented but they are kind, considerate, and lovely people to work with. We can’t say enough good things about them and feel fortunate to have found them. A+++++++

Answers Before You Ask
Frequently Asked Questions – Painting in Seattle
Yes, that’s most of what we do here. Older Ballard, Wallingford, and Queen Anne homes need real prep: scraping failing paint, spot-priming bare wood, and patching plaster before any topcoat goes on. We plan every quote around the actual condition of your surfaces, not a one-size-fits-all coat.
Late spring through early fall gives the most reliable dry windows, but we watch the forecast closely and can work in shorter breaks between rain when conditions allow. We only apply exterior coatings when the surface and temperature are right, so the paint cures properly and lasts.
It depends on square footage, surface condition, prep needs, and access. We don’t quote flat numbers over the phone because that almost always shortchanges the homeowner. After an on-site visit we give you a written estimate with a clear scope, and the number you’re quoted is the number you’re invoiced.
Not at all. Most Seattle clients are at work during project days. We coordinate access ahead of time, send daily progress updates, and keep the site tidy so coming home each day feels stress-free rather than chaotic.
Premium products applied in two full coats, with low-VOC and zero-VOC options for homes with kids, pets, or sensitivities. We match the finish to the room, so kitchens and bathrooms get moisture-resistant, scrubbable formulations while bedrooms get softer sheens.
Yes. Peacock Painting holds an active Washington State contractor license and carries full liability and workers’ compensation coverage. Your home and everyone working on it are protected for the entire project.
If anything related to our workmanship needs attention within two years of completion, we come back and make it right at no cost to you. It’s a written warranty, not a verbal promise.
