    Three decades of residential and commercial painting across the Portland metro — from Gresham to Beaverton, Corbett to Wilsonville.

    Oregon’s climate punishes exterior paint. Wet winters drive moisture into siding joints, summer UV breaks down finishes on exposed walls, and moss colonizes anything that stays shaded. Interior projects require careful scheduling around families, pets, and work-from-home routines. Commercial repaints demand coordination with tenants, customers, and operating hours. We handle all three with the same approach: assess the actual conditions, prep thoroughly, communicate clearly, and deliver a finish that holds up.

    Exterior House Painting

    Prep-First Exterior Painting for Oregon Weather

    A lasting exterior starts with honest prep. Homes across the Portland metro face long wet stretches, UV that hits different elevations unevenly, trim joints that open over time, and old coatings that fail differently depending on the side of the house. We evaluate those conditions first, scrape to a sound substrate, caulk every transition, prime bare wood, and apply premium acrylic latex finishes rated for Pacific Northwest conditions.

    The result is not just a cleaner look from the curb — it’s a finish that performs year after year instead of peeling by the next winter.

    • On-site estimates based on actual surface condition, not square footage alone
    • Pressure washing, scraping, sanding, and caulking matched to failure points
    • Spot priming bare wood and minor rot repair before finish coats
    • Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore paints selected for the exposure
    • Protection for windows, landscaping, walkways, and surrounding surfaces
    • Trim, fascia, soffit, doors, railings, and deck/porch staining

    Interior Painting

    Interior Painting Designed for Occupied Homes

    Most interior projects happen while families are living in the house. We paint room by room, protect floors and furniture, use low-VOC paints to keep odor down, and sequence the work so your household routine continues with minimal disruption. The process matters as much as the final color.

    Portland metro homes range from 1920s Craftsman bungalows with plaster walls and original wood trim to modern open-concept builds with smooth drywall and vaulted ceilings. Each surface type requires different primer, paint, and technique. We assess every room and match our approach to what’s actually on the wall.

    • Room-by-room scheduling around your family’s daily routine
    • Complete floor, furniture, and fixture protection before any painting
    • Walls, ceilings, trim, crown molding, doors, and cabinet painting
    • Drywall repair, plaster patching, and texture matching
    • Low-VOC paints for comfortable occupied-home conditions
    • Color and sheen guidance based on room use and natural light

    Commercial Painting

    Commercial Painting Built Around Your Business

    Offices, retail spaces, restaurants, medical practices, and tenant-occupied buildings all need periodic repainting — and each has different constraints on access, timing, and disruption tolerance. We coordinate around your operating hours, phase the work to keep customer-facing areas accessible, and use commercial-grade coatings that dry fast with minimal odor.

    Whether the scope is a single suite refresh or a full building exterior, we bring the same prep standards, scheduling coordination, and finish quality to every commercial project.

    • Pre-project walkthrough to align scope with your business schedule
    • Flexible scheduling — days, evenings, or weekends as needed
    • Interior and exterior commercial painting with phased work plans
    • Low-VOC, fast-drying commercial paints to minimize downtime
    • Protection for equipment, displays, signage, and customer areas
    • Punch-list accountability and clean project handoff

    Do you handle both residential and commercial painting?

    Yes. We handle exterior house painting, interior painting for occupied homes, and commercial repainting for offices, retail, restaurants, and other business properties.

    What is included in a painting estimate?

    Every estimate is built from an on-site walkthrough. We evaluate the surfaces, document prep needs, discuss scope and timing, and provide a clear, itemized quote with no hidden fees.

    What paint brands do you use?

    We use premium acrylic latex paints from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, selected for adhesion, durability, and performance in Oregon’s climate. We choose the specific product based on the surface material and exposure.

    How long does exterior paint last in Oregon?

    With proper prep and quality paint, expect 7 to 12 years depending on the exposure. South- and west-facing walls weather faster. The single biggest factor in longevity is the quality of prep work.
