When should I repaint the fiber-cement siding on my Sherwood home?

Most factory finishes on HardiePlank start chalking around year 12 to 15. Run your hand across the siding — if you pick up a powdery residue, the clear coat has broken down and it’s time to prime and recoat.

Does Lenny Martin Painting handle HOA color approvals?

We help clients select colors that comply with their HOA’s architectural guidelines and can provide color-chip submissions if your association requires pre-approval.

How long does a full interior repaint take for a typical Sherwood home?

A standard four-bedroom, 2,200-square-foot home takes three to five working days depending on prep needs and how many colors are involved.

Do you paint garage interiors?

Yes. We coat garage walls and ceilings with a durable satin finish and can coordinate with epoxy floor coating if you want the full treatment.

What paint brands do you use?

We primarily work with Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. Both offer excellent acrylic exterior lines and low-VOC interior products. We’ll recommend the best product for your specific siding and exposure.

Can you paint during Sherwood’s rainy season?

Interior work runs year-round. Exteriors require dry conditions and temperatures above 50°F, which typically limits us to late April through mid-October. We schedule accordingly and never rush a job into marginal weather.

Sherwood Local

Serving Washington

Sherwood has transformed from a quiet farm town into one of Washington County’s most sought-after family suburbs — and its homes reflect every phase of that growth.

Drive through Woodhaven or Archer Glen and you’ll see rows of fiber-cement-sided homes built in the mid-2000s, many now hitting the 15-to-20-year mark where original factory finishes start chalking and fading. Older neighborhoods closer to Sherwood Town Center still have wood-sided homes from the ’80s and ’90s, while newer developments off Edy Road feature LP SmartSide and engineered wood panels. The Tualatin River valley climate brings mild but relentless rain from October through May, and Sherwood’s position on the edge of wine country means morning ground fog that keeps siding damp well past noon.

Lenny Martin Painting provides exterior, interior, and commercial painting throughout Sherwood. Here’s how we approach each service for this community’s specific housing stock and conditions.

Exterior House Painting in Sherwood

Exterior Painting for Sherwood’s Suburban Mix

Fiber-cement siding dominates Sherwood’s newer subdivisions — Windmill Ridge, Archer Glen, the homes lining SW Handley Street. The factory-applied coatings on HardiePlank last about 15 years before they chalk and lose sheen. Left untouched, moisture wicks into seams and trim joints. We also see a recurring issue in Woodhaven: sprinkler overspray staining garage-door trim and lower siding bands, leaving mineral deposits that need chemical treatment before repainting.

For fiber-cement, we clean with a low-pressure detergent wash, address any caulk failures at butt joints and window flashing, spot-prime chalked areas with a bonding primer, and apply two coats of 100% acrylic satin. On the older wood-sided homes near Old Town, we follow the full scrape-and-prime protocol — these houses have three or four paint layers built up over decades, and adhesion testing determines how aggressive the prep needs to be.

A Finish That Holds Up Year After Year

Sherwood homes with fiber-cement siding hold a quality repaint for 10 to 12 years. Wood-sided homes near Old Town average seven to nine. We spec coatings with high-flex formulas to handle the expansion and contraction that comes with Sherwood’s 40-degree temperature swings between summer highs and winter lows.

Interior Painting for Sherwood Homes

Interior Painting for Growing Families

Sherwood skews young-family — the Archer Glen and Edy Ridge neighborhoods are full of homes with kids, pets, and the wall wear that comes with both. We get a lot of calls for full-house repaints from buyers who just closed on a resale home and want to make it theirs before moving in. Our crews can turn a four-bedroom interior in three to five days, working top-down from ceilings through walls to trim.

Builder-grade flat paint on walls is the norm in Sherwood’s 2000s-era homes. It scuffs easily and shows every furniture mark. We upgrade clients to eggshell or satin finishes that wipe clean — a practical move for hallways, stairwells, and kids’ rooms. Open floor plans in Windmill Ridge homes mean color transitions need to be planned carefully; we help clients map out which walls get accent color and where the neutral stops.

Color & Finish Guidance

Sherwood’s family homes look great in warm whites and soft grays — Sherwin-Williams Alabaster or Benjamin Moore Classic Gray work well as whole-house bases. For accent walls in living rooms and primary bedrooms, deeper tones like navy, sage, or terracotta add personality without overwhelming the space.

Commercial Painting in Sherwood

Commercial Painting in Sherwood’s Business Districts

Sherwood’s commercial activity clusters along SW Tualatin-Sherwood Road and the Old Town district near the railroad tracks. The retail spaces at Sherwood Town Center, the office buildings off Century Boulevard, and the restaurants along Main Street all need periodic repaints to stay competitive. We handle both interior refreshes and full exterior recoats for businesses throughout the city.

Retail and restaurant owners in Sherwood can’t afford multi-day closures. We schedule interior commercial work for after-hours or early mornings, using low-odor coatings that let you open on time. For exterior projects on Tualatin-Sherwood Road — the highest-traffic corridor in the city — we stage materials and equipment to minimize sidewalk and parking disruption.
