Our Exterior Painting Process
A good paint job starts long before the first coat goes on.
We treat surface preparation as the foundation of everything we do. That’s what makes the paint last longer, look better, and hold up in Portland’s unpredictable weather.
Here’s how we approach each project:
- Detailed Consultation & Assessment
We start by evaluating the surface condition, discussing your vision, recommending color options, and defining the project scope. - Thorough Surface Prep
Washing – We use pressure washing or hand cleaning to remove dirt, mildew, chalk, and old grime.
Scraping & Sanding – We remove all peeling or flaking paint and smooth rough edges for a solid, even base.
Minor Repairs – We fill small holes and cracks, and with your approval, replace damaged trim or siding sections that could compromise the finish.
Caulking & Sealing – We seal gaps and cracks to keep moisture out and ensure a clean edge where paint meets trim or joints.
Priming – On raw surfaces or problem areas, we apply the appropriate primer to improve adhesion and block stains. - Painting
Once everything is prepped, we apply high-quality exterior paint, using brush, roller, or spray depending on the surface.
We build coverage layer by layer as needed – no rushing, no shortcuts. Trim, corners, edges, and transitions are done with care. - Final Inspection & Cleanup
Before we call it done, we walk the site with you. If something needs a touch-up – we handle it. Then we clean up, remove all materials, and leave the area as neat as we found it.
