House Painting Contractor for King and Snohomish County Homes

Exterior Painting

Siding, trim, soffits, and front doors take a beating from Pacific Northwest rain and moss. We paint cedar, fiber cement, vinyl, and other siding common on homes across the region. Exterior painting is scheduled around dry weather, because paint applied to damp siding does not bond or cure well, so we set start dates with the forecast in mind.

Interior Painting

Inside, we paint walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and railings in kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms, and home offices. Interior painting runs year-round, because it does not depend on the weather the way exterior work does. Most homeowners stay in the house during the project, so the crew protects floors, furniture, and fixtures to keep the rest of your home livable while we work.

Cabinet Painting

Painting kitchen and bathroom cabinets gives a dated room a new look at a lower cost than replacement, as long as the cabinet boxes are in good shape. Your layout, countertops, and plumbing stay in place, so the room changes without the disruption of a remodel. A new color is often all a sound but dated kitchen or bathroom needs.

Deck and Fence Staining

We stain decks, railings, and fences to protect the wood and bring back its color, and we paint fences when a solid finish suits the property better. Rain and moss wear down unprotected wood quickly here, so stain is protection as much as appearance. We check for boards that need repair first, so the finish goes on sound wood.

Property managers and HOA boards can see our multi-family painting services for condos, apartments, and townhomes, and business owners can see our commercial painting services.

Painting the Interior and Exterior Together, or in Phases

Some homeowners paint everything at once. One crew, one schedule, and one color plan make it easier to coordinate the siding, trim, doors, and interior so the house reads as a whole. Painting both at once also lets you choose interior colors that work with the new exterior, instead of matching an older one later.

Others split the work into phases. Exterior painting depends on dry weather, while interior work can happen year-round, so you might schedule the exterior for summer and move indoors during fall or winter. Phasing can also spread the cost over a longer period. If the exterior is showing wear first, starting outside protects the house while you plan the inside.

How Long Does It Take to Paint a House?

There is no single number. The main factors are the size of the home, the number of stories, the condition of the surfaces, and how much prep they need. Painting the interior, the exterior, or both changes the length of the job, and exterior work also waits on dry weather.

Peeling paint, damaged boards, or soft trim can extend the job, while a well-maintained home typically moves faster. Your written estimate includes an expected timeline for your specific house, so you can plan around it before work starts. Homes with more trim detail, several colors, or tall peaks and gables also take longer to prep and paint.

Older Homes and Lead-Safe Painting

Homes built before 1978 may have lead-based paint beneath newer coatings, and there is plenty of older housing stock across King and Snohomish County. Scraping or sanding those surfaces can release lead dust, so containment and cleanup matter as much as the paint itself.

Legacy Painting is EPA Lead-Safe Certified (RRP), and our crews follow lead-safe practices on pre-1978 homes. For you, that means the work area is contained, dust is controlled during prep, and the area is cleaned to lead-safe standards before the crew leaves.
