Exterior Painting is a home improvement service that prepares and coats outside walls, siding, trim, doors, and related surfaces.

Exterior painting starts with the surfaces that need work. We review siding, trim, doors, fascia, and other painted details, then identify peeling paint, open caulk joints, surface wear, and areas that need repair before coating. Preparation shapes the final result. Our plan may include cleaning, scraping loose paint, sanding rough areas, repairing small surface defects, and priming exposed material. We then apply the agreed exterior finish to the listed surfaces and check the work before the final walkthrough. The right engagement depends on your home's condition and your goal. A focused trim refresh differs from a broader siding repaint, while damaged wood or larger repairs can change the scope. We recommend scoping those choices before work begins, so the estimate reflects the actual surfaces and prep needs.

Best remodel experience we have ever had. The oversight, careful workmanship and ownership of the project was above expectations. Our design team was amazing. We also had the same person do all the work start to finish and was a total Pro. Could not recommend enough and will be doing any and all projects through them. This place is a gem.
Linda and her team did an excellent job! We would highly recommend them. We hired her for a kitchen remodel and asked for a very tight timeline. She delivered and we absolutely love the result. She was very commutative and available to us. Thank you Design and Build NW!
Overall I enjoyed working with Linda and her team. Even though there were no major redesign of spaces and I knew exactly what tile/fixtures/cabinets etc I wanted I still was appreciative of her insight on certain details and choices. It was very easy to collaborate with her. She makes an effort to be in-tune with a client. She was very responsive and took care of everything that needed attention as soon as she was able too. She made sure that I was listened to and taken care of as a client with her subcontractors. I would work with her again.
Surface preparation should address loose paint, dirt, rough areas, failed caulk, and exposed material before finish coats.
Preparation needs vary by surface condition, so we record them in the written scope.
Is peeling paint, faded siding, or worn trim changing your home's look? Request your exterior painting estimate, and we'll discuss the surfaces and finish details.
Peeling siding can hide weak adhesion, surface wear, or moisture near joints. The right plan starts with checking the affected panels and nearby trim, not just covering the loose paint. We’ll document the needed prep, explain which repairs belong in the scope, and prepare a written estimate for the exterior surfaces you want addressed.
A faded home exterior may need more than a color change if old paint is uneven or trim caulk has failed. We review the siding, doors, and trim together so the new finish looks consistent across the selected areas. Bring your preferred colors and surface priorities, and we’ll turn them into a clear painting scope.
Some homeowners want trim, doors, or one exterior section refreshed without repainting the entire home. That choice can work when the existing finish and color transition are suitable. We’ll identify the exact surfaces, note preparation needs, and explain how the partial scope differs from a broader repaint before preparing the estimate.
