About Seattle Painting Contractors

When you decide to have your home painted—inside, outside, or both—you have a couple of important decisions to make. And if you've wandered through the paint department of your local home improvement store lately, you're likely well aware that there's seemingly no end to the paint colors and finishes to choose from.

Fortunately, the best painting contractors in Seattle have plenty of experience and can steer you in the right direction. Many professional painters even offer color consultations to help you choose paint colors that you love and that will look great in (or on) your house. Make sure to ask any painters you contact the correct questions to ensure the job will be done correctly and with care.

When to repaint

Paint doesn't last forever. Expect to have the exterior of your home repainted every ten years or so; interior paint will need to be refreshed every five to seven years, on average.

Paint serves more than just an aesthetic purpose—it provides an important protective barrier from the elements, particularly for exterior surfaces. If you notice any of the following signs of paint deterioration in the meantime, however, call your local Best Pick painter.

  • Peeling
  • Cracking
  • Bubbling
  • Fading
  • Wood rot
  • Mildew or mold growth

Scheduling painting projects

Although summer might be the most common time of year for house painting, interior (and most exterior) paint jobs can be scheduled year-round. In fact, you may find that scheduling your painting project for the off-season eliminates any wait for services and gives you your choice of dates—a win-win!

Seattle's relatively temperate climate means that there won't be many times of year when exterior and interior painting isn't an option, but always defer to your painter's recommendation. Extreme heat or cold, moist conditions, and direct sunlight can cause paint to adhere poorly or dry too quickly, compromising the finish and the lifespan of the product.

Painting prep

Regardless of the surface being painted, your painting crew should prep the area to ensure a smooth and professional finish. Prep work takes time, but it's one of the most important parts of the job. Paint on a poorly prepped wall will not look as good as it could, and the paint job won't last very long.

Here's a basic overview of the steps your painter will take to prepare any surfaces to be painted:

  • Wipe down walls and clean exterior surfaces
  • Remove wallpaper, if necessary
  • Repair imperfections in drywall
  • Repair or replace rotted wood
  • Tape off trim and fixtures
  • Cover or move furniture exterior landscaping, if necessary

Always discuss the specific prep work your painter will do before the job begins, and make sure the final quote for the job includes the work you agreed to.
