Sherwin williams paint — Seattle, WA

The most common exterior paint problem in Seattle is the accumulation of mildew and algae, primarily due to the region's high humidity and frequent rainfall. This moisture can cause paint to break down prematurely, leading to a dull appearance and potential surface damage. Our licensed and insured professionals address this by using specialized mildew-resistant paints and employing thorough cleaning and preparation techniques, including power washing and the application of appropriate primers, to ensure a durable and long-lasting finish.

Seattle's climate, characterized by frequent rain and high humidity, necessitates thorough preparation to combat mildew and ensure proper paint adhesion. Our process includes meticulous power washing to eradicate existing mildew and algae, followed by scraping and sanding of any deteriorated paint. We then apply high-quality primers specifically chosen for their moisture-resistance properties. This detailed preparation is essential for creating a stable surface that allows the premium paints we use to adhere effectively and withstand the damp conditions.

For Seattle homes, we recommend high-quality acrylic latex paints, particularly those formulated with advanced mildew and algae inhibitors, from manufacturers like Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. These paints offer superior flexibility to withstand temperature fluctuations and are designed to resist the constant moisture and UV exposure common in the Pacific Northwest. The specific product chosen depends on the siding material, but the emphasis is always on durability and resistance to the local climate for a long-lasting finish.

While we prefer to paint during drier periods, licensed and insured professionals in Seattle are adept at managing projects around the weather. We closely monitor forecasts and schedule work for days with optimal drying conditions. If unexpected rain occurs, we have protocols to protect freshly painted surfaces. Our thorough preparation, including the use of quick-drying primers and high-quality topcoats, helps ensure that the paint cures properly even with the region's inherent moisture. We aim for a durable finish regardless of the conditions.
