Sherwin williams paint — Seattle, WA

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.

The cost of exterior house painting in Seattle is influenced by several key factors, including the total square footage of the surfaces to be painted, the complexity of the home's architecture, and the condition of the existing paint and substrate. Homes requiring extensive surface preparation, such as significant mildew removal, scraping, or wood repair, will incur higher costs. The selection of premium paint products, known for their durability and resistance to moisture, also contributes to the overall investment. We provide a detailed quote after an on-site assessment.
