Working with Paintzone

Owner-run

Paintzone is owned and run by Andrei Danu and Dorin Sirbu, who came to painting from architecture and mural work.

Specialty finishes in house

Limewash, Roman clay and tadelakt can go on the same estimate as the paint, from one accent wall to a whole room.

Free written estimates

Every estimate is free and written out, listing the surfaces, the preparation, the products and the price.

Interior painting

You can book a whole kitchen refresh with us as one job, repainting the room, spraying the cabinets and putting Roman clay on one wall, scheduled in a workable order instead of all at once. The interior service includes:

  • Walls and ceilings
  • Doors, window trim, door frames and baseboards
  • Crown molding, wainscoting and built-ins
  • Drywall repair and wallpaper removal
  • Sanding and priming, with oil primer on millwork
  • Shop spraying for doors and larger millwork
  • Color consultation and color matching

Census Bureau estimates show close to half of Bellevue's housing, about 47 percent, was built before 1980. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, so for any house older than that we test before sanding. If the test is positive, we set up containment and handle the dust and debris as a certified lead-safe firm.

Exterior painting

Any trim or siding that has softened is repaired before primer, after the washing and scraping. Unpainted brick and stone are candidates for limewash, which soaks into the masonry and ages to a soft patina instead of peeling. The exterior service includes:

  • Pressure washing and scraping
  • Lead testing on houses built before 1978
  • Repairs to soft or split trim and siding
  • Priming of bare and repaired wood
  • Siding, trim, soffits, shutters and doors
  • Deck and fence stains, from semi-transparent to solid
  • Varnish or clear coat on doors and exterior wood

Why a deck takes a different product from siding

A paint film suits siding, where it flexes with the boards and resists mildew, but on a deck, a handrail or a windowsill, where water sits, the film eventually lets go. On decks we use Armstrong Clark stain, which carries conditioning oils deep into the wood. Like other oil stains it wears down gradually instead of peeling, and a worn deck needs a maintenance coat, not stripping.

Commercial painting in Bellevue, WA

For Bellevue offices, retail, restaurants, clinics and warehouses, we paint interiors and exteriors on a schedule your business can work around. The commercial service includes:

  • Offices, retail stores and shopping centers
  • Restaurants, gyms and medical facilities
  • Warehouses, museums and religious buildings
  • Storefronts and multi-story exteriors
  • Wood siding, stucco and metal
  • Accent walls and specialty finishes in lobbies

In a working building we agree the hours with you first, including after-hours shifts, and keep you updated as each area is finished.

Cabinet painting: kitchens and built-ins

Cabinet painting gives a kitchen a new color and finish while the cabinetry, counters and plumbing stay where they are. Our warehouse is where the doors and drawer fronts are stripped and sprayed, and where the hardware is unfastened and polished before it goes back on. The cabinet service includes:

  • Kitchen and bathroom cabinets
  • Built-ins and laundry, office and garage cabinets
  • Existing, new and previously painted cabinets
  • Oak, maple, cherry, alder and other woods
  • Doors and drawer fronts sprayed in our shop
  • High-gloss finishes

The same process works on bathroom vanities and built-ins.

Why cabinets take a different coating from walls

A catalyzed polyurethane, mixed from two parts right before spraying, cures by a chemical reaction into the hard surface a kitchen needs, whereas ordinary wall paint stays fairly soft once its water has evaporated. Milesi and Renner are among the makers whose coatings we spray.

Specialty finishes

The repaint and the plaster work come from the same company, so a limewashed wall or a Roman clay room is estimated and scheduled together with the rest of the job.

The specialty finishes we offer include:

Limewash

A lime finish for masonry and interior walls that dries matte, with soft variation in color.

Roman clay

A troweled clay plaster, velvety to the touch, with a subtle sheen.

Tadelakt

A Moroccan lime plaster polished with olive oil soap, so it sheds water in showers without grout lines.

Venetian plaster

Thin layers of limestone or marble plaster, burnished to a hard, stone-like surface.

We also do microcement, French wash and high-gloss enamel on doors and millwork.

How we work

Consultation and estimate

We visit, walk the property with you and talk through colors and finishes before we write the estimate.

Preparation

We cover floors, furniture and fixtures with durable masking, then wash, scrape, sand, repair and prime. Work lights show us the dings and cracks that room lighting hides.

Painting

We brush, roll or spray each surface, whichever leaves the better finish. On an exterior we pick the painting days by the forecast, because fresh paint needs dry weather to cure.

Inspection

Before we call the job finished, we check every painted surface against the written scope.

Cleanup

We take down the protection, haul away materials and debris, and leave the property as clean as we found it.

Final walkthrough

We walk through the finished job with you, so you see every room or side of the house before we leave.

We hired Paintzone to apply a Roman clay finish to our fireplace in Kirkland. They turned an ordinary fireplace into a beautiful focal point that completely elevated the look and feel of our living space. The texture, depth, and natural movement of the Roman clay give it a timeless, sophisticated look that photos don’t even fully capture. Their attention to detail and passion for their craft were evident from start to finish. If you’re looking for skilled artisans who specialize in high-end decorative finishes, I can’t recommend Paintzone enough. We absolutely love our new fireplace and will definitely be using them again for future projects!

Andrei and team did a killer job on a tight schedule repainting our new house's kitchen cabinets! They were a dated Tuscany-style distressed dark cream, and I picked a green and a taupe for different parts of the kitchen. They also replaced the hardware. What a difference! Before and after pics below. I even had them repaint the green because I picked one that was too bright, and they were very accommodating. When the selling agent came to our housewarming she was blown away! Still need to redo tile and counters but this is already so much better. Don't hesitate to use Paintzone, I will be using them for future jobs for sure!

Paintzone was a pleasure to work with, we painted the exterior of my home which had many blisters from the previous paint job, they meticulously sanded large areas of the siding and the end result was restored beauty, thank you to the whole group and the owner was wonderful to work with!

Love how these Roman clay accent wall turned out. The texture adds so much depth without being too busy. Andrei and his team did a very good job. (I skipped the sealer for a more matte look, highly recommended!)

Bellevue Painting FAQs

Do you take commercial painting work in Bellevue?

Yes. Paintzone works on offices, retail, restaurants, warehouses and storefronts across the city, alongside residential repaints.

Can you paint over cabinets that have already been painted?

Yes, with preparation. In our shop the old finish is stripped back before the new two-part coating is sprayed, so the new finish bonds to a clean surface.

Can you limewash a brick house?

Yes. Bare, absorbent brick soaks up limewash with no primer, while painted or glazed brick needs a bonding primer first, and stucco needs one whether it is painted or not.

Do you work with builders and architects?

Yes. Besides homeowners, we work with home builders, architects and interior designers.

Do we need to move the furniture out?

You do not need to move all of it. Clear small items and furniture if you can, and we cover and work around the fixtures and heavy pieces that stay.

What should I have ready for an estimate?

A list of the rooms and surfaces you have in mind, and any colors you already have. We then walk the job with you and put the estimate in writing.

How to check a painting contractor before you sign

Before you hire anyone, including us, check the registration. Washington contractors register with L&I, and you can look up registration status, bond, workers' compensation and any legal actions at Lni.wa.gov/Verify.

Paintzone is on that register as a construction contractor, license number PAINTL*811QD, Washington UBI 604 513 060.

The EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting rule covers housing built before 1978, and anyone paid to disturb paint on those properties has to work for a certified firm. Paintzone is certified to work with lead paint.
