Our services
Paintzone LLC is a locally owned painting company in Seattle, working out of 600 W Olympic Pl #503.
We do interior, exterior, cabinet and commercial painting, and we apply specialty finishes such as Roman clay, Venetian plaster, limewash and high gloss.
Most painting projects do not stay inside one category. A kitchen refresh can mean repainting the walls, spraying the cabinets and putting a Roman clay finish on one wall, and you can book all three with Paintzone as a single job.
Keeping them on one contract matters because each kind of work has its own constraint. Interior painting needs access to rooms you are using every day, cabinet work happens in our warehouse, and exterior painting waits on dry weather. Those rarely line up on the same dates, so we schedule the pieces in a workable order instead of running everything at once.
Interior work covers walls, ceilings, doors, millwork, window trims and door frames, along with minor drywall repairs. We prepare and prime every surface first, and millwork gets an oil primer.
We mask the house with durable materials before the work starts. After sanding, we inspect every surface under work lights, which reveal the dings and cracks that regular room lighting hides.
The specialty finishes we offer as part of interior painting include:
Venetian plaster is built up from limestone or marble in thin layers and polishes to a hard, stone-like surface.
Roman clay is softer and more velvety, with a subtler sheen.
Limewash is lime based, with visible movement and texture.
High gloss dries to a porcelain-like film, and Paintzone applies it to front doors as well as interior surfaces.
Our Roman clay and limewash come from Portola, a Los Angeles maker that produces its paints in small batches. The high gloss is Hollandlac from Fine Paints of Europe, an oil-based enamel imported from Holland, and Venetian plaster comes from Firenze Color, the US branch of the Italian decorative-finish brand Novacolor.
Limewash on brick depends on the brick itself. Romabio Classico goes straight onto unpainted, unsealed absorbent brick and stone, but glazed or painted brick, stucco whether painted or not, and concrete need a bonding primer first.
Outside, Paintzone paints siding, trims, soffits and doors, and stains decks and railings. We also apply the high gloss finish to front doors. We clean and prepare every surface before painting, use low-VOC paints and follow lead-safe work practices.
Weather is the usual reason an exterior date moves. Sherwin-Williams formulates its exterior lines for application down to 35F and asks that the surface stay above the dew point for roughly 48 hours afterward. Dew that settles into a film before it has cured lifts ingredients to the surface as it evaporates, which leaves staining and adhesion problems behind. So we set exterior dates around the forecast for the two days after painting. For the seasons, see our guide to the best time to paint an exterior in Seattle.
Cabinet work happens off-site, in the Paintzone warehouse. We take the doors out, strip the old paint and finish, unfasten and polish the hardware, and spray on the new finish. We check the work before the cabinets go back in.
Working away from the house gives us control of the working environment and keeps the dust out of your rooms. We paint cabinets in kitchens, bathrooms, offices, laundry rooms and garages, including wall cabinets, solid wood, frameless and extra-large ones, in homes and in commercial spaces.
Cabinets also take a different class of coating from walls. Two-component polyurethanes cure by chemical cross-linking rather than by drying, and that is what makes the finish hard enough for a kitchen.
Paintzone works on warehouses, offices, gyms and fitness centers, religious institutions, medical facilities, retail stores, shopping centers and museums. Commercial jobs get the same interior and exterior scope as residential ones, prepared and primed the same way. Specialty finishes are available on commercial interiors too, so a lobby wall can take Roman clay or limewash.
In a working building, communication and hours matter more than they do in a house, so we keep you updated through the job and can work after hours.
Every Paintzone project follows the same sequence. It opens with a consultation and an estimate, moves through preparation and application, and closes with a final walkthrough. You hear from us at each stage.
01
We visit, walk the property with you and talk through colors and finishes. You get a written estimate, at no charge, that lists the surfaces, the preparation, the products and the price.
02
We cover floors, furniture and fixtures with durable masking, then wash, scrape, sand, repair and prime, and check the surfaces under work lights.
03
We brush, roll or spray each surface, whichever leaves the better finish. Exterior painting days follow the forecast.
04
We check the work against the written scope, clear the protection and debris, and walk through the finished job with you.
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.
Paintzone works in Seattle and across the Eastside, in Bellevue, Clyde Hill, Kirkland, Magnolia, Medina, Mercer Island, Newcastle, Queen Anne, Redmond, Renton and Sammamish.
