Painting Services in Seattle for Homes & Businesses
How the four services fit together
You can book a kitchen refresh with Paintzone as a single job, from repainting the walls and spraying the cabinets to putting a Roman clay finish on one wall.
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 doors are finished in our shop, 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 painting for Seattle homes and condos
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.
Specialty finishes: limewash, Roman clay and Venetian plaster
The specialty finishes we offer as part of interior painting include:
Venetian plaster
Venetian plaster is built up from limestone or marble in thin layers and polishes to a hard, stone-like surface.
Roman clay
Roman clay is softer and more velvety, with a subtler sheen.
Limewash
Limewash is lime based, with visible movement and texture.
High gloss
High gloss dries to a porcelain-like film, and Paintzone applies it to front doors as well as interior surfaces.
Our Roman clay comes from Portola, which also makes most of the limewash we use indoors. For high gloss we use Hollandlac by Fine Paints of Europe, an oil-based enamel, and Venetian plaster comes from Firenze Color, the US branch of the Italian brand Novacolor.
Unpainted, unsealed brick and stone soak up Romabio Classico as they are, while glazed or painted brick, stucco whether painted or not, and concrete need a bonding primer first.
Exterior painting in Seattle: siding, trim and decks
Outside, Paintzone paints siding, trims, soffits and doors, and stains decks and railings. Front doors can have the high gloss finish. 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. Exterior paint can go on in cool weather, but it has to stay above the dew point for two days 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 painting for Seattle homes and businesses
We refinish cabinet doors and drawer fronts in our finishing shop, and the frames in your home. 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.
Commercial painting services in Seattle
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. Commercial interiors can have specialty finishes as well, such as Roman clay or limewash on a lobby wall.
When the building stays open, we can work after hours or on weekends and keep you updated through the job.
How we work
Each Paintzone job starts with a free written estimate and ends with a walkthrough of the finished work with you, and you hear from us at each stage in between.
01
Consultation and estimate
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
Preparation
We cover floors, furniture and fixtures with durable masking, then wash, scrape, sand, repair and prime, and check the surfaces under work lights.
03
Application
We brush, roll or spray each surface, whichever leaves the better finish. Exterior painting days follow the forecast.
04
Final walkthrough
We check the work against the written scope, clear the protection and debris, and walk through the finished job with you.
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.
