Painters in Beaverton, OR

Beaverton's houses, from the ranches to the ridges

Beaverton grew in waves, and you can read them in the siding. Cedar Hills, Raleigh Hills and the streets around the old downtown have the ranches and split-levels of the 1950s to 1970s, many with cedar or T1-11 siding and the broad eaves that keep rain off the walls but trap moisture under them. Murray Hill, Sexton Mountain and Cooper Mountain are the 1980s and 1990s subdivisions, with lap siding, painted trim and attached garages. Progress Ridge, Bethany and the newer pockets off Scholls Ferry are fibre cement, HOA colour palettes and tall entry walls inside.

We work all of them. What changes is the prep: the older cedar needs a sealing primer and sometimes a stain rather than paint, the 1990s homes need their caulk lines and bottom courses dealt with before the water gets further, and the newer houses mostly need a careful, clean repaint in a colour the HOA will approve.

Working with a homeowners' association

A lot of Beaverton lives under an HOA, and most of them have a colour approval process for exteriors. We have done this before: we can supply the product and colour information the association asks for, and we do not start an exterior until the approval is in hand, because repainting a house twice is nobody's idea of a good summer.

The same climate as everywhere else in the metro

Beaverton gets the same long wet season as Portland and Vancouver, and the west side's tree cover means more shade and more moss on the north and east elevations. The exterior painting window is roughly May through September, and the shaded walls take longer to dry out at the start of it. Washing, mildew treatment and full drying come before any paint. How we handle exteriors.

Painting services in Beaverton

• Interior painting for whole-house repaints, the two-storey entries in the newer homes, and the one room that has been waiting.
• Exterior painting for cedar, lap and fibre cement siding, with the HOA paperwork handled.
• Cabinet refinishing for the oak kitchens in the 1980s and 1990s subdivisions, sprayed to a smooth, hard finish.
• Deck staining and cedar fence staining, which the shade out here makes a two-to-three-year job rather than a once-every-ten-years one.

What painting costs in Beaverton

The price of a paint job in Beaverton comes down to surface, condition, detail and repairs. The 1960s and 1970s cedar ranches need a sealing primer and sometimes a stain rather than a paint, which changes the product and the prep. The 1980s and 1990s lap-sided homes usually need their caulk lines, bottom courses and window trim dealt with before a repaint. The newer fibre cement homes are mostly clean two-coat repaints in an HOA-approved colour. Inside, the tall entries and open stairwells in the newer homes need staging that an eight-foot bedroom does not. The written proposal shows which applies to your house, the estimate is free, and most whole-house projects qualify for 10% off all qualifying jobs over $2,500, confirmed on the written estimate.
