Every house painting project starts with pressure washing, scraping loose or peeling paint, sanding rough edges, filling cracks and nail holes, caulking all gaps around trim, windows, and doors, and spot-priming any bare wood or patched areas. For interiors, we patch drywall, sand smooth, and prime before applying finish coats. Prep is part of your estimate — it is never a surprise add-on.

The most common issues we encounter on Spokane homes include peeling paint from moisture intrusion, soft or rotted wood on window sills and trim boards, cracked or porous stucco, water-stained ceilings from old leaks, and heavily chalked exterior surfaces. We address minor carpentry repairs directly. If we find a larger structural issue — active water intrusion, significant rot, failing substrate — we'll show you and discuss options before we proceed.

We've used a lot of products over the years and keep coming back to Rodda and Miller because they're specifically formulated for Pacific Northwest conditions. They stay flexible through Spokane's freeze-thaw cycles, hold color through the summer UV exposure, and adhere exceptionally well on wood and cementitious siding. The paint represents a small portion of the total job cost — it is not where we cut corners to lower our bid.

Our workmanship warranty covers paint failure caused by our application or material defects — peeling, cracking, or flaking within two years of project completion. It does not cover damage caused by deferred maintenance, active moisture problems, or physical damage. At the end of every project, we provide a written warranty certificate and leave labeled touch-up paint for minor nicks and scuffs.
