Their siding is usually hardboard, engineered wood or fiber cement, the walls are tall enough to need ladders or lifts, and the colors often need HOA sign-off. That shapes the job more than the paint does.
Pacific West is a Seattle contractor working throughout north King and south Snohomish County. We repair siding and trim and paint with one crew. See the painting overview.
Siding in Bothell homes
Hardboard siding
from the 1980s and 90s swells and softens when water gets into cut edges and nail holes. Swollen boards should be replaced before painting, not painted over. Sound boards get every bottom edge sealed.
Engineered wood
holds up better, but the drip edges and butt joints need fresh caulk and paint on schedule.
Fiber cement
holds paint well. The work is mostly caulking joints and trim and repainting faded walls.
If more than a few boards have failed, re-siding may be the better spend.
Rotten boards come first: see siding work we do before painting.
HOA color approval
Most Bothell HOAs approve exterior colors before work starts. We help put the request together with the color names and sample chips so the job isn't held up waiting.

Fences, trim and garage doors
Fences, trim, garage doors and front doors can all be added. Garage doors and front doors often get a different sheen or color than the body of the house.

Questions we hear
Can you paint hardboard siding that's starting to swell?
Swollen boards should be replaced first, because paint won't stop them failing. The rest can be sealed and painted.
Does our HOA need to approve the colors?
Usually. We help you put together the color request so it's approved before the start date.
Can you paint a tall two-story house?
Yes, with ladders, lifts or staging depending on access, which is included in the estimate.
Do you paint fences too?
Yes. Fences can be stained or painted as part of the job.
Should we repaint or re-side?
If only a few boards are bad, repair and repaint. If the siding is failing on several walls, re-siding usually costs less over time. We'll show you both.
