Thick old layers crack and lift as a sheet, and the bottom ones often contain lead. Painting these houses well is mostly careful, lead-safe prep. South Everett's newer homes are simpler, with sound siding that needs washing, caulking and fresh paint.
Pacific West is a Seattle contractor working throughout Snohomish County. Our crew handles the carpentry repairs and the painting. It's part of our our exterior painting overview.
Older north Everett homes
Old paint
thick, cracked layers are scraped and sanded back to a sound surface. Sometimes stripping a wall to bare wood is the only way to get a lasting finish, and we'll tell you where.
Lead-safe work
containment on the ground, controlled scraping and cleanup, because paint on these houses predates 1978.
Porches, columns and trim
rot at porch floors, column bases and window sills is replaced before painting.
Rotten boards come first: see rotten siding repairs.
Weather and timing
Everett gets marine weather off Port Gardner, and paint needs dry wood. We schedule around the forecast and the paint maker's limits, and we'd rather move a start date than paint over damp siding.

Questions, answered
Our paint is peeling in big sheets. Can you fix that?
Yes, but it means scraping or stripping back to a sound layer, not painting over it. Sheets of peeling paint are a sign the old layers have failed.
Is lead paint a problem?
It's common on houses built before 1978. It's handled with lead-safe containment and cleanup during prep.
Can you repair our porch before painting?
Yes. Rotten porch boards, column bases and trim are replaced and primed first.
When can you paint in Everett?
In the drier months, when the siding is dry and temperatures are within the paint's limits. We schedule around the forecast.
Do you paint homes in south Everett too?
Yes, including houses, decks and fences across the city.
