Scraped all the peeling paint, primed everything properly for the moisture we get up here, and the whole house looks brand new. Even matched the original trim color. Our neighbors on Garden Street have been asking for their number.

09 — Questions

Frequently asked questions.

The questions we hear most from Bellingham homeowners, answered straight.

How much does it cost to paint a house in Bellingham?
For a 3-bedroom home in Bellingham, interior painting typically runs $3,500 – $8,500 (about $3.50–$7.00/sq ft). Exteriors range from $3,800 – $8,500 depending on size, siding type, and how much moisture prep we need. Whatcom County's wet climate means mildew treatment is almost always part of the job. That covers labor, materials, and all the prep. Drop us a quote request and we'll give you an exact number for your place.
How long does a painting project take?
Most interiors we knock out in 2 to 5 days. Exteriors take us 3 to 7 days depending on the size of the home and the weather here in Bellingham. Cabinet refinishing runs 5 to 10 days because we need dry time between coats. We'll give you a specific timeline when we come out for the estimate.
Do I need to move my furniture before you arrive?
Nope. We handle all of that. Our crew will move furniture to the center of each room, lay down drop cloths, and protect your floors, fixtures, and trim. Just pull down any small valuables and wall art before we show up, and we'll take care of the rest.
Are you licensed and insured?
Absolutely. We hold a valid WA contractor license, carry general liability insurance, and maintain workers comp coverage. We're happy to show you the paperwork. Just ask.
What paint brands do you use?
We use premium brands: Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and Dunn-Edwards are our go-tos. The right choice depends on the job: Benjamin Moore Regal Select is our favorite for interiors, while Sherwin-Williams Duration is hard to beat for Bellingham exteriors because of how well it handles the weather out here.
How quickly will I hear back after requesting a quote?
Fast. Most folks hear from us within 15 minutes during business hours (Monday through Saturday, 7am to 6pm). We don't believe in making people wait around. If you've got a project, we want to talk about it.
What is the best time of year to paint a house in Bellingham?
For exteriors, late spring through early fall is the sweet spot. You want temps consistently above 50F and moderate humidity. Interior work? We do that year-round. A lot of our customers actually schedule interior jobs in the winter when our calendar has more flexibility and we can sometimes sharpen the pricing a bit.
Do you offer a warranty on your work?
Yes. We stand behind every job with a written workmanship warranty that covers peeling, bubbling, or flaking for 2 to 5 years. On top of that, the paint manufacturers offer their own warranties (usually 15 to 25 years for premium paints), and those transfer if you sell the home.
