Barkley is one of Bellingham’s newest residential districts — mostly homes built 2000 and later with an architectural style that leans contemporary. High ceilings, open floor plans, and large windows are standard, which affects how we paint.
Interior work here is a different animal than century-old plaster. We see two-story great rooms, 14-foot ceilings, and walls that need spray + back-roll for an even finish. Exteriors are largely fiber cement (HardiePlank) which takes paint beautifully if properly primed.
