Columbia is one of Bellingham’s oldest residential neighborhoods, walkable blocks of early-century bungalows and small craftsmans mostly built between 1910 and 1940. The homes are small by modern standards but full of character, with original trim and single-pane windows, and often hardwood hiding under the carpet.
Most homes here were painted with lead paint through the late 1970s. We are EPA Lead-Safe certified and know how to prep and paint these older homes without contaminating the yard. Interior plaster walls require hairline-crack patching as part of prep.
