About Exterior Painting in Bellingham

Your home's exterior takes a beating from Pacific Northwest weather: 37+ inches of rain, UV exposure during summer months, and constant moisture that accelerates wood rot and mildew growth. A professional exterior paint job is not just cosmetic — it is your home's first line of defense against the elements. Our Bellingham crews follow a proven process: power wash, scrape loose paint, repair damaged wood, prime bare surfaces, caulk gaps, and apply two full coats of premium exterior paint rated for the local climate. We use Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior and Sherwin-Williams Duration for maximum weather resistance. Every exterior project includes a thorough inspection for rot, moisture damage, and structural issues that we flag before painting over them.

Our Exterior Painting Process

1

Exterior Inspection

We walk the full perimeter with you, flagging rot, cracks, peeling, and moisture issues. You get a written assessment and detailed quote.

2

Power Wash & Prep

We pressure wash all surfaces to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint. Then we hand-scrape, sand, patch, and caulk every gap and crack.

3

Prime & Paint

Bare wood gets a bonding primer. Then two full coats of premium exterior paint, applied with brushes on trim and spray/roll on siding for a flawless finish.

4

Cleanup & Walkthrough

We remove all tape, clean up overspray, replace fixtures, and walk the entire exterior with you before the job is complete.

Exterior Painting FAQ in Bellingham

How much does exterior painting cost in Bellingham?

Exterior painting in Bellingham typically runs $2,600 to $7,000 for an average-sized home, or $1.40-$3.40 per square foot. Price varies by home size, stories, siding material, and prep work needed. Multi-story homes cost more due to scaffolding and access. We provide free estimates.

What is the best time of year to paint exteriors in Bellingham?

The ideal exterior painting window in Bellingham is May through October when temperatures are consistently above 50°F and rain is less frequent. That said, our crews work in light drizzle and overcast conditions — we just avoid painting in active rain or below 45°F.

How long does an exterior paint job last in the Pacific Northwest?

With proper prep and premium paint, an exterior paint job in Bellingham should last 7-10 years. Homes with heavy moisture exposure or south-facing walls may need touch-ups sooner. We use paints specifically rated for high-moisture climates.
