Exterior Painting Season Is Here!

Your home’s exterior is more than just a pretty face. It is the first layer of defense against the Pacific Northwest’s wet winters, warm summers, and everything in between. Over time, paint naturally begins to fade, peel, or crack. Trim can start to look weathered. Siding can lose its vibrant color. When these signs appear, it is more than an aesthetic concern. It is a signal that your home may no longer be getting the full protection it needs from the elements.

A fresh coat of high-quality paint can dramatically improve your home’s curb appeal while also sealing and shielding the surfaces underneath. At SFW Construction and SFW Painting Contractor, we understand that painting is about more than color. It is about preparing your home to stand up to years of sun, wind, and rain. That is why we focus on thorough preparation and professional application, using products that are proven to perform in our climate.

We are more than just skilled painters. SFW Construction is a licensed general contractor, which means we can handle the full scope of your exterior project. If we discover dry rot, damaged siding, or areas where water has penetrated, our carpentry team can make those repairs before the painting begins. This ensures that your home not only looks great but is structurally sound and protected for years to come.

When you choose SFW Construction, you work with a team that listens to your goals and respects your budget. We take the time to understand your vision, provide honest recommendations, and avoid unnecessary upselling. Our crews are trained in both painting and construction, which means you get the convenience of working with one company for repairs, preparation, and finishing work. This saves time, eliminates the stress of juggling multiple contractors, and delivers consistent quality from start to finish.

While the dry, mild months are generally the most popular for exterior painting in the Portland area, we can help you plan and schedule your project in a way that works best for your home. Properly timed and executed painting can help protect your investment by guarding against moisture intrusion, UV damage, and seasonal wear and tear.

If you are considering repainting your home, take the opportunity to think about the bigger picture. Does your siding need attention? Are there areas of trim or fascia that may have soft spots or rot? Addressing these issues before painting ensures a better finish and longer-lasting results. At SFW Construction, we can take care of everything in one seamless process.

• Walk around your home before scheduling an estimate and note any visible damage to siding, trim, or fascia.
• Choose colors that not only look great but also work well with your home’s style and surrounding environment.
• Ask about paint products designed for the Pacific Northwest’s unique climate for maximum durability.
• Plan your project early so you can secure your preferred timing during dry weather months.
• Consider pairing painting with other maintenance tasks like gutter cleaning, siding repair, or dry rot treatment to get everything done in one visit.
