Client Success Stories
Seattle Lead Paint Removal. “Where do we start?” It's a question we often get asked when working on turn-of-the-century homes. From a contractor’s perspective, the answer is simple. “Let’s start with safety.” In this case, lead paint. Typically, when the paint fails, it stems from a moisture issue.
The Pacific Northwest is full of unique construction projects. Each one presents its challenges. We use our expertise to accommodate the needs of our customers and find solutions to their home repairs.
When high winds caused by a winter storm brought down an old Ash tree in the historic neighborhood of Marylhurst in Portland—SFW Construction came out immediately, tarped off all active leaks, assessed the damage, and quickly developed a structural remediation plan.
The homeowner in Portland, Oregon, reached out to us to discuss the problems she was having with her home. Initially, she contacted us because she was concerned about the handrails on her deck and she felt afraid the deck might be unsafe.
In the early months of 2020, SFW Construction had a structural dry rot beam repair project for a homeowner in West Linn, Oregon. The project consisted of replacing about 12ft of two rotted support beams for a footbridge.
During our first encounter, the homeowner mentioned that his home in Portland was built in 1910–making it over 100 years old. His great-grandparents bought the house in 1916 and passed it down through the generations. Since the house had so much sentiment to his family, researching to find the best siding contractor to work on a historical home restoration project was going to be a challenge, and he knew it.
The homeowner initially contacted us because she had water intrusion and possibly dry rot near a second-floor window. Our initial discovery revealed dry rot, as suspected.
Our client initially contacted us to perform some deck and window repairs to her home in Astoria, OR. Her first challenge was finding a quality contractor on the Oregon Coast willing to do home repair work.

Lenders usually require an appraisal to confirm your home is safe, livable, and insurable. If it reveals issues like damaged siding, roof leaks, dry rot, lead paint, or structural concerns, those must be fixed first. In that case, we can review your appraisal and explain what needs to be addressed.
We prioritize refinance-related jobs because timing matters. Most repairs are done in a few days to two weeks, depending on scope and permitting.
