Exterior Painting – Seattle, WA

Protect, Refresh & Add Value to Your Home’s Exterior

In Seattle’s rainy and damp climate, exterior painting is more than just about looks — it’s about protection, durability, and long-term value. At American Home Builders WA, we don’t just paint; we prepare, inspect, and seal your home so the finish lasts for years, even under constant Northwest rain.

Why Exterior Painting Matters

Protect Against Moisture – Seattle’s rainfall can lead to rot, swelling, and peeling paint if surfaces are not properly sealed.
Boost Curb Appeal – Fresh paint dramatically improves your home’s appearance, making it stand out in the neighborhood.
Increase Home Value – Buyers view well-maintained exteriors as a sign of overall quality.
Extend Siding Life – Proper painting protects siding from UV damage, moisture intrusion, and pests.

Professional Preparation – The Key to Lasting Results

A high-quality paint job depends 80% on preparation and only 20% on the final coat. Here’s our process:

1. Inspection of Siding & Trim

We check for cracks, rot, or water damage.
Any compromised siding is repaired or replaced before painting begins.

2. Moisture & Sealing Tests

Surfaces are checked for water intrusion points.
Caulking is applied to all joints, gaps, and penetrations to ensure a watertight envelope.

3. Surface Preparation

Power washing to remove dirt, mildew, and old loose paint.
Sanding and scraping to smooth rough edges.
Spot priming bare wood or repaired areas for better adhesion.

4.Priming

Using premium primers designed for Seattle’s damp climate.
Primer ensures better adhesion, color uniformity, and long-term durability.

5. High-Quality Paint Application

Two coats of premium exterior paint, applied with professional spray, brush, or roller techniques.
Paints selected for UV resistance, water repellence, and color retention.
