Exterior painting refreshes the visible outside finish of a home. The work may include siding, trim, doors, shutters, and other painted surfaces named in the written scope. Preparation shapes the result. We review peeling paint, exposed material, cracked areas, and surface condition before discussing colors or sheen. The project may need scraping, cleaning, spot repair, masking, and careful coating work, depending on what we find. Homeowners should decide whether they want a focused update or a broader exterior refresh. A focused scope may suit worn trim or doors, while broader work may make sense when several surfaces show fading or peeling. We explain the difference during the consultation.

Best remodel experience we have ever had. The oversight, careful workmanship and ownership of the project was above expectations. Our design team was amazing. We also had the same person do all the work start to finish and was a total Pro. Could not recommend enough and will be doing any and all projects through them. This place is a gem.
Linda and her team did an excellent job! We would highly recommend them. We hired her for a kitchen remodel and asked for a very tight timeline. She delivered and we absolutely love the result. She was very commutative and available to us. Thank you Design and Build NW!
After experiencing water damage in our home, we needed to replace all our flooring, some kitchen cabinets, and redo our primary bath. Linda and her team truly saved the day after a disappointing experience with another contractor. She worked closely with us to choose the perfect tiles for our bathroom and find flooring that suited our home. Her contractors did exceptional work, from leveling the floors to installation and cabinet remaking, all while maintaining a high level of professionalism. Linda answered all our questions along the way, and we cannot speak highly enough of the work she and her team performed!

Paint that lifts along window trim or door edges needs more than a color choice. The loose coating and the surface below must be reviewed before new paint is planned. In Sammamish, homeowners can mark each affected area and share any past repair details during the consultation, so we can define preparation and finish work in writing.
A home may have siding that looks faded while the doors and trim show heavier wear. The right scope depends on which surfaces need a new finish and whether the homeowner wants a focused update or a broader refresh. We can review the exterior, discuss finish materials, and prepare an estimate around those choices.
Some homeowners plan exterior painting alongside interior updates, flooring, or a larger renovation. Coordination matters because access, finish choices, and related construction tasks can affect the written scope. We discuss the full project during the initial consultation, then separate the painting work from other services so each part stays clear.
