Before painting the exterior of your home, it's important to check whether your siding needs repairs. Signs that siding requires attention include peeling or bubbling paint, soft or spongy areas, visible cracks, warped boards, or spots where moisture has penetrated the wood. These issues will prevent paint from adhering properly and may lead to premature failure of the new coat.

Yes — many professional painters, including ProEnd Painting, offer trim and drywall repairs as part of their prep process. Damaged trim, nail holes, dents, cracks, or minor water damage can prevent paint from adhering correctly and affect the overall appearance of the finished project. Fixing these issues before painting ensures a smoother, longer-lasting result.

A professional painting project begins with a walkthrough where you and the painter review the scope of work, confirm colors, and discuss any repairs or prep needed. Before painting starts, the crew will protect your floors, furniture, and surfaces to ensure your home stays clean and undamaged.

Kitchens and bathrooms are high-moisture, high-traffic spaces that require durable, washable paint. Flat or matte paints tend to absorb humidity, which can lead to streaking, water spots, or mildew growth over time.

Because of the Pacific Northwest’s rainy climate, most exterior paint jobs need refreshing, depending on sun exposure, the paint used, siding material, and overall prep quality. Homes with west- or south-facing walls typically need attention sooner due to heavier weathering.

Choosing the right interior painter can make a huge difference in the look, feel, and value of your home. A professional painter will not only deliver clean, consistent lines and beautiful color coverage, but will also properly prep surfaces to ensure your paint lasts for years.
