What Seattle Homeowners Should Know

Washington State requires painting contractors to hold a license through the Department of Labor and Industries. Seattle's persistent moisture creates ideal conditions for mold and mildew on painted surfaces, making proper primer selection and mildewcide additives essential for all exterior work. The city's craftsman bungalows and historic homes in Capitol Hill, Fremont, and Wallingford often require painters skilled in multi-color historic paint schemes and meticulous trim work. Seattle homeowners invest significantly more in interior painting than most US cities, driven by the long indoor season and design-forward culture.
