Tacoma's weather is real — and its older homes feel it. Craftsman bungalows and pre-war properties need proper exterior prep to hold up. We scrape, caulk, prime, and softwash so the finish lasts.
Tacoma exterior painting isn't just about color. The older homes in neighborhoods like North End, Hilltop, and the Stadium District have wood siding, original trim, and decades of paint layers that need real prep work before anything new goes on. Skip the prep and you're looking at peeling paint within a couple of years — we've seen what that looks like and we don't do it that way.
Homes with mildew get soft-washed first — a low-pressure chemical treatment that kills mildew at the root. Failing paint gets scraped and feathered smooth. Gaps around windows and trim get caulked. Bare wood gets primed. That's the baseline on every Tacoma exterior job we take.
Tacoma's Pacific Northwest climate is hard on paint — moisture, temperature swings, the occasional freeze. We use exterior paints rated for this climate and apply a minimum of two coats on all surfaces. That's how you get a finish that holds up for 5 to 7 years instead of two.
