Painting & finish work for every space

Interior and exterior painting, cabinets, trim, and commercial work — each starting with an honest look at the surface and the preparation it needs.

Interior Painting

Interior painting covers walls, ceilings, accent walls, and the trim and doors that frame each room. Before painting, we look at the condition of the surfaces, protect floors and furnishings, and handle patching and sanding included in the scope so the final coat goes on smooth and even.

Who it's for: Homeowners refreshing a single room, updating colors before a sale or move-in, or repainting several rooms at once.

  • Masking & floor protection
  • Patching, sanding & priming as needed
  • Walls, ceilings & accent walls
  • Trim and interior doors
  • Daily clean-up & final walkthrough

Exterior Painting

Pacific Northwest weather is hard on a home. Exterior work typically starts with washing and evaluating the siding and trim, then scraping, caulking, and priming where the surface calls for it so the coating bonds properly. Siding, trim, fascia, and gables are finished with clean lines, and windows, roofs, and landscaping are protected as appropriate.

Who it's for: Homeowners with faded or peeling paint, anyone planning a color change, and new construction that needs a first finish.

  • Washing & surface evaluation
  • Scraping, caulking & priming as needed
  • Siding, trim, fascia & gables
  • New construction and repaints
  • Site protection & cleanup

Cabinet Painting & Refinishing

Cabinet painting depends heavily on preparation. Cabinet surfaces are cleaned and degreased, sanded, and primed so the new finish adheres, and the surrounding kitchen is masked and protected. Doors and drawers are handled carefully so everything goes back where it belongs.

Who it's for: Homeowners whose cabinets are structurally sound but dated, worn, or a color they no longer want.

  • Masking & area protection
  • Cleaning, degreasing & sanding
  • Priming for adhesion
  • Smooth, durable finish coats
  • Doors & drawers labeled and reinstalled

Trim & Finish Work

Finish work is where craftsmanship shows. This includes baseboards, casings, doors, exterior fascia and trim, and exposed-wood restoration like patio covers. It takes careful caulking, filling, and steady hands so every line is sharp and every surface is protected.

Who it's for: Homeowners who want trim, doors, or exterior details refreshed, or weathered wood brought back to life, with or without a full repaint.

  • Baseboards, casings & crown molding
  • Interior & entry doors
  • Exterior fascia & trim
  • Exposed-wood & patio cover restoration
  • Caulking & nail-hole filling
"We hired Northline to restore the exposed wood ceiling on our patio cover. It was a tricky project and Rhen did a fantastic job bringing the wood back to life, totally exceeding our expectations."

Residential Painting

Who it's for: Homeowners planning a larger repaint, a new custom home or ADU, or several projects handled by one painter.

  • Single rooms to full-home repaints
  • New construction & ADUs
  • Color guidance & samples

Commercial Painting

Commercial painting means working around your operations. We talk through access, scheduling, and which areas need to stay open, then plan the work to keep disruption low while still giving surfaces the preparation they need.

Who it's for: Business owners and property managers with offices, storefronts, common areas, or commercial doors and exteriors that need refreshing. Exterior commercial doors are where we've done the most, but we can take on any commercial painting work.

  • Offices, retail & common areas
  • Exterior commercial doors & exteriors
  • Scheduling around your operations
  • Licensed & insured
  • Clean, professional job sites

Our Approach

Preparation comes first

Every project is different, so the exact steps depend on the surface and the scope. In general, here's how we approach the work.

Evaluate the surface

We look at the condition of what's being painted before recommending a plan.

Identify prep needs

Washing, scraping, patching, sanding, caulking, or priming — whatever the scope calls for.

Protect the area

Floors, furnishings, windows, and landscaping are covered as appropriate.

Finish with care

Clean lines and even coverage, with clear communication throughout.

Common Questions

Painting estimate FAQs

What affects the cost of my project?

Size and scope, surface condition, how much preparation is needed, access, and the level of detail. Every project is different, so pricing is determined through a free estimate rather than a fixed rate.

Can you look at the surfaces before giving an estimate?

Yes. Assessing surface condition is part of the estimate process, so we can explain what preparation the project needs and why.

Why does preparation matter so much?

Paint only performs as well as the surface underneath it. Cleaning, repairing, and priming where needed helps the finish adhere, look even, and last longer.

What should I include when requesting a quote?

Your city, the type of project, and a short description — which rooms or areas, approximate size, and any timing preferences. Photos can be shared once we're in touch.

Can you work around access or scheduling concerns?

Let us know about tight access, occupied homes, or business hours when you reach out. We'll discuss them during the estimate and plan the work accordingly.
