At Rainfall Painting & Refinishing, exterior painting is more than a fresh coat of color — it’s a full protection system for your home. Serving homeowners across Everett, Snohomish, Mukilteo, and the greater Snohomish County area, we combine premium materials with professional technique to deliver results that last.
STEP 1 — SITE PROTECTION
Before we open a single can of paint, your landscaping and non-painted surfaces are fully protected. Plants, shrubs, walkways, and decks are covered with breathable drop cloths or plastic sheeting. Windows, light fixtures, and shingles are taped or masked to prevent overspray and drips. We treat your property with the same care we'd want for our own.
STEP 2 — SURFACE PREPARATION & PRIMING
The durability of an exterior paint job depends almost entirely on the quality of prep work. We pressure wash or hand-scrub all surfaces to remove dirt, mildew, and oxidation. Loose or peeling paint is scraped and sanded, and high-friction areas are smoothed for a solid bonding surface. Exterior-grade caulk is applied to window frames, door casings, and joints to block moisture intrusion. All bare wood or repaired areas receive a high-adhesion exterior primer before we ever touch the topcoat.
STEP 3 — PROFESSIONAL APPLICATION
We apply two coats of premium, weather-resistant exterior paint or stain to all designated surfaces. Our process combines spraying for uniform coverage with back-brushing to work paint deep into the grain — maximum adhesion, maximum protection. We monitor weather forecasts closely and only apply paint during optimal temperature and humidity windows to ensure a proper cure.
STEP 4 — CLEAN-UP & FINAL INSPECTION
Once the work is done, all masking, tape, and protective coverings are removed and hauled away. Any paint chips or construction debris are thoroughly cleaned from the perimeter of your home. We finish with a detailed walkthrough to confirm all coverage is uniform, edges are sharp, and the site is fully restored.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does exterior painting take?
Most homes take 2–5 days depending on size, condition, and the number of stories. We assess everything during your free estimate so you’ll get a realistic timeline upfront — no surprises.
How often should I repaint my home's exterior?
In the Pacific Northwest, we typically recommend every 8–10 years for most surfaces. Homes with wood siding or significant sun/moisture exposure may need attention sooner. If you’re seeing peeling, fading, or cracking, it’s time.
What's included in your exterior painting prep?
Proper prep is what makes a paint job last. We power wash the surface, scrape and sand any failing paint, fill cracks and nail holes, caulk gaps around trim and windows, and apply primer where needed — all before a single coat of paint goes on.
What kind of paint do you use for exteriors?
We use premium exterior paints from trusted brands like Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore. These are formulated for the wet, variable Pacific Northwest climate and provide much better durability than budget options.
Do I need to be home during the exterior painting?
No, you don’t need to be home for most exterior projects. We’ll coordinate access details with you ahead of time and keep you updated throughout the job.
Will exterior painting add value to my home?
Yes — exterior painting has an average ROI of around 55%, and fresh paint is one of the highest-impact improvements for curb appeal and resale value.
Can you paint in the rain or cold?
We don’t paint in rain or temperatures below 40–45°F, as paint won’t properly adhere. The good news is we plan jobs around weather forecasts and the Pacific Northwest has plenty of good painting windows spring through fall.
