What we do

Three decades of Bellingham winters teach you where paint fails.

We’ve protected Whatcom County homes since 1997, so we know what it takes for paint to hold up in our conditions.

Salt air off the bay. Moss on the northern exposure. Because winter rain and summer UV both work on the paint, every job gets Pacific Northwest-level preparation. As a result, your home keeps looking good through every season.

We’ve been painting Whatcom and Skagit Counties since 1997 — houses out on Chuckanut, historic places down Marine Drive, new builds in Ferndale and Lynden, for new and returning clients alike.

Every job starts the same way: we walk the property with you, then put the whole scope in writing before anyone opens a can.

How we work
What we do

Six kinds of work.One written scope.

Not sure which one you need? Send us a couple of photos of the house. Then we'll tell you what it needs — and what it doesn't.

Our process:

Answers ASAP, seven days a week

Ask for a quote any day of the week, and we'll connect with you ASAP.

A written scope before we start

Every surface, every prep step, the products, the coat count, the timeline, the price. So nothing rests on a verbal promise.

The same crew, start to finish

We don't sub your keys out, so the people who begin your job are the people who finish it.

Cleaned daily, walked through together

Protection and cleanup suited to the job. Finally, you inspect the work with us before we call it done.

Final Step

The job finishes the way it started: with a handshake.

Our process

Five steps. No surprises in between.

  1. Wash

    All surfaces get inspected and washed as needed. Moss, mildew, dirt and chalking come off before anything else. In this climate that step is not optional.

  2. Prepare

    Loose and failing paint scraped back. Surfaces sanded for adhesion. Every joint checked and caulked so weather stays outside the wall.

  3. Prime & paint

    Bare and repaired areas spot-primed, then premium coatings applied to the coat count in your written scope.

  4. Clean

    Chips, debris and equipment cleared, with protection and cleanup suited to the job.

  5. Inspect

    We walk the whole job and check it. Then you walk it with us. It isn't finished until you say it is.

What Whatcom County says.

Super impressed with their work on our exterior. They were able to fit us in at the last moment and did a fantastic job. No mess and their painters are super polite.

Paul was great to work with. I had a few projects and he actually advised me to not do one of the services because my house didn’t need it at that time. The interior paint job his team did was perfect. They were very clean and got all the details I wouldn’t have bothered with! We were working around the house at the same time, and they were very friendly. Plus, my house sold after 2 days on the market!

I have used Puget Sound Painting twice now and I could not recommend them enough. When I first called asking for a quote, Paul came to the house and discussed exactly what I was looking for in thorough detail, and then had a quote written up and sent to me promptly. I was so impressed by their professionalism before the job had even started and then was just absolutely in love with the finished work. I would recommend them to anyone.
