The Alderwood Cedar Job That Added Two Days
In 2022 I was called to a 1985 colonial on the 196th St SW corridor in the Alderwood neighborhood. The homeowner had repainted two years earlier with a contractor who applied latex paint directly to the bare cedar shakes — no oil prime, no biocide treatment, no prep beyond power washing. By the time I arrived, the paint was lifting in sheets on the south and west faces. Everywhere the cedar had even slightly weathered, the latex had lost adhesion completely.
The correct repair process: full strip of the failed paint down to bare cedar, biocide treatment on all bare wood (this house had enough moisture exposure that surface mold was present under the failed latex), then oil-based alkyd primer on every bare shake. After the primer dried, two coats of Sherwin-Williams Duration.
The process added two full days to the quoted timeline. I held the original price. The homeowner asked why I did not charge more — I explained that the extra time was caused by the previous contractor cutting the corner I had already told her I would not cut. That is what a painting contractor is: someone who does the job right the first time, including the steps that do not show in the photos.

Painting Contractor Services in Lynnwood
Interior painting
Full interior painting including walls, ceilings, trim, and doors. We move and protect furniture, fill holes, tape drywall repairs, and apply two finish coats of premium paint. Sheen selection and color consultation included at no charge.
Exterior painting — cedar and wood siding
Cedar siding is the most common exterior surface in Alderwood and the Lynnwood corridor. Every cedar exterior job begins with a moisture reading and adhesion test on the existing paint. If the existing paint is failing, it comes off before any new paint goes on. Oil-based primer on bare cedar, two coats of Duration or Aura Exterior topcoat.
Pre-sale repaints
Lynnwood homes sell quickly when they show well. Interior and exterior pre-sale repaints typically increase perceived value by more than their cost. We work to listing photo timelines — if the photographer is coming in 5 days, the job is done in 4.

What Lynnwood Homeowners Say
"1985 colonial in Alderwood, cedar siding. Previous painter had skipped the oil prime and the paint was already failing after 2 years. Antonio stripped it, treated the cedar, primed with oil-based alkyd, and repainted. It has now been 18 months and the paint looks exactly like it did on day one."
Patricia & George W. — Alderwood, Lynnwood
"Interior repaint of our whole house before listing. 4 days, start to finish, walls and trim and ceilings. Antonio held the listing photo schedule exactly. Agent said the walls were one of the things buyers commented on during showings. House sold in 6 days."
Dave & Nicole F. — Scriber Lake, Lynnwood
"Exterior repaint on Spruce area home. Previous contractor had painted over peeling areas without stripping — the paint lasted 14 months before it started coming off in the same spots. Antonio stripped everything down to bare siding before priming. Two years later it still looks perfect."
