A Kirkland Job That Started With HOA Documents
In 2019 I was called to a 1957 split-level in the Houghton neighborhood — the Martinez family wanted to repaint the exterior sage green. It is a reasonable color for that part of Kirkland, and structurally the house was a good candidate for a full exterior repaint. But before I touched a brush, they mentioned the HOA.
Houghton has an HOA with color guidelines that are informal — not a strict approved palette, but the kind of document that gets interpreted differently by different board members. I sat down with the Martinez family and went through the HOA docs page by page. The sage green they had chosen fell within the described earth-tone range. I put that in writing before we ordered a gallon. We also confirmed with the board chair by email before mixing paint.
The job took 4 days. No HOA complaint, no redo. Three weeks after completion, the Martinez family had referred three of their neighbors to me — two of them also in Houghton, both with exterior repaints in progress. That is how residential painting in Kirkland works when you do it right: one job leads to five more because the neighbors are watching.

Interior Residential Painting in Kirkland
Surface assessment and prep
Before any paint is applied, every surface is assessed. We test for moisture in areas near windows and exterior walls. In pre-1978 Kirkland homes, we test for lead paint before any sanding. Holes, cracks, and nail pops are filled. Drywall seams that have failed are re-taped. Surfaces are cleaned and primed where needed.
Color selection and testing
We apply large samples on the actual walls before committing to a color. Kirkland interiors — especially north-facing rooms near Lake Washington — read differently from paint chips. We test samples under both daylight and artificial light before any final color decision.
Application and finish
Two coats of finish paint on all surfaces. Sheen selection is discussed with each homeowner — eggshell on walls, semi-gloss on trim, flat on ceilings in most cases. We use Sherwin-Williams Emerald or Benjamin Moore Aura Interior for all residential work.
Exterior Residential Painting in Kirkland
Kirkland exteriors face specific PNW challenges: morning moisture from Lake Washington, extended overcast periods that slow drying, and temperature swings that stress paint adhesion. I never apply exterior paint when humidity is above 65% or when temperature is forecast to drop below 50°F within 24 hours of application. That discipline is why our exterior paint jobs last.
For cedar and wood siding — common in older Kirkland neighborhoods like Houghton and Juanita — we use oil-based primers on bare wood before any latex topcoat. This is the step most contractors skip to save time, and it is the step that determines whether the topcoat lasts 4 years or 10 years.

What Kirkland Homeowners Say
"Antonio walked through our HOA docs with us before touching anything. We were nervous about the color choice but he confirmed it was within guidelines — in writing, before ordering paint. The exterior looks exactly like what we imagined, and the board has not said a word."
Carlos & Elena M. — Houghton, Kirkland
"Full interior repaint of our 1978 split-level in Juanita. Antonio found moisture behind the north wall before painting — turned out there was a slow window leak we did not know about. He pointed it out and waited for us to fix it before painting. That kind of honesty is rare."
Linda K. — Juanita, Kirkland
"2-story exterior repaint on Rose Hill. Previous painter had used flat exterior paint on the trim — wrong sheen, wrong product. Antonio used semi-gloss on all trim and explained why. Two years later the trim still looks perfect where the old paint was already peeling at 18 months."
Mark & Susan R. — Rose Hill, Kirkland
