Painting in Des Moines
Local painters who know Des Moines homes
Des Moines has around 32,000 residents and a housing mix that runs from older character homes to newer construction — and each needs a different approach.
Older Des Moines homes often have plaster or repaired drywall that shows every flaw under a raking light, oil-based trim that needs a bonding primer before latex will stick, and pre-1978 paint that requires lead-safe work practices. Newer homes have Level 4 drywall and builder-grade flat paint that scuffs if you look at it, and usually want a step up in sheen and product quality.
And every home here shares the same climate problem: King County gets moisture, moss and low winter sun. That is what pulls exterior paint off siding around Puget Sound — not UV. Our exterior process is built around it: soft wash with a mildewcide, full dry time, sealed seams, and a 100% acrylic coating that stays flexible when the boards move.

Reviews
What King County homeowners say
"We got four bids for our exterior. Martin's was not the cheapest and not the most expensive — but he was the only one who walked the whole house with me and showed me the rot under the window trim the others missed. Fixed it, painted it, done in five days."
"Our oak cabinets were from 1994 and I was ready to spend $30k on a new kitchen. They sprayed them navy and put on new hardware for a fraction of that. Two years later, not one chip."
"Crew showed up at 7:30 every single morning, covered everything, and I never once found a drop of paint where it didn't belong. My hardwood floors are original 1926 and they treated them like glass."
