Painting in Kirkland
Local painters who know Kirkland homes
Kirkland was incorporated in 1905 and counted 92,175 residents in the 2020 census, so its homes span more than a century of building, from the lakefront streets around Moss Bay to the hillside neighborhoods of Finn Hill and Rose Hill.
The city nearly doubled in size in the 1940s and 1960s and grew again through annexations in 1968, 1974, 1988 and 2011, which is why one street can mix houses from several decades with newer builds. Downtown condominiums and apartments are largely 1990s and later. Each era calls for different prep: older siding and trim usually need scraping, spot-priming and caulking, and any home built before 1978 needs lead-safe work practices before a surface is sanded.
Kirkland averages about 36 inches of rain a year, and its elevation runs from roughly 14 feet at the Lake Washington shoreline to about 500 feet on the hills. Damp shade under trees and lakeside moisture are what let moss and mildew take hold on siding, so exterior work here starts with a soft wash and full dry time before primer and coating.

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."
