Preserving Ballard's Unique Architecture

Painting in Ballard presents unique challenges. The proximity to the Puget Sound and the Chittenden Locks means homes here are constantly exposed to salt air and high moisture levels.

Older neighborhoods like Loyal Heights and Whittier Heights are filled with historic Craftsman and Tudor homes. These require specialized prep work to handle potential lead paint safely and ensure modern acrylics bond to aged wood siding.

Ballard Painting FAQs

Common questions from 98107 homeowners.

Do you deal with lead paint in older Ballard homes?

Absolutely. Many homes in Ballard were built before 1978. We are EPA RRP certified to safely test for, contain, and paint over lead-based surfaces, ensuring your family's safety during the renovation.

How does salt air affect exterior paint?

Salt air from the Sound accelerates corrosion and paint degradation. We recommend and use marine-grade additives or high-end acrylics that provide a tighter seal against salt and moisture for homes west of 15th Ave NW.

Can you match historic colors?

Yes. We have extensive experience with the historic color palettes common in Loyal Heights and Adams. We can color match existing siding or help you select a period-correct scheme for your Craftsman bungalow.
