Portland Exterior Painting Services
Portland's rain, UV exposure, and temperature swings are tough on exterior paint. At Crestwood Property Services, we specialize in exterior painting that withstands Oregon weather year after year. With thorough preparation, premium paints, and a 7-year workmanship warranty, we protect your home and keep it looking great.
Complete Exterior Painting Services
Portland's climate creates unique challenges for exterior paint. Our rainy winters bring constant moisture, while summer sun exposure can fade and crack unprotected surfaces.
Siding
We paint all siding types common in Portland homes—wood lap siding, cedar shingles, fiber cement (Hardie board), vinyl, stucco, and aluminum.
Trim, Fascia & Soffits
These areas take the most weather exposure. We use premium exterior paints with enhanced UV and moisture resistance to protect your home's architectural details.
Front Doors & Entries
Your entry makes the first impression. We prepare and paint doors with durable finishes that resist scuffs, weathering, and daily use.
Decks & Fences
Extend the life of your outdoor wood with quality stains and sealers. We offer transparent, semi-transparent, and solid stain options.
Gutters & Downspouts
Faded or mismatched gutters detract from your home's appearance. We can paint gutters and downspouts to match your new color scheme.
Garage Doors
Often overlooked, garage doors make up a significant portion of your home's front facade. We paint all garage door types for a cohesive exterior look.
Exterior Painting Done Right
Quality exterior painting is 80% preparation and 20% paint application. Here's how we ensure your paint job lasts.
We inspect your home's exterior, identify problem areas, and provide a detailed estimate that includes any needed repairs.
We thoroughly clean all surfaces to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint. Clean surfaces are essential for paint adhesion.
Loose and peeling paint is removed down to a solid surface. We sand edges smooth to eliminate ridges and create a proper profile for the new paint.
We repair minor wood damage, fill holes and cracks, and apply fresh caulking around windows, doors, and other joints. This is critical for keeping moisture out.
Bare wood, repaired areas, and stained spots receive appropriate primer to ensure proper paint adhesion and uniform finish.
Using premium exterior paints, we apply two coats for complete coverage and maximum durability. We brush, roll, or spray depending on the surface and conditions.
We walk around your home with you, checking every surface for consistent coverage, clean lines, and proper finishing.

We stand behind our exterior work with a 7-year warranty—one of the longest in Portland. If our paint peels, cracks, or fails due to our workmanship, we'll fix it at no cost.
Thorough Preparation
The reason paint fails prematurely is usually poor prep work. We invest the time in proper power washing, scraping, sanding, and priming. It's what makes paint last.

Our owner is on-site for every exterior job, ensuring quality control and direct communication throughout your project.
No Subcontractors
Your home is painted by our trained, experienced crew—not day laborers or subcontractors. The same team handles your project from start to finish.
Premium Paint Products
We use professional-grade exterior paints from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. These products cost more but provide better coverage, adhesion, and longevity.
Pacific Northwest Expertise
15+ years of exterior painting in Portland means we know how Oregon weather affects paint. We schedule projects during optimal conditions and use paints formulated for our climate.
What Portland Homeowners Say
Crestwood painted our 1940s Cape Cod in Beaumont. They found and repaired wood rot we didn't even know about, then did a beautiful paint job. Two years later, it still looks fantastic.
We got three bids for our exterior painting. Crestwood wasn't the cheapest, but they were the most thorough in explaining what needed to be done. The quality of their work proved we made the right choice.
Professional crew, great communication, and the prep work was incredible. They scraped, sanded, and primed everything properly. Our 40-year-old home looks brand new.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best time of year to paint exterior in Portland?
The ideal exterior painting season in Portland is May through October when we have consistent dry weather and temperatures above 50°F. We monitor forecasts carefully and won't paint if rain is expected within 24 hours.
How long does exterior paint last in Oregon?
With proper preparation and quality paint, you can expect 7-10 years from an exterior paint job in Portland. South-facing surfaces may need attention sooner due to UV exposure.
How do you handle lead paint on older homes?
We're EPA Lead-Safe Certified for work on homes built before 1978. We follow all required containment and safety procedures when working with lead paint.
Do you repair wood rot before painting?
Yes. Painting over rotted wood is pointless—the paint will fail quickly. We identify and repair wood damage as part of our preparation process.
What paint brands do you use for exteriors?
We primarily use Sherwin-Williams Duration and SuperPaint, and Benjamin Moore Aura and Regal Select. These premium paints are specifically formulated for the Pacific Northwest climate.
How long does exterior painting take?
Most single-family home exteriors take 4-7 days depending on size, condition, and weather. Complex projects with significant prep work may take longer.
What's included in your 7-year warranty?
Our warranty covers defects in workmanship—peeling, bubbling, cracking, or adhesion failure that results from our application. We'll return and repair any issues at no cost.
