Paint is the last line of defense between Portland weather and the siding, trim, and fascia it covers. When it fails, water gets into the wood, and a job that should have been a repaint becomes a repair. Homeowners and property managers across the metro area have trusted LADA Exteriors with exterior painting since 1997 because the same crews that replace siding, windows, and trim know what has to happen under the paint for it to last through ten wet winters instead of two.

Signs Your Portland Home Is Ready for Exterior Painting
Paint tells you when it is done. It fades unevenly on the south and west sides, chalks onto your hand when you rub it, peels or blisters along the bottom edges of lap siding, and cracks open at every caulk joint around windows and trim. Bare wood showing anywhere on the house means the clock is running on the wood underneath, not just the finish.
The Portland climate is why exterior paint here does not last as long as the can says. Nine months of rain and high humidity keep siding damp, mildew grows on shaded elevations, and moisture moving through the wood from behind pushes the film off from the inside. Paint applied over damp, dirty, or chalky surfaces fails early no matter how good the product is.
An estimate visit tells you what you actually need. Sometimes a wash, spot prime, and a fresh topcoat will carry the house another decade. When siding is soft or trim is rotted, painting over it hides the problem for a season, and the honest answer is to repair or replace those pieces first and then paint.
Exterior Painting Services We Provide in the Portland Metro Area
Exterior work is all we do, so every painter on our crew spends every day on siding, trim, and weather, not interior walls.
Residential Exterior House Painting
Complete exterior repaints of single-family homes, including siding, trim, fascia, soffits, doors, shutters, gutters, and downspouts, with two full coats of premium exterior paint in colors you choose.
Commercial and Multifamily Exterior Painting
Phased exterior painting of apartment communities, townhome HOAs, office buildings, and commercial storage, scheduled around tenants and coordinated with any siding or repair work. Larger projects are covered on our multifamily and commercial page.
Siding and Trim Repair Before Painting
Soft boards, rotted trim, failed caulk joints, and open flashing get repaired before primer goes on. Because our siding crews are the same company, there is no second contractor to schedule and no painting over problems.
Painting New Siding, Windows, and Trim
Finish coats on new fiber cement, cedar, and trim after a siding or window replacement, so the project is delivered complete rather than primed and waiting.
Garages, Barns, Outbuildings, and Doors
Detached garages, shops, barns, fences, and exterior doors painted to match or complement the main house.
Why Portland Homeowners Choose LADA Exteriors for Exterior Painting
The difference between a paint job that lasts three years and one that lasts twelve is almost entirely in the preparation, and preparation is the part most painters rush.
Preparation That Takes as Long as It Takes
Every surface is pressure washed to remove dirt, chalk, and mildew, loose paint is scraped and sanded, bare wood is spot primed, and every failed caulk joint is cut out and resealed before the first coat. The house is dry before paint touches it, which in Portland means we watch the weather, not the calendar.
Two Full Coats of Premium Exterior Paint
We apply two complete coats of high-quality exterior paint, not one coat with a touch-up, over the entire house including gutters, fascia, and door trim. Two coats are what the manufacturer’s durability claims are based on.
Repairs Made by the People Who Build Exteriors
When prep uncovers soft siding, rotted trim, or a flashing problem, the same company fixes it correctly rather than caulking over it. A painter who also installs siding does not hide problems under paint.
Careful Masking and a Clean Site
Windows, doors, brick, stone, roofing, and landscaping are masked and protected, and the site is cleaned and masking removed at the end of the job so what you see is paint on the house and nowhere else.

What to Expect From Your Exterior Painting Project
Step 1. Free Estimate and Color Consultation
We walk the exterior, note every repair the prep will require, and talk through colors and sheens. You get a written, itemized estimate that separates painting from any repair work.
Step 2. Washing, Scraping, Repairs, and Priming
The house is pressure washed and allowed to dry, loose paint is scraped and sanded, damaged siding and trim are repaired or replaced, caulk joints are renewed, and bare wood is primed.
Step 3. Masking and Two Coats
Windows, doors, masonry, and landscaping are masked, then two full coats go on the siding, trim, fascia, gutters, and doors. Most single-family homes take about a week depending on size and the amount of repair.
Step 4. Cleanup, Walkthrough, and Warranty
Masking comes off, the site is cleaned, we walk the house with you to catch any touch-ups, and you receive our written workmanship warranty along with the paint manufacturer’s product information.

Frequently Asked Questions About Exterior Painting in Portland
How Much Does It Cost to Paint a House Exterior in Portland?
Exterior painting is priced per project, and the biggest factors are the square footage and height of the house, the condition of the existing paint and how much scraping and priming it needs, the amount of trim and detail, the paint line you choose, and whether any siding or trim has to be repaired first. A well-maintained one-story home is at the lower end of the range and a tall, weathered house with repairs at the upper end. Every estimate is free and itemized.
What Time of Year Is Best for Exterior Painting in Portland?
Late spring through early fall is the painting season here, when surfaces can dry fully and temperatures stay in the range the paint requires. We schedule around the forecast and never paint a wet house, which sometimes means a day of waiting is part of doing it right.
How Long Does Exterior Paint Last in Oregon?
With thorough preparation, quality paint, and two full coats, most Portland homes go a decade or more before they need repainting. Shaded, damp elevations and south-facing walls in full sun are usually the first to show wear.
Do You Paint Interiors?
No. Exterior work is all we do, which is why our crews are specialists in siding, trim, and weather rather than generalists.
What if You Find Rot or Damaged Siding During Prep?
We stop and show you. Because we are a full exterior contractor, we can repair or replace the affected siding or trim as part of the same project, and then paint over sound material rather than hiding a problem.

An estimate visit takes about an hour, costs nothing, and ends with a written proposal and a straight answer on whether you need paint, repairs, or both.
