Montlake Painting FAQs

Common questions from 98112 homeowners.

Can you repair original plaster in 1920s homes?

Yes. Most Montlake homes have lathe and plaster walls. We use specialized bonding agents and mesh systems to repair settling cracks caused by age or vibrations from the bridge, preserving the historic character.

Do you paint stucco and half-timbering?

Absolutely. We are experts in Tudor restoration. We use breathable elastomeric masonry coatings for stucco and penetrating oils for the half-timber woodwork to prevent rot and maintain the classic aesthetic.

How do you handle lead paint?

With most Montlake homes built before 1978, lead is a major concern. We are EPA RRP Certified. We use HEPA containment, wet scraping, and proper disposal methods to ensure your home is safe for your family.
