Post-War Evolution

Updating the Mid-Century Standard

Mountlake Terrace is famous for its solid 1950s and 60s ramblers. As the city evolves with the new Light Rail station, many homeowners are looking to modernize. This often means covering dark wood paneling, brightening brick fireplaces, and removing textured ceilings.

We understand the specific challenges of these homes: lead paint safety (crucial for pre-1978 builds) and prepping aluminum or cedar shake siding that has weathered decades of PNW rain.

"Our 1958 rambler felt so dark with all the wood paneling. Couple Of Guys primed and painted everything bright white, and it looks like a brand new modern home. So happy we didn't rip it all out!"

Mountlake Terrace FAQs

Common questions from 98043 homeowners.

Can you modernize my 1950s rambler?

Absolutely. We specialize in transforming dated mid-century interiors by painting over dark wood paneling, refinishing cabinets, painting brick fireplaces, and removing popcorn ceilings to create a bright, modern feel.

Do you handle lead paint safety?

Yes. Many Mountlake Terrace homes were built before 1978. We are EPA RRP certified to test for and safely contain lead paint dust during any preparation work to keep your family safe.

How long does an exterior paint job take?

For a typical single-story rambler in MLT, a full exterior repaint usually takes 3-5 days, depending on weather and the amount of preparation needed (power washing, scraping, caulking).
