Protect your home from the PNW rain. We specialize in long-lasting finishes for Cedar Siding, Hardie Plank, and Stucco in Shoreline and Northgate.
In Seattle, paint isn't just color—it's a shield. Our constant rain and fluctuating temperatures can drive moisture deep into your siding, causing rot, mold, and costly structural damage.
At Couple Of Guys Painting, we focus on the prep work that others skip. We caulk every gap, prime bare wood, and use high-build elastomeric coatings that expand and contract with the weather to prevent cracking.

Rot Prevention
Thorough caulking prevents moisture intrusion.
Different materials require different coatings.
Common in PNW homes. Requires breathable stains or specific oil-based primers to prevent tannin bleed.
Highly durable but needs repainting every 10-15 years. We use 100% acrylic latex for maximum adhesion.
Porous surfaces that need elastomeric paints to bridge hairline cracks and waterproof the masonry.
Preparation is 80% of a good paint job.
We use a mildew-killing detergent and low pressure to clean your siding thoroughly. Painting over dirt guarantees peeling in a year.
We scrape all loose paint and sand rough edges. We spot-prime bare wood with a high-bond primer (like Loxon or Oil-based) to seal the surface.
We caulk around windows, doors, and trim to seal out moisture. We mask off windows, bricks, and concrete to protect them from overspray.
We apply paint using an airless sprayer for even coverage, often back-rolling on rough surfaces to force the paint into the grain.

Common questions from Seattle homeowners.
We use high-end acrylic latex paints like Sherwin-Williams Emerald Rain Refresh or SuperPaint. These are specifically formulated to resist moisture, mildew, and peeling in our wet climate.
Yes. Before painting, we inspect for dry rot. We can perform minor carpentry repairs, replace siding boards, and fill holes to ensure the new paint has a solid foundation to stick to.
Generally, exterior painting is best from late spring to early fall (May - September). However, we watch the forecast closely and can paint during dry spells if the temperature is above 35°F and the surface is dry.
While we are there, let us freshen up your gutters or restain your deck. Bundling these services saves you money on setup costs and gives your home a complete makeover.
