Look for a painting company with appropriate licensing and insurance, demonstrated experience, clear communication and a professional approach to preparation. A good estimate should also help you understand the work being proposed rather than focusing only on the final price.

Yes. 1859 Painting provides professional interior and exterior painting services for homeowners throughout Portland and surrounding communities. Projects can range from individual rooms and interior updates to complete exterior repainting.

Painting costs vary depending on the size of the project, surface condition, required preparation, accessibility, materials and other project details. The best way to determine the cost of your project is to request an estimate based on the specific areas you would like painted.

The timeline depends on the size and condition of the home, preparation requirements, the surfaces being painted and, for exterior projects, weather conditions. Once your project has been evaluated, the painting team can provide a more realistic expectation for the schedule.

Exterior painting generally requires suitable temperature and moisture conditions so coatings can be applied and cure properly. Because Portland weather can change quickly, exterior painting schedules should take current conditions and the manufacturer's application requirements into consideration.

Preparation responsibilities can vary by project. Before work begins, your painting company should explain anything that needs to be moved, removed or made accessible. The painting crew can then handle the surface preparation included within the scope of the project.
