It depends on the job. For exteriors, price comes down to the size and height of the house, the type of siding, how much trim there is and how much prep and repair it needs. For interiors, it's the number of rooms, ceiling height and whether trim, doors or cabinets are included.

Tino Painting LLC does interior painting, exterior painting, cabinet painting and refinishing, prep and repair, specialty finishes, pressure washing and commercial painting for homes and businesses in Bellevue and across the Eastside. Many jobs combine a few of these, like pressure washing and wood rot repair before an exterior repaint.

Yes. Tino Painting LLC paints offices, retail spaces, apartments, condos and HOA communities on the Eastside. Work can be scheduled after business hours so tenants, customers and residents aren't disrupted.

Late spring through early fall. Exterior paint needs dry surfaces and mild temperatures to cure, and the Eastside's drier months give the most reliable stretch of weather. Get your estimate in winter or early spring so you're on the schedule before the season fills up.

Every job starts with prep, done by the same team that paints. Depending on the surface, that means pressure washing, scraping loose paint, sanding, caulking gaps, patching drywall, replacing rotted wood and priming bare spots. Northwest rain and moss are hard on paint, and paint over dirt, peeling spots or soft wood won't hold.

A well-prepped exterior paint job on an Eastside home typically lasts about 5 to 10 years. Walls that take the most sun and rain, and surfaces like decks and fences, wear sooner. Thorough prep, the right primer and washing off moss and mildew every so often all help paint last longer.

Yes. Rotted trim, fascia and siding boards are replaced before painting, because paint won't hold on soft wood. Inside, dents, cracks and holes in drywall are patched and sanded smooth first. Tino will point out any damage he finds when he looks at your home.

Yes. Painting or refinishing kitchen cabinets gives the room a new look without the cost of replacing them. Cabinet doors, drawer fronts and frames are cleaned, sanded and primed before painting so the finish holds up to everyday use.

Yes. Color consultation is part of Tino's specialty finishes service. Tino can help you choose colors that work with your home's style and the Northwest's soft, gray light. If your neighborhood has an HOA, check its approved color list before you decide.

Yes. Decks, fences and gates can be stained, sealed or painted. Tino will talk through which option makes sense for the wood and the look you want. Weathered wood is cleaned first so the new coat soaks in and lasts.

Yes. Interior painting can be done year-round on the Eastside because the work happens indoors, out of the rain. Fall and winter are a good time to book walls, ceilings, trim and cabinets while exterior projects wait for drier weather.

Yes. Tino Painting LLC pressure washes siding, decks, fences, driveways and walkways as its own service, not just before painting. Washing off the moss, mildew and grime that build up during the Northwest's wet months keeps surfaces looking better and helps paint last longer.
