A beautiful exterior transformation by Mountain Painting Company

Portland’s historic Irvington neighborhood is known for its tree-lined streets and remarkable collection of early twentieth-century homes. At Mountain Painting Company, we value the opportunity to preserve the character of these properties. Our recently completed exterior painting project on a beautiful Irvington Craftsman home brought together extensive preparation, thoughtful color selection, and the dedication of our experienced painting team.

Using Sherwin-Williams products, we helped bring a striking new look to this historic home—one that complements its architecture and adds to the beauty of the neighborhood.

Restoring the Character of an Older Craftsman Home

Craftsman homes are admired for their substantial porches, expressive woodwork, and carefully considered architectural details. Preserving those features takes more than a fresh coat of paint. Older exteriors can have layers of aging paint and weathered surfaces that demand time, patience, and a tailored approach.

For this Irvington home, our team devoted many hours to paint removal, sanding, and detailed surface preparation. Each stage was approached with care for the home’s original character and with the goal of creating a sound foundation for its new finish.

Preparation Is at the Heart of Historic Home Painting

The most important work on an exterior repaint often happens before the finish color appears. On an older Portland home, thorough preparation helps the new coating perform as intended through changing seasons and wet winters. This project required careful attention to deteriorating paint, wood surfaces, trim, and the many details that give the house its distinctive appearance.

Our craftsmen worked methodically through paint removal, sanding, and surface preparation before applying the new finish. That investment of time is not always visible in an after photograph, but it is central to the quality of the completed work.

A Beautiful Sherwin-Williams Color Transformation

The exterior color selection was a fabulous addition to this Craftsman home. The palette brings renewed depth and visual interest to its architectural details while fitting naturally into Irvington’s historic streetscape. Finished with Sherwin-Williams products, the exterior has become a true neighborhood showpiece.

We are delighted with the result—a beautiful home that its owners and neighbors can enjoy for years to come.

Craftsmanship Worth Preserving

Projects like this reflect the care and dedication of the Mountain Painting Company team. From the demanding early stages of paint removal and sanding to the detailed work of the final coats, our craftsmen brought their experience and attention to every part of the transformation.

We are proud to have helped renew this remarkable Irvington Craftsman while respecting the architectural character that makes Portland’s older homes so special.
