Preserving History, One Brushstroke at a Time

At Mountain Painting Company, we take immense pride in the work we do, and one of the most rewarding aspects of our business is the opportunity to contribute to the preservation of historical properties in the Portland metropolitan area. With over 34 years of experience in the painting industry and a deep commitment to craftsmanship, we’re honored to help restore the beauty and integrity of these timeless structures.
One recent project that stands out is our involvement in the restoration of the Fanno Farmhouse, a landmark rich with history and significance. The Fanno Farmhouse, located in Tigard, was constructed in 1859 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Named as a Century Farm, this historic building stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Augustus and Rebecca Fanno, a farming family who made significant contributions to the community and development of both Tigard and Beaverton.
As featured in a recent Tigard Life newspaper article, the Fanno family played a pivotal role in shaping the local area. Restoring their farmhouse required meticulous attention to detail, care, and respect for the property’s historical value. At Mountain Painting, we’re passionate about delivering work that not only meets but exceeds our clients’ expectations—and preserving the authenticity of historical buildings is a responsibility we don’t take lightly.
Our work on the Fanno Farmhouse included custom painting services tailored to maintain the structure’s original charm while ensuring its longevity for future generations. We understand the unique challenges that come with working on historical properties, from lead paint removal to careful color consultation that honors the property’s history. These specialized services are part of our broader commitment to preserving the architectural and cultural heritage of our community.
In addition to historical restorations, Mountain Painting Company offers a wide range of services, including interior and exterior painting, minor drywall repair, special service applications, and job site consultations. Whether we’re working on a century-old farmhouse or a modern commercial property, our goal is to provide high-quality craftsmanship and exceptional customer experiences.
We’re grateful for the trust our clients place in us to bring their visions to life, and projects like the Fanno Farmhouse remind us of the important role we play in preserving our community’s history. If you have a historical property in need of restoration or are looking for professional painting services for your home or business, we’d love to hear from you. Let’s work together to preserve the past and build a beautiful future—one brushstroke at a time.
