At Mountain Painting Company, we specialize in professional lead paint removal and historic restoration for Portland’s beloved vintage homes—especially those in NE Portland’s Laurelhurst neighborhood, known for its tree-lined streets and early 20th-century architecture.

Our EPA-certified team provides safe, compliant lead paint removal while preserving the original beauty of classic woodwork, siding, trim, and historic detailing.
