Precision, Safety, and Respect for Portland’s Classic and Older Homes

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.

With much of Laurelhurst’s housing stock built before 1940, we understand the delicate balance of protecting both your family's health and your home's character. Our EPA-certified team provides safe, compliant lead paint removal while preserving the original beauty of classic woodwork, siding, trim, and historic detailing.
