Restoring a 1906 Craftsman-Style Home in Portland Heights: A Mountain Painting Company Success Story

Located in Portland, Oregon in the heart of Portland Heights, a 1906 Craftsman-style home stands as a testament to early 20th-century residential design. Mountain Painting Company recently had the honor of restoring this architectural gem, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
The Project
Restoring this Craftsman style home required meticulous attention to detail. Our team embarked on a careful process of paint stripping, removing layers of old paint to reveal the original beauty of the woodwork. Using a combination of traditional hand tools and modern techniques, we prepared the surface for a fresh coat of paint.
The Art of Paint Application
The color selections contributed significantly to the home's stunning final appearance. Our role was to ensure these colors were applied with precision and care. We used high-quality paints that provide excellent coverage and protection. Each brushstroke highlighted the intricate woodwork and unique design elements characteristic of Craftsman architecture. Our exterior painting services ensure that every aspect of the home is revitalized and protected.
Preservation and Protection
Rejuvenation of this historic home involved more than just aesthetics. Our focus at Mountain Painting is on preservation through meticulous treatment and application. The materials and products we use help to guard against moisture, UV rays, and other environmental factors, ensuring the home remains shielded from the elements for years to come. Our thorough exterior painting process enhances the home's durability and longevity.
The Result
The finished project is a beautiful testament to the enduring charm of early 20th-century craftsmanship. The vibrant new paintwork enhances the home's curb appeal and ensures it remains a cherished landmark in Portland Heights.
At Mountain Painting Company, we are proud to have played a role in preserving this piece of Portland's architectural heritage.
