Painting & home improvement, Portland metro
Interior and exterior painting, flooring, siding, drywall and the small jobs other contractors won't call you back about. Free written estimates, usually within 48 hours.
What we do
Most homes need more than paint. We handle the surfaces underneath and the finishes next to them, with our own crew, on a written scope you approve before we start.
Walls, ceilings, trim, doors and cabinets. Proper prep, two finish coats, clean lines at the ceiling, furniture covered and rooms left the way we found them.
Siding, trim, fascia, decks and fences. We pressure wash, scrape and prime before any color goes on, and we use paint rated for Oregon rain.
Laminate, luxury vinyl plank, engineered hardwood and tile. We level the subfloor, run the planks straight, and finish with matching base and transitions.
Repair or replace damaged lap siding, trim and fascia before it lets water in. Fiber cement and wood, flashed and caulked properly, then painted to match.
Hang, tape, mud and texture. Patches that disappear, new walls for a basement or garage conversion, and orange-peel or knockdown texture that matches the rest of the house.
Fixture swaps, shelving, doors, light carpentry and the punch list you've been putting off. If it's bigger than we handle, we'll tell you.
Recent work
Every one of these was pressure washed, scraped, primed and finished with two coats. Click any photo to see it full size.
Tan body, brown accents, black trim. Deck stained and sealed on the same contract.
Older lap siding with a lot of prep. Classic two-tone that suits the wraparound porch.
Cedar shake siding, garage and trim in a single deep black with white windows. Bold, and it photographs well in the trees.
How it works
Use the form or call. We'll ask a few questions and schedule a walkthrough at a time that works for you, evenings and weekends included.
You'll get a line-item estimate and a plain-language contract within 48 hours. The price on it is the price you pay unless you add work.
We show up on the scheduled day, protect your home, do the job and walk every surface with you before the final payment.
Why Express Painting
We started Express Painting because we kept hearing the same story from neighbors: the big outfit sent a salesperson, quoted a number, then sent a crew they'd never met. The small guy was cheaper but never showed up.
We wanted to be the company in the middle. Properly licensed and insured, priced fairly, and run by people who know the work and answer the phone.
If that's what you're looking for, we'd like to earn the job.

Questions
Most single rooms land between $450 and $1,200 depending on size, ceiling height, trim and how much prep the walls need. Exterior repaints on a typical Portland-area house usually run $4,500 to $9,000. We give an exact written number after a walkthrough, and that number holds.
Yes. We come out, look at the job, and send a written line-item estimate within 48 hours. No charge, no obligation, and no one calling you five times a day afterward.
Only for the first morning and the final walkthrough. Most customers give us a key or garage code for the rest, and we lock up every day.
Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore lines matched to the surface: Duration or Emerald for exteriors, Regal or Cashmere for interiors. If you have a preference, we'll use it and price it accordingly.
A deposit at signing to cover materials, then the balance at the final walkthrough. Larger jobs get a progress payment. Check, cash, Zelle or card.
Yes, and that's the point of offering them together. One crew, one schedule, one contract. We sequence it so the drywall is finished and sanded, the floors are in and protected, and the paint goes on last.
