Residential case study · Portland, Oregon

A home that needed more than a new color.

The existing exterior showed years of exposure: weathered siding, worn trim, aging coatings, and details that needed careful attention before a finish coat could do its job.

The painting was one piece of a larger transformation. Trade Waters coordinated closely with the designer and builder so repairs, new construction, color placement, and finish details supported one shared vision. That collaboration let every trade protect the work around it—and helped the completed home reach the highest practical and creative standard.

Let's Punch It Up With Graphics

Because Trade Waters was founded by artists and designers as well as painters, we developed a custom graphic to give the home one more personal detail.
