Give your home the protection and curb appeal it deserves. Our exterior painting services are built for the Pacific Northwest — from thorough surface prep to weather-resistant coatings that keep your home looking sharp through every season.
Portland’s climate doesn’t go easy on exterior paint. Between the heavy rain, summer UV exposure, and constant humidity, even quality coatings can break down faster than in drier regions. That’s why Native Son Painting uses only premium exterior products and application methods specifically suited to the Pacific Northwest — ensuring your paint job holds up year after year, not just season to season.
Since 1964, Native Son Painting, Inc has been helping homeowners across Hillsboro and the greater Portland metro area protect and beautify their homes. With decades of hands-on experience painting in this climate, we know which products perform best, which surfaces need extra attention, and how to prep properly so the finish lasts. The result is an exterior that looks great and stands up to everything Oregon weather throws at it.
We want your experience with your project to be a good one. Larry and the team are on the job from the very beginning to the end — we like to get things done right the first time. You’ll get an upfront, honest bid that includes everything we discuss, along with a written warranty on all work. Once we’re finished, we do a walk-around with you to make sure you’re completely happy with the job. That personal touch is what has kept families coming back to Native Son Painting for over sixty years.
Whether your home has wood lap siding, fiber cement panels, or stucco, we prep and paint each material with the right products and techniques to ensure a long-lasting, weather-resistant finish.
Clean, crisp trim work makes a huge difference in your home's overall appearance. We carefully prep, prime, and paint all fascia boards, soffits, and trim details for a polished, finished look.
Your front door and window frames are some of the first things people notice. We sand, prime, and apply durable coatings that stand up to daily use and weather exposure while adding curb appeal.
Detached garages, sheds, workshops, and outbuildings deserve the same quality treatment as your home. We match colors and finishes to keep your entire property looking cohesive and well-maintained.
A freshly painted or stained fence transforms the look of your yard and adds an extra layer of protection against rot, moisture, and UV damage. We handle wood, metal, and composite fencing.
From full deck staining to detailed railing work, we protect and restore your outdoor living spaces with professional-grade products built to handle foot traffic and Pacific Northwest weather.
Every exterior project starts with a deep clean. We power wash all surfaces to strip away built-up dirt, grime, mold, mildew, and oxidation. This step is critical — paint won’t bond properly to a dirty surface, and skipping it is one of the most common reasons exterior paint jobs fail prematurely.
We hand-scrape all loose, peeling, or flaking paint down to a stable surface, then sand to smooth out rough edges and transitions. This creates the kind of clean, even foundation that allows new paint to adhere tightly and look its best.
Before any paint goes on, we inspect and seal every crack, gap, and joint with high-quality exterior caulk. We also handle minor wood repairs, filling soft spots or damaged areas so the finished surface is smooth and structurally sound.
Bare wood, repaired areas, and stain-prone surfaces all get a coat of premium primer. This step prevents bleed-through from old stains, promotes strong adhesion, and gives the topcoat a uniform base to work with — which makes a visible difference in the final result.
We apply one to two coats of high-quality exterior paint chosen specifically for Pacific Northwest conditions — products that provide strong resistance to moisture penetration and temperature swings. The result is a rich, even finish that protects your home and looks beautiful for years.
