Exterior Paint Jobs - New photos of work done in 2006 / 07

These are photos I took this winter and spring, 2010, of houses I painted in 2006/07. They're all in the Leschi, Madrona, Madison Valley neighborhoods of Seattle.

You can see how well the work has held up over the last 3 or 4 years. The first house (gray and purple Victorian) has the garden I built - check out my Organize Design Garden posting of January 2008.

Home in Seattle

I'm home. Have been for a year now, but just now updating here. I'm doing more work on the garden featured in the first post on this blog, in January 2008, and will post pictures as I get them. Available for garden design, house-painting, curb appeal projects and consultation. It's good to be home.

Great San Diego Testimonial

Hey all,

I just got a great testimonial from a client here in San Diego, who was getting her house ready to put on the market. I wanted to share:

Dear All,

I recently hired someone to do a variety of painting and repair work around my home. Ken was responsible, competent, thorough, and with great attention to detail. He lives in Baja Talmadge, so is centrally located. He works quickly, intelligently and multi-tasks..... He has many handyman, painting, yardwork skills. He is from Seattle and listens to great "mood music" while working too. Please keep him in mind when you need work or know someone who does.

Interior Transformation

These photos are from an interior design I did for a long-time client. This was an unfinished basement at the start (first photo, white walls).

I created a combination office/studio/TV room for her family.

She had great things to say about working with me: “Ken really listens to your concerns and tries hard to solve whatever problem you have. He will make a dozen phone calls and consult half a dozen books or other professionals to find the best solution. His attention to detail, hard work, and flexibility made him very rewarding to work with. His creative use of materials, awesome aesthetic sense and personal charm made what could have been a nightmare into a hugely rewarding experience.”

Exterior Painting

These are some examples of my exterior painting work.
The first two shots are from a house with challenging angles & height.












These pictures are from the Century Building in Snohomish, Washington.

One is the red & white exterior ceiling at a store entrance - chosen by the British owner. The other pictures are of the whole building; my crew and I painted all the trim.


The owner of the Century Building wrote this reference for me:


"Ken, I appreciated the great job you did and the way you handled any concerns our tenants had. You are a true professional and I wish you great success in your business adventures."
