Professional Painting Services in Millwood, WA

Millwood is one of the smaller incorporated cities in Spokane County, a compact community of about 1,700 residents tucked between Spokane and the Spokane Valley city limits along the Spokane River. The city grew up around the Inland Empire Paper Company mill, which has operated on the river here since 1911 and still defines the industrial character of the area. The residential neighborhoods of Millwood have an older profile than most of the Spokane Valley. Many of the homes in the core neighborhoods date from the early to mid-twentieth century, craftsman bungalows, small Colonials, and working-class homes built when the mill was the center of community life. These homes have real character, but they also present specific painting challenges. Older wood siding, layered paint from multiple decades of maintenance, and wood windows that have been painted shut and repainted too many times are common. Getting a good result on these homes starts with honest assessment and thorough prep. Millwood Heights and the neighborhoods along the Argonne Road corridor have a slightly more contemporary mix, with some mid-century ranch homes and newer construction mixed in. These are more straightforward projects in terms of surface condition, but the proximity to the river and the valley microclimate means moisture is still a factor for north-facing and lower-elevation surfaces. The downtown Millwood commercial strip along Argonne is a classic small-city streetscape with older commercial buildings, some brick-faced, that have been maintained and adapted over the decades. Painting commercial buildings in Millwood requires compatible coatings for older masonry and wood trim, and the attention to detail that older facades deserve. Being positioned between Spokane and Spokane Valley gives Millwood residents good access to both cities, and it puts the area squarely in our regular east-side service territory. We're in this part of the county frequently and can schedule Millwood projects without the travel inefficiency that a company based elsewhere would face.
