Interior & Exterior Painting services in Ferndale
Ferndale filled in quickly in the 1910s and 1920s, and that shows on every block. Bungalows, foursquares and small colonials sit close together on narrow lots. Wood clapboard and cedar shingles are the original walls, and many houses still have them, sometimes under aluminum siding that was added later. Wood windows, wide trim, front porches and painted porch ceilings are part of most exterior jobs. Owners here like color, so three and four color schemes are common. Inside, expect plaster walls, picture rails, tall baseboards and old doors with many layers of paint. Homes this old very often have lead in the early layers, so scraping and sanding must follow lead-safe methods. Freeze and thaw, snow on the porch and summer humidity all test old wood. Good scraping, an oil or bonding primer on bare spots and fresh caulk make the finish last.

HOA and local rules
Painting itself rarely needs a permit. Ask the city's Community and Economic Development office if your job includes a storefront sign, a mural or structural porch repairs.
