Why Bellingham Homeowners Choose a Local Painter
Bellingham sits right on Bellingham Bay, and that marine air is hard on paint. Salt, moisture, and 35+ inches of rain a year mean surfaces here fail faster without proper prep, priming, and the right coating for each siding type. We build every proposal around that reality.
Much of the city's housing — Fairhaven, South Hill, Columbia, Sunnyland — predates 1978, so lead-safe practices aren't optional. Hilltop is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm, and our crews handle scraping and sanding on older cedar siding the safe, legal way.
And because we're local, scheduling around Whatcom County weather windows is second nature. We watch the forecast, sequence the work, and never apply paint in conditions that would shorten its life.
Bellingham Neighborhoods We Serve
From the historic South Side to the newest streets in the north — we've painted in every corner of town.
📍 Fairhaven
The historic South Side — Victorian storefronts and craftsman homes with original cedar and fir. Lead-safe prep and breathable coatings are non-negotiable here, and it's some of our favorite work in town.
What Our Customers Say About Us
"GREAT experience with Hilltop Painting. They painted our entire house and replaced wood fascia along the outer edge of our roof. This was quite a large-scale project involving skilled carpentry as well as paint application. From beginning to end, Hilltop's service was top-notch."
"We are so impressed with our recent exterior house painting project performed by Hilltop Painting. From our initial contact with Daniel to the final walk through they exceeded our expectations. Alejandro and his crew were efficient, hard working, and paid attention to every detail."
"I just want to say that this experience was wonderful. It was easily done. I was very happy. The men that were here working, were very pleasant and I would certainly do this whole thing again I would suggest that you call hilltop painting with any help painting that you want done."

Painting Homes in Bellingham
From plaster-walled Craftsmans in Columbia and the Lettered Streets to new builds in Cordata, Bellingham homes span a century of construction styles — and the marine air off the bay is hard on every one of them.
That's why every Hilltop project starts with a thorough surface assessment — washing, scraping, repairs, and priming matched to your home's age and exposure — before a single coat of Sherwin-Williams paint goes on. Local crews, local knowledge, and finishes built for the way weather actually behaves here.
