Question 1

Do you offer free estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes — all estimates are completely free and come with no obligation. We'll visit your property, assess the scope of work, and provide a detailed written quote so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

Question 2

How do I request an estimate?

Accepted Answer

The easiest way is to fill out our contact form on the website. You can also call or text us directly. We typically follow up within one business day to schedule a time that works for you.

Question 3

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve the greater Seattle area including Everett, Lynnwood, Marysville, Mukilteo, Edmonds, Bothell, Kirkland, Bellevue, Shoreline, and surrounding King and Snohomish County communities. Check our Service Area page for the full list.

Question 4

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the season and project size. For larger remodeling or exterior projects, booking 2–4 weeks in advance is ideal. For smaller jobs like drywall repair or pressure washing, we can often fit you in sooner. Contact us and we'll give you a realistic timeline.

Question 5

Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cascade Coatings & Construction is fully licensed in the state of Washington, bonded, and carries general liability insurance. We're happy to provide proof of insurance upon request before any work begins.

Question 6

Do you pull permits when required?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. For projects that require permits — such as structural remodeling, deck construction, or certain electrical and plumbing work — we handle the permitting process on your behalf. We always work within local building codes.

Question 7

Do you use subcontractors?

Accepted Answer

We put the right team on every job — whether that's our own crew or trusted trade partners we've vetted for quality and professionalism. Either way, we manage the project from start to finish and stand behind all the work.

Question 8

What type of paint do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use professional-grade paints from trusted brands like Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. We'll recommend the right product for your specific surface, environment, and budget — whether that's interior latex, exterior acrylic, or specialty coatings.

Question 9

How long does an exterior paint job last?

Accepted Answer

A quality exterior paint job typically lasts 7–10 years depending on the climate, surface prep, and paint used. We focus heavily on surface preparation — cleaning, priming, and caulking — because that's what makes the finish last.

Question 10

Do I need to move my furniture before interior painting?

Accepted Answer

We ask that you move small valuables and personal items. For larger furniture, our crew will move and cover it with drop cloths before we begin. We take care to protect your floors, trim, and belongings throughout the job.

Question 11

Can you match an existing paint color?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can color-match existing paint using paint chips, photos, or by bringing a sample to the paint store. If you have the original paint brand and color name, that makes it even easier.

Question 12

What remodeling services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We handle a wide range of remodeling projects including kitchen and bathroom renovations, basement finishing, room additions, flooring, drywall, siding, deck construction and restoration, fencing, and general repairs. If you're not sure whether we cover your project, just ask.

Question 13

How long will my remodel take?

Accepted Answer

Project timelines vary widely based on scope. A bathroom remodel might take 1–2 weeks, while a full kitchen renovation could take 3–6 weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline in your estimate and keep you updated throughout the project.

Question 14

Will there be a project manager on site?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every project has a dedicated point of contact who oversees the work, communicates with you regularly, and ensures quality at every stage. You'll never be left wondering what's happening on your job.

Question 15

Do you offer a warranty on your work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We stand behind our craftsmanship. Warranty terms vary by project type — we'll outline the specific warranty coverage in your contract before work begins.

Question 16

How is pricing determined?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is based on the scope of work, materials, labor, and project complexity. We provide detailed written estimates so you know exactly what's included. We don't do vague ballpark quotes — you'll get a clear breakdown before committing.

Question 17

Do you require a deposit?

Accepted Answer

For most projects, we require a deposit to secure your spot on the schedule and cover initial material costs. The deposit amount and payment schedule will be clearly outlined in your contract.

Question 18

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept check, bank transfer, and major credit cards. Payment terms are outlined in your contract and we'll walk you through the schedule before work begins.
