We've used Phinney Ridge Painting for years now, from our external house to a few rooms. They've done great job every time. The experience is effortless from scheduling to the final job, and was done in record time. Falco came to paint my room in my house and had an excellent attention to detail. He was pleasant to work with and efficient. I would totally recommend Falco and Phinney Ridge Painting! read more

We have used Phinney Ridge Painting twice now for large projects- first a full house painting project in a 100 year old house- top to bottom ceilings, walls, trim and stairs in early 2024, and second project a massive repaint and hole patching project after an exceptionally large electrical rewiring project in late 2025. At least 20+ holes were patched and are now absolutely invisible in our color-drenched home. Overall, communication is excellent- everyone on the team gets cc'ed on emails, project managers visit the site regularly, and the onsite leads are extremely professional and detail-oriented. Arnoldo was our first project painting lead, his skill is unparalleled- watching him paint or come up with a painting solution for a tricky area is astounding. Adrian M was our most recent painting lead, and he is focused, efficient and clearly works very hard (the guy runs fast but is very professional in everything he does) and has a level of skill that is unmatched. Everyone is polite, respectful of our home and friendly. Phinney Ridge is tidy and clean, they take feedback well when things aren't quite perfect, and they are timely and efficient, and they solve problems. The cost and quality are commensurate, their experience is well evidenced and they always have solutions for tricky old house problems, plus a great warranty. I would happily hire again, and we plan to when the time comes to paint the exterior of our house in another year or two. read more

So far so good with Phinney Ridge Painting, I will circle back once the job is completed. Thus far they have been very easy to work with, have been upfront with information and not pushy. We are looking forward to see the quality of the work when they paint the house in July. read more

Did a great job with pre-painting carpentry, which was quoted separate but fully transparent on scope of work and price. Paint job itself was very good, and the included 1 hour consultation with a color consultant helped make the process smooth read more

Had our house painted about a year ago, maybe a little longer. Was given a quote for the front of the house and the trim around the windows sills throughout the outside of the house. When they came for the final inspection before they said that the quote didn't include the windows sills. I said that was not what I was told. Long story short they finally agreed to do the windowsills. With the painting job they did in the front, they had to come back twice to fix/paint the things they missed. When I showed disappointment with that, I was told "Well after all we did do the windowsill's for you". I found that very condescending and YEAH you did, but that what was quoted for me. Now there is paint in the front that has a large bubble will eventually crack. Contacted them by email but haven't hear back yet. I am glad other people had a good experience, but we did not. read more

Great service and workmanship from bid to completion of the project. They are obviously busy for a reason, do plan ahead for best results.

We hired Phinney Ridge painting to paint our house a year ago. We've been very happy with results. The house is about 100 years old and it had a lot of bubbling under the old paint layer. Other painting companies told us that we'd have to replace the siding or the bubbles would come back. Only Phinney Ridge said they had a solution that could remove the bubbles without requiring replacing siding. ( a competitor even mention Phinney Ridge was the only one that could do this). It was definitely expensive, but worth it as the bubbles haven't returned in the areas that were shaved down. House looks beautiful and we've got a ton of compliments from our neighbors. Phinney Ridge was also able to install some dental detailing, which took the house up another notch. Ryan, Lalo, and Elder were all awesome to work with. Perhaps what's most important is that they stand behind the quality of their work. Small bubbles have popped up in a few areas that didn't get shaved down and they've come back and address them as part of their service, no charge. We are very happy we chose to go with Phinney Ridge painting! read more

We had the best experience with Phinney Ridge Painting, they do wonderful work! We got quotes from a few different places, and while pricing was similar, we felt the most confident in PRP based on their customer service and attention to detail. They quoted out some items and recommendations that other vendors missed. The included color consult with an interior designer was also really helpful! It took some time to get our project scheduled during the busy summer season, but they kept us updated on timing. The project (painting all walls, ceilings, trim, doors) in our home went off without a hitch and completed right on schedule! The painters were courteous and considerate and did excellent work. There is not a single mistake or miss anywhere to be seen, everything looks absolutely perfect. We could not be more pleased with the results and would highly recommend PRP to anyone. read more

Phinney ridge did an excellent job with painting our living room and kitchen. The whole job took only two days and looks great, and the painter was friendly but professional the whole way through. If you're in the neighborhood or even close by I'd recommend them read more

Disappointed is the word I'd use to describe my recent experience with PRP. Nik came out to the house. He was charming and personable. He provided detailed explanation of what the job would entail. He even furnished me with two other local companies so I could compare + contrast bids. He told me he'd send over a detailed bid and a few days later he did. The bid was a bit higher than expected. I had two more companies come bid the house. One was higher. One was lower. I wanted to discuss the bid with Nik so I called the office and spoke with Jason. Jason said he'd pass along the message. It's unclear if he did because I never heard back from Nik. A week later I sent Jason a follow up email and cc'd Nik. Still no response. Hence the disappointment. Hence the two star review, because per the description, it "could've been better." read more

This summer Phinney Ridge Painting painted the exterior of my 110 year old house and I am so happy I hired them and with the final results! Jairo, Jose, Emerson, Ryan, Ned and the full painting crew were a wonderful team through every step of the process. The bid was not the lowest, but Phinney stood out in several areas: 1) Nik (owner) bid the project and was the only company that wouldn't paint my house a dark blue color I was set-on. Nik explained the siding on my 110 year old house was original, and due to the location of the house and sun exposure the dark blue would heat up the siding too much and ultimately damage it. 2) Painters are company employees with full benefits, employed all year long 3) They are obsessed with the prepping process and this ultimately produces such great results and I love the comfort of 7 year warranty. I have gotten so many compliments on the final results and the paint work. I would not hesitate to use Phinney Ridge Painting services in the future! Thank you again to the whole Phinney Ridge Painting crew. ** Please note: Painting Review only - Carpentry Reviewed Separately ** read more

Asked a bid from this company. After a delay in scheduling, Nik, an owner, showed up over a half hour after our scheduled time. By the time he showed up I was pressed for time and tried to quickly explain my straight-forward scope. After getting interrupted and contradicted (followed by several "do you understand's?") for about 10 mins, I said I didn't really need to know the details (was going to follow it with, "you're the expert") but he again interrupted and in a raised voice said "Oh, yes you do!" This guy went from disrespectful to hostile. When I said I didn't need the quote, he said he didn't need my business, he's got no problem getting business, etc. He escalated so quickly that I felt fear on my own property. And frankly have a little writing this. But as a public service: anyone, and especially if you're a woman, I'd think twice about inviting this guy into your space. Update: The response below includes outright lies and minimizes the very overt aggression. There are plenty of other great painters in this town who are also good people. read more

I hired Phinney Ridge for some interior painting based on a reference from a neighbor and some personal friends and was very happy that I hired them. Luis and Noah showed up on time every day and went right to work on my job. They were very professional and proficient and helped me move my furniture back into place after the job was done, which was really appreciated. I have another job to do and would love to have them back to finish up my painting for me. read more

Although the actual painting was adequate, it is a big company with too many people not communicating with each other, and the project manager was a disaster-evasive about change order, tried to overcharge, manipulative etc. Finally, I had to make a call to the president of the company and threaten to stop all work unless the Project manager was taken off the project. When I stated that I would be keeping time sheets for the workers to check in and out, to keep track of the actual hours that they worked- for an extra work order not in the original bid, the president of the company decided to cancel the contract for that extra job. Also the workers broke the glass top of a patio table, but the project manager neglected to tell me for four days, and said he would just take the cost off the final bill, without stipulating what the exact cost would be. This was a pattern- making evasive answers to specific requests For example, the original bid called for 10 storm windows to be taken down, painted, and put back up. Instead, we decided to replace those windows, got rid of the storm windows, and REPEATEDLY in emails and verbally asked them how much they would adjust the bill. The project manager kept evading and just saying he would "take it off the final bill," without specifying the amount. The final coup was a slight extra work order. We asked for a bid to do some minor touch up work on the newly replaced window, inside the house. Instead of giving us a bid, two workers showed up on a rainy day to work on the inside. My husband asked them how much it would cost-the workers said that the project manager knew, but he was not anywhere around and my husband was not the person in charge of the project on our side. The workers spent about 2 hours working on it, I provided some of the paint, but the bill came to $6,360. quoting 16 hours of labor. When I questioned it, and asked for the paint receipts the project manager, used highly manipulative language, and REFUSED to give me the receipts, stating that when you go to a restaurant you don't order a hamburger and ask for the grocery receipts for the ground beef, lettuce and tomato. That is when I called in the president. The adjusted bill was $1,300. and the painting receipts, which the president of the company showed me, came to $60. The president explained that the paint I had given them was old and dried up-but they could have told me that initially-lots of communication difficulties. After I had paid them, I noticed that a gate had been damaged and that large pieces of glass were scattered around my patio. The company president did not fire the project manager, although he protested that the way the project manager behaved was not part of a pattern-unfortunately I am not that easily manipulated, the proof was right there. There was just so much time wasted dealing with the poor communication. I had chosen a color for the porch paint in consultation with a "color consultation" for which I was charged, but somehow in the shuffle, when it came time to paint the porch, nobody had any idea and more time was lost. read more

Amazing group to work with! Cabinet replacement after water damage, and a perfectly matched to the rest of the kitchen. Sebastian was so easy to work with and meticulous with our cabinet. These guys should be a 10 out of 10 every day. Thanks again for all your help getting us back up and working. read more

Once again we had an extremely wonderful experience working with Phinney Ridge Painting (PRP). We have worked with PRP on several projects in the past (they do SO much more than just painting) and their communication, punctuality, level of expert craftsmanship, courtesy and even down to the way these pros cleaned up the area they worked on was top level all the way. Everyone we have come in contact with at PRP has been exceptional and I would highly recommended using this team of conscientious professionals! read more

I really can't say enough good things about the owner, Nik. He has so much passion for his trade, company and employees that it's truly inspiring. I met so many different painting/exterior companies before I met Nik and he completely blew away the competition with his level of knowledge as well as his honesty, integrity and likability. If you're considering painting your house, do yourself a favor and consider this company. I'm a much more informed homeowner and customer having met Nik and his company is the real deal. read more

We couldn't be happier with the job that Phinney RIdge did for our the exterior painting of our house. They were professional, thorough, and thoughtful all throughout the project. We really appreciated Alex, the project manager, Erica, the Paint team lead, the Carpentry team, and all the others who helped out. We were also impressed at the level of personal safety employed by all the workers. I'm sure most of it is mandatory, but it's obvious the company cares about its crews. Solid company. 10/10, recommended! read more

I bet these folks do great work and I would have loved to had the opportunity to actually review that. Unfortunately, my review is only for the subpar communication I received when trying to schedule an estimate for exterior painting for the 2021 season. I only leave a review because I carefully research businesses prior to even contacting them and choose to only invest my time in a select few. I like to know if I won't even be given the consideration of a reply and I'm sure others would like to know this information as well, so I'm happy to share my experience for the greater good. I contacted Phinney Ridge Painting on 2/16/21 and received a reply on 2/17 and was told that they are scheduling exterior estimates on a limited basis on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 10am-2pm. Those aren't the most convenient times because I also work but I responded and said I could do anytime between 10am-2pm on Tuesday in the next month if they just let me know what worked. I didn't hear back so I prompted them 2/19 and told them that I have a flexible schedule and could also make an appointment anytime in April too, just to let me know because I would like to have something on the calendar. No response from these folks so I concluded that they aren't interested in the job. TLDR, I think these folks seem to have plenty of business and aren't interested in yours. Edited to add: I contacted two other businesses (one on the same day and one a day later) both responded and scheduled estimates in the next 6 weeks, so it is possible to communicate with customers! Updating 2/25: After posting this review, I was immediately contacted via email and phone and was offered an appointment for an estimate. I was told that it's their busiest time shifting from interior to exterior and that they had made some changes to fit me in. I appreciate that, however, I really wish I didn't have to leave a Yelp review for that to happen. Updating 3/11: The owner, Nik, came out to do my estimate on 3/11. He's a very personable guy and was clearly very knowledgeable about his business. He took the time to explain his process and answered my questions. He got us a quote by the next day. Like other reviewers have mentioned, their quote was slightly higher than others that we've received. I have no complaints about the business after the initial contact. read more

Wow, fantastic customer service from Jason! I contacted Phinney Ridge to get a bid. I got an instant response and while they are extremely busy, instead of ghosting me like all the other contractors, they took the time to write me a genuinely nice message recommending other businesses I should try. read more

Excellent. They painted 6 rooms, stained the wood trim to match the existing trim tones (3 different stains) in our home. The quality of work was great, cleanliness was excellent, and the crew was polite. I will be a returning customer. read more

We are exceptionally pleased with recent work completed by Phinney Ridge following water damage in the ceiling and wall of our family room. The job required significant patching of wallboard, and the technical work done by Luis is flawless! Due to the open floor plan of our home it was necessary to repaint the entire ceiling and a less than flawless patch job would have been painfully obvious. This is the second time we have hired Phinney, and it won't be the last. Their work is extremely professional from the bidding process to the finished project. Care was taken to protect our belongings and cleanup was very thorough. Thank you Luis for a stellar job! read more

I am beyond thrilled with job Phinney Ridge Painting has done with our home! We contacted them late in the season 2019 and had Kelly out for a bid very quickly. He was very knowledgeable and explained their pricing and paint options, I felt very comfortable in the steps and plan. We have a 1942 home that needed outdoor painting. There were several other wear-and-tear issues that Phinney Ridge was able to address. While it was too late in the season to paint, we had our gutters repaired and some damaged flashing fixed before it rained. Once the weather got nicer, they were in close contact with us about getting started. We communicated primarily by email, and the entire team were always very quick to respond! Jason was our head painter, he was so great! The work is impeccable. He worked several weekends, and worked hard up until the pandemic stopped work. They were back right after the home construction could restart and weather allowed. Jason answered my questions, which may have been copious, and provided good advice when issues came up. They cleaned up after everyday and were only minimally disruptive (since we were working from home for much of the work, we have a dog so it's not really their fault). Having a "one-stop shop" for other services besides painting was also great. Several repair issues came up during the work that may have caused a work slowdown. Connor and his carpenters were out for bids on this new work and turned it around quickly! This included repairing a rotten support on our elevated garage and building a new gate. These projects look amazing and give me such piece of mind. I would not hesitate to recommend Phinney Ridge Painting. It was worth the wait. We paid on the higher end, but you get what you pay for! I have had experience with several different contractors, and this was the best experience by far. Now, as the weather gets nicer, I can sit back and relax, gazing on my beautifully painted home! read more

Over many years of home maintenance projects I have never encountered any firm or people with the high level of craftsmanship that is provided by Phinney Ridge Painting. The owner, Nik, and General Manager, Sam, were attentive to my project (exterior of a large house). Jason was our lead painter; he starts at perfection and goes up from there. Fast and meticulous with incredible attention to detail. I am very happy Phinney Ridge Painting gave our house a facelift! read more

Phinney Ridge Painting - Painters Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I would highly recommend this company. Super professional, clear communication, and excellent craftsmanship! Would hire again. So here is the play by play for those who love details. Cuz i alway do! I requested an estimation through their website. Sam one of the owners came over ( Beginning of June 2019). Our project was to get crown molding, framing and new paint for the interior of our 850ft condo. There were a few wonky things in our condo like popcorn ceiling, some uneven walls and strange angles. Sam had good ideas about how to work with these minor setbacks to make it look more polished and up to date. I also loved that they will pay for you to consult with a color specialist to find the right color for your space. This was a big deal for me because I was having a hard time narrowing down paint samples. I used The Phinery ( Becky Ducsik). Becky helped me find the perfect colors. So once we signed contracts. It took a couple of months to get on the books. At first they said it would be August but then got pushed to November. But honestly it was worth the wait. First was the carpentry work. The lead on that was Connor. He was awesome. He came over and did a walk through and helped us make decisions about the crown molding and framing and where it should go. This was so helpful because i had never picked out framing or molding before and he was a great listener and had wonderful suggestions. The carpentry was flawless and the clean up was spotless. I could not of been happier with the results. So onto the painting. Falco was the lead painter. Falco was so awesome!! I have had painters before but he was off the charts amazing! Such attention to detail and my walk through with him i could not find one drop of paint out of place. He has a great personality and wonderful communication. So that is the play by play. A great experience overall. You might have to wait a little bit because they stay pretty busy and they were not the cheapest bid i got. But they lived up to their reviews and i feel like i got my moneys worth. read more

Phinney Ridge Painting is a fantastic painting/carpentry group. Their crews (ranging from painters to carpenters to patchers) are professional, timely and courteous. Sam, the project manager is excellent with communicating and offers great solutions to issues which may arise. In terms of pricing, they are fair, not too expensive, not too cheap, but their work is top notch. I know that when PRP is doing a job with us that they won't be done until the customer is happy with the work. We plan on using them for future painting/remodeling work as needed. Scope of work: 1. New Kitchen Cabinet install with wood block. 2. Kitchen repaint. 3. Post wrapping. 4. Upstairs/downstairs painting. read more

Meh. Not really responsive. Obviously wasn't interested in my job. I wasn't impressed with their communication style and hired Queen Anne Painting instead. Queen Anne Painting is a fantastic company. Don't bother with Phinney Ridge Painting. In response to owner Nik, your partner Sam came to my house (on 16th Ave NW in North Ballard/Crown Hill)to give me a bid for patching a ton of drywall holes made by electricians as well as a quote for reinforcing a bedroom ceiling. My ceiling is sagging under the weight of a huge drywall patch on plaster. Ask Sam about this. He'll tell you he stood in my bedroom and pushed up on my ceiling. Then he told me the job was too much for his guys. Especially since I had rats presence in the insulation above the ceiling. It is a complex problem not unusual to 90 year old homes. Sam just didn't want to deal with it. Ask Sam and he should remember. Hi probably tell you he didn't want to deal with my job. I've got a copy of a bid from you in my files. You can try to delete this review but I'll just leave it again. read more

We got several estimates for a full exterior house and garage paint job and chose Phinney Ridge Painting for their honest feedback, reputation in the neighborhood, and competitive pricing. So glad I did! Roberto and Nelson did an amazing job!! The communication every step along the way from the initial walk through with Israel to the finished results was fantastic. They even offered several suggestions to improve the look of the paint job and trim that I hadn't even thought of, the finished exterior paint job looks even better than I had imagined. They were professional, detail oriented and did an excellent job. If any of my friends or neighbors are looking for good quality professional painters, I highly recommend the Phinney Ridge Painting team. read more

We had Phinney Ridge help with a full exterior paint job (siding, window trim, garage, porch). They were extremely professional and hardworking. Any questions or minor mistakes (can happen on a full house job) were quickly handled. Adrian was the lead painter and wow, talk about a hard worker. Always on time, worked hard all day, and was always flexible on changes and new requests. Israel was our project manager and ensured that everything was properly managed and our expectations were met. In short, I would use Phinney Ridge painting again. read more

I'm not posting a review of work done. Unfortunately I was not able to get as far as being able to choose them for work, because I was never even able to get a quote. I went back and forth with Phinney Ridge for over two weeks trying to schedule an estimate. I was never even able to respond enough to schedule them to come do a quote. We only communicated a few times back and forth during that time, because it would typically take 4-5 days for them to respond. I've heard good things about them, so I suspect that if you are able to get them on a job, they may do good work. However, in my experience, project communication is a very important part of this kind of work, and they perform miserably at that. read more

I really enjoyed working with the team at Phinney Ridge Painting. It's my second time hiring them! They worked within my schedule, cleaned up after their work, were cordial and hard working. They also listened to any concerns and helped along the way; just really great people. A shout out to Sam Bennett Cummings who is super professional and does his job in earnest. Also, Falco was my point person for the interior painting. He is GOOD! Great attention to detail, personable, always ready to help, and solve a problem!!! I don't typically write reviews so that should say something about this company!! :) read more

We've had Phinney Ridge replace deck railings, then staining railings and deck; painting front porch, railings, trellis; and installing holiday lights. We had a bunch of problems with weather so jobs took awhile to finish and some of the deck stain didn't take, but we were so impressed with the company's immediate inspection of the deck and then re-do the entire job at no cost since the stain was covered by warranty. Excellent communication with us even with all of the typical and unpredictable weather interruptions. We will definitely have them do any big painting jobs in the future. Thanks much for everything, Ryan. It's been great working with you. read more

We got a quote from Phinney in 2017, it was a lot, the most expensive quote we had. For a year i looked around and saw their work. Anywhere I saw their sign I would inspect and talk to the owners if I could. In 2018, we hired them for our 100yr old craftsman that had been neglected. It was worth the $$. They take their time, they do it right. It's nice to know there are still businesses out there that take pride in their craft.!! read more

Phinney Ridge came out and painted the outside of our home during the summer of 2020 and we were so pleased we had them come back this spring to paint a large shed that we had built late last year. Our painter was Sam Licio and he did a wonderful job despite the fact that we had a slightly offbeat paint scheme. He was professional, friendly and courteous. His workmanship was amongst the best we have experienced. He was thorough and paid great attention to detail. Phinney Ridge was able to fit us in much sooner than we expected so that was a nice bonus. While waiting for the shed to be painted they came and painted our kitchen, bathroom, and den. They also did some impressive drywall repair in two of the rooms! We will definitely use them again in the future. Thanks Phinney Ridge! read more

Our house hadn't been painted in a few decades. Some of the trim woodwork was looking pretty rough and we were even wondering if the whole exterior needed to be replaced. In comes Phinney Ridge. They were one of three painting company bids we requested. They were the middle bid and weren't inexpensive, but were also not the most expensive. We trusted the reviews and chose to invest in what we hoped would be a long-lasting great paint job. They delivered! We were so impressed by their team, in this case led by Israel. They worked quickly, efficiently and professionally. They paid due diligence to prepping. Can't say enough good stuff about our experience. I feel good every time I walk up to our house! Nice to be able to "see" the investment. read more

Phinney Ridge just finished painting most of the interior of our house, with several different colors (different rooms). They did a fantastic job. Great attention to detail. Prepped areas for painting very carefully. Protected the house very well. And worked steadily but not hurriedly. Their "allowance" for a paint consultant was also very helpful. Stanley, the lead, was cooperative, friendly and clearly wanted to do a great job. And he did. We will be using them again! read more

We have contracted with Phinney Ridge twice in the last two years for interior work and have been very impressed with the quality of the work and the price. Falco did a meticulous job for us both times. Always on time, always professional. read more

Phinney Ridge just finished painting the whole interior of our new home in Seattle. Communication with Sam, Sam, Israel and Luis was great every step of the way. We had some complicated demo, drywall and carpentry work as part of our job, and it was a relief to have all the work taken care of by the same company, without us having to contract drywallers, etc. Phinney Ridge is one of the best home improvement companies we have ever worked with. They were respectful of COVID protocol, which was important to us. The painting/drywall work they did for us is superb. We highly recommend them. Also, we chose them because they are a locally owned business right in our neighborhood. read more

After the long pandemic in the house we needed many things painted. Phinney Ridge has been our go to painting company for years and this time was no exception. Sam worked with us on a bid. Communication was terrific at all times. Falco arrived on time every morning and told us what he would be working on each day and where he would be when. He left everything in good shape each evening. He repaired water damage in the living and dining room ceilings and once painted they look perfect. He painted our kitchen cupboard and walls and they look great. I should have had the kitchen work done years ago. We are so pleased with all of his work. Once again, Phinney Ridge was excellent and we will call them the next time we need help with painting. read more

Phinney Ridge Painting painted my craftsman home this month. The administrative component of the firm was on top of all the details, and the actual painters were superb. Although the company is rather expensive, they are worth the extra cost. Above all, the lead painter, Jason Yim and his helper Roberto were the best part of the operation. I'm fairly demanding in my expectations of quality, but Jason's overview exceeded my expectations. read more
