Hello, neighbor
Welcome — I'm glad you stopped by.
I'm Denis Lunev, owner of Swamp Harrier Painting. I do the work myself, and I treat your home the way I'd want mine treated: careful prep, a clean worksite, and paint that's done right.
Take your time looking around. If you have a question, just send me a text — I'm happy to help, even if you're not ready to paint yet.
Why paint fails here
Peeling often starts before the first coat.
Moisture trapped under the film
Wet cedar and damp siding push paint off from behind. We wash surfaces and let them dry before painting.
Painting on the wrong day
Cool evenings and morning dew ruin fresh coats. We schedule exterior work by surface temperature and dew point.
The wrong product for the siding
Cedar, fiber cement and vinyl each need a different system. We match primer and topcoat to what your house is made of.

Questions homeowners ask
Are you registered with the State of Washington?
Yes. Swamp Harrier Painting LLC is a registered contractor with Washington L&I (#SWAMPHP744J9, UBI 606-210-711). You can look up our registration details on L&I's Verify a Contractor tool.
Can you paint outside in fall and winter?
Only on days when surface temperature and dew point allow it. Interior work runs all year, so winter is the best time to book rooms and cabinets.
Do you work on older homes?
At this time we only take on projects in homes built in 1978 or later. Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, and that work requires special lead-safe certification.
How do I get a price?
Text or email photos and your address, or use the form below. We follow up with a free on-site look and a written estimate. The final scope, price and any warranty are set out in that written estimate.
What paint do you use?
Premium coatings chosen for the surface and climate, such as Sherwin-Williams Emerald, Benjamin Moore Aura or Rodda SharkSkin. The products for your job are listed in your written estimate.
