About us
A family painting crew since 2009
Dan started Coatwell with one ladder and a borrowed van in Sellwood. Today eight painters cover the Portland metro area, and we still do every estimate in person.

Our story
Prep is the job. Paint is the finish.
Most paint jobs fail because of what happens before the first coat. We wash, scrape, sand, fill and prime until the surface is right, then lay two full coats. It takes longer, and it’s why our work still looks fresh years later.
We cover floors and furniture, keep the work area closed off, and leave the house cleaner than we found it. Every day.

“They kept everything we loved about our 1912 craftsman and fixed everything we didn’t. Two winters on, it still looks freshly painted.”
