Capitol Hill

Est. Homes 1890s–1930s Styles 7 Architectural Types

Capitol Hill is one of Seattle's most architecturally diverse neighborhoods, with a rich fabric of Victorian mansions, early-1900s apartment buildings, stately Craftsman homes, and elegant brick Tudors — many dating to the neighborhood's golden age of development between 1890 and 1930. Fridenmaker Painting has deep experience working on Capitol Hill's historic properties, where meticulous surface preparation, lead-safe work practices, and an understanding of period-appropriate color palettes are essential. From ornate Victorian trim details to the warm wood tones of a Craftsman interior, our fourth-generation team brings the skill and patience these landmark homes demand.
