Montlake

Est. Homes 1910s–1940s Styles 6 Architectural Types

Tucked between the Washington Park Arboretum and the Montlake Cut, this intimate neighborhood is a showcase of early-20th-century residential architecture at its finest. Montlake's leafy streets are lined with beautifully maintained Tudor, Colonial, and Craftsman homes — many lovingly updated over the decades while preserving their original character. Fridenmaker Painting is a natural fit for Montlake homeowners who value craftsmanship and attention to detail. Our team excels at the kind of precise, patient work these historic homes require: from refreshing decorative half-timbering on a 1920s Tudor to applying specialty finishes inside a fully renovated Craftsman.
