Wallingford
Wallingford is a beloved Seattle neighborhood known for its strong community feel, walkable commercial streets, and one of the city's finest collections of Craftsman homes. Built primarily during the 1910s–1930s building boom, Wallingford's bungalows and foursquares feature the hallmark details that define Pacific Northwest Craftsman style: wide front porches, tapered columns, exposed rafter tails, and rich wood interiors. Fridenmaker Painting's deep experience with Craftsman-era homes makes us a natural choice for Wallingford homeowners. We understand how to properly prepare and paint these century-old surfaces — including lead-safe work, wood repair, and historically informed color selection — to protect and enhance these cherished homes for another generation.
