I highly recommend Fridenmaker Painting. I’ve used them for multiple projects and I will continue to have them back in the future. They give accurate estimates and work efficiently. They are flexible to work which is important to me since I work from home and meetings while they are working. They were able to accommodate my meeting schedules. They are also are incredibly precise. They will do whatever it takes to make it perfect.

Taylor repainted the full exterior of our house, which included wood siding, stucco, metal railing, and a clear coat on the soffit. The prep-work was meticulous with pressure washing, surface prep, repairs as needed, and recaulking windows. The condition of our old surface wasn’t terrible, but there were multiple areas that were peeling/cracking/rotting that Taylor took care of. Different faces of the house were done at different times of day so no painting happened in direct sunlight. There is no bubbling or other surface defects anywhere around the house. Painting was done beautifully using SW Duration and Emerald. Applied evenly and smoothly with a subtle horizontal sheen that catches the sun just right. Highly attentive to detail, and even painted a french drain and wooden patio step. Really couldn’t ask for a better experience. Communication was spot-on; the work was explained transparently and in detail. The house looks fantastic afterwords, the quote was fair/competitive (compared to 3x other companies we asked), and the quality is amazing based on the details. We will definitely be recommending Fridenmaker painting in the future.

Taylor was fantastic to work with. He is friendly and easy to deal with. He is also very detailed orientated. His work was thorough and he took his time to make sure the job was done correctly the first time. I had the exterior of my house painted and Taylor pressure washed, replaced boards as needed, sanded, and painted. He also cleaned up completely when the job was done. I was also happy to be able to use a local small business. I would not hesitate to use Fridenmaker again in the future.

I had the honor and privilege of working with the owner of this company, Taylor. At first I thought he was too young but was quickly proven wrong. He has painting running through his DNA starting back with his grandfather. His youth is his advantage. He can work rigorously making sure deadlines are met. Not only that he has a passion for getting things done right. Often he’d remind me not to rush through something and explain how the clients happiness comes above all else. He not only is a talented craftsman but has a huge heart and cares for others. Having worked for many painting companies in the greater Seattle area I can tell you this company is stands higher than my Rainier above the rest… Do yourself and your home a favor and look no further.

Fridenmaker Score breakdown. Service +1. Talked us through stain options (pro/con), got the job done on time, ensured we were happy before completing the work. Communication +1. Provided updates without the need to be contacted, answered questions immediately. Price +1. After the initial bid, they ended up lowering it. Your experience may vary. Materials +1. Used professional grain semi-solid stains, and the finished product reflects this. Warranty +1. Have assured us that if we find something out of place, they will come back. Background: Having recently purchased a new cedar fence, as part of a pet adoption build-out, we reached out to many exterior painters. Having spoken with a handful of exterior painters, willing to provide a loose quote, Fridenmaker was the most available and affordable. On the initial visit, they reviewed the site, asked a few questions, and gave us an estimate within around 15 minutes. Delivered in a professional stock folder and presented on professional stock paper, the bid included tax and a deposit. From there, they gave us staining options, including advice on which stains would make sense. Finally, they took the time to explain the expectations regarding longevity of the workmanship. After mutually agreeing, we set a date, which was the following week. The next week, we received an email and a text notice of a pending arrival. Because of a technical issue, the intended date was off by one day, but the associate apologized for the mistake and assured us they would be out the following day. The next day, they arrived around early, with materials in hand, and proceeded to work. Approximately a few hours in, I was asked to review the initial work, and was also explained the process regarding how the different textured wood would be treated. They completed their initial day by 5 pm. Following this, they informed me they would be delayed because of an employee emergency but would still arrive late and continue the work as promised. Nearly two days into the job, they let me review the gates and the nearly complete fence, making sure the work was what I had in mind. The final day, they arrived, assuring us they would complete the work on the fence and would be done in less than a few hours. Finally, approximately 3 hours later, they asked us to perform a walkthrough and afterward we wrote them a check for the work. Overall, we are satisfied with the work they performed. However, with the upcoming forecast for rain and winds, along with another temperate snowfall, time will tell if the workmanship will hold up. As always, your experience may vary.

We hired Fridenmaker Painting to paint our kitchen cabinets, drill holes & install new cabinet hardware (which included measuring for 3 different sized pieces, and filling in previous hardware holes), as well as painting an interior bedroom. Communication was wonderful from the start – Taylor was passionate about the project and I got a great feeling that he would really get it right. It’s risky painting your entire kitchen sage green! They were straightforward about projected timeline & pricing, which was wonderful. Once we got started, there were a few bumps in the road but Taylor & David handled those challenges professionally and always communicated. It says a lot about a company when there are challenges to be had, and how they handle them. A+ for problem solving and client satisfaction. Everything turned out beautifully and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Fridenmaker Painting to friends & family, or hire them in the future. Thanks Taylor, David & team!

Working with Taylor and the crew was a joy. They were on time, and the house looks amazing. The best paint job I’ve ever had for as long as I’ve lived here. David, the project manager took the time to explain what they were doing and how they were going to perform the work. Even when we ran into expected speed bumps, weather, and Covid related supply issues, Taylor kept in close contact and let me know the status. I recommend them and would hire them again.

Fridenmaker painting provided both drywall repair and paint as part of restoration after water damage. Every detail of the process was well documented in a project folder which kept every member of the team on the same page. Not only was each person professional with excellent communication, but the final product was top notch. I highly recommend Fridenmaker Painting and will call them again for any painting needs!
