Protecting and restoring the architectural heritage of Seattle's most exclusive lakeside community. From grand waterfront estates on Lake Washington to classic homes in Broadmoor, we are 98112's trusted experts.
Nestled against the beautiful shores of Lake Washington and home to the exclusive Broadmoor Golf Club, Madison Park is one of Seattle's most prestigious and sought-after neighborhoods. With its charming, walkable commercial district, stunning waterfront views, and close proximity to the Washington Park Arboretum, this area demands a caliber of home maintenance that only true professionals can provide.
At Coles Painting, we understand that working on a luxury home in the 98112 zip code requires an elevated level of service. Whether you are navigating strict HOA requirements in a historic Broadmoor estate or applying marine-grade exterior paints to combat the lakeside weather on a custom modern build, our technicians have the expertise to protect your property flawlessly.
The architectural landscape of Madison Park features everything from historic early 20th-century builds to sweeping modern waterfront estates. Treating these homes correctly requires specialized knowledge of high-end materials:
Classic early-to-mid 20th-century homes featuring brick accents, historic stucco, complex trims, and strict HOA covenants.
Our Approach:
We carefully repair historic stucco cracks using elastomeric sealants. Inside, we adhere to Lead-Safe practices, use stain-blocking oil primers to prevent tannin bleed from antique woodwork, and apply premium self-leveling enamels. We handle all HOA color matching.
Striking modern rebuilds and classic estates situated directly on Lake Washington, utilizing large glass facades and facing intense morning sun.
Our Approach:
Intense natural light reflecting off the lake exposes every interior wall imperfection. We use Level 5 drywall finishing and ultra-flat, glare-reducing premium acrylics. Externally, we apply highly durable elastomeric coatings to protect against wind-driven lake moisture.
Living in Madison Park directly exposes your home to the coastal effects of Lake Washington. Homes near the waterfront endure heavy morning fog, high ambient moisture, and continuous winds.
Furthermore, east-facing homes receive intense morning UV exposure as the sun reflects off the water. This combination creates the perfect environment for exterior paint failure, wood rot on older windows, and aggressive algae growth on siding and decks.
"We own a historic home in Broadmoor. We needed the exterior repainted to meet HOA standards and wanted to update our kitchen cabinets inside. Coles Painting was incredibly professional. They handled all the HOA color matching, masked our original hardwood floors perfectly, and the results are absolutely flawless. Their white-glove service is worth every penny."
— Michael & Susan T., Madison Park Residents
Painting a luxury home is not a weekend project. Attempting to navigate 20-foot vaulted ceilings or complex staircases without professional scaffolding is incredibly dangerous. Furthermore, sanding historic woodwork without Lead-Safe containment puts your family at risk, and using standard blue tape often ruins imported tile or custom hardwood floors. Let our professionals handle the demanding prep work safely.
When hiring a contractor to enter your upscale Seattle home, trust and accountability are everything. Here is how our professional crew compares to the average "guy with a brush."
