Protecting and beautifying homes near the Oakbrook Golf Club. From precise cabinet refinishing to complete exterior transformations, we are 98498's trusted painting experts.
Oakbrook is one of Lakewood's most desirable and established communities. Known for the beautiful Oakbrook Golf Club, expansive lots, and incredible mature trees, living here provides a perfect suburban escape. However, the heavy tree canopy and Pacific Northwest rainfall bring unique challenges to your home's exterior and interior surfaces.
At Coles Painting, we understand the specific needs of the 98498 zip code. Whether you live in a sprawling mid-century rambler near the greens or a modernized home closer to Steilacoom Lake, our technicians have the expertise to protect your investment with high-quality, durable paints designed for this environment.
The 98498 zip code features a beautiful mix of established architectural styles. Treating these homes correctly requires highly specific preparation and painting approaches. Here is how we handle the most common homes in the area:
Common throughout the original golf course developments, featuring low-pitched roofs, large brick fireplaces, and extensive wood paneling.
Our Approach:
We specialize in brick limewashing to modernize massive, dated fireplaces. We also utilize heavy-duty stain-blocking primers to permanently cover outdated wood paneling and trim without tannin bleed-through, instantly modernizing the space.
Newer constructions set back into the wooded lots, often utilizing mixed siding materials like cedar accents paired with Hardieplank.
Our Approach:
We expertly manage transition lines between different siding textures. We apply high-end penetrating oils to preserve the natural cedar while using highly durable elastomeric acrylics on the fiber cement board to prevent cracking.
Living surrounded by the beautiful, mature Douglas Firs and Cedars of Oakbrook is idyllic, but it creates a challenging micro-climate for your siding and roof. The dense shade prevents moisture from evaporating quickly after a rainstorm.
This constant dampness, combined with falling tree sap and pine needles, creates an ideal breeding ground for green algae, moss, and mildew that quickly degrades standard exterior paint.
"We live right off the 6th hole at Oakbrook and our exterior siding was covered in green algae from the trees. Coles Painting came out, completely washed the house, repaired some old woodpecker damage, and gave us a beautiful new exterior. They also repainted our kitchen cabinets! Highly professional and very clean."
— Mark & Diane S., Oakbrook Residents
Painting a house under a heavy tree canopy is incredibly difficult. If you don't use the correct commercial-grade cleaning solutions to kill unseen mold spores before painting, the new paint will begin to bubble and peel within a year. Indoors, relying on standard blue tape often allows paint to seep onto luxury vinyl or hardwoods. Let our professionals handle the heavy lifting.

Yes. Homes near the Oakbrook Golf Club frequently experience minor siding damage from errant balls, and wooded lots attract woodpeckers. We expertly patch, fill, and repair damaged cedar or fiber cement siding before applying exterior paint to ensure a seamless finish.
Mature trees create deep shade, which leads to mildew and algae growth on your exterior siding and decks. We combat this by using potent mildewcides mixed directly into our high-quality paint, and we perform rigorous power washing to ensure a completely clean surface prior to application.
Absolutely. Many older homes in the Lakewood area feature dark wood paneling in the living rooms or basements. We use heavy-duty, stain-blocking primers to completely seal the wood and prevent tannin bleed-through, followed by premium topcoats to brighten and modernize the room.
