Rethink the traditional cedar look.
PNW style is evolving, and deep charcoal is taking center stage. We’re seeing a massive shift toward these bold, modern tones for decks and pergolas across Auburn and the greater Puget Sound area. It’s a sophisticated, architectural look that creates a stunning contrast against our lush green landscapes.
At Auburn Valley Painting, we know a bold finish is only as good as the prep work beneath it. Our specialized wood preparation process is designed specifically for the unique challenges of our PNW climate. We ensure your stain penetrates deep and bonds perfectly, so it stands up to the rain and stays looking sharp for years to come.
We pride ourselves on more than just the final result. From start to finish, you’ll receive professional communication and daily updates. Andrew and the team are committed to delivering your project on time and on budget while treating your home with the respect it deserves.
