What Paint stripping service Covers
Paint stripping service is a surface preparation service that removes old paint before refinishing or recoating.

About
What paint stripping changes before refinishing
Paint stripping removes old coatings that interfere with a new finish. The work may involve painted wood, trim, millwork, doors, cabinets, or other surfaces that need careful review before preparation. We start by looking at the coating and the material beneath it. Surface condition, paint buildup, repairs, and the planned finish all affect the work. We protect the surrounding area before removal begins, then prepare the exposed surface for the next stage. Our preference is to settle the stripping scope before work starts. That keeps the agreement clear and helps you understand which repairs or additional preparation belong with the removal work.

We had been putting off painting our house because there is never a great time to do so. After we decided to do it, we got 6 bids, some where very low, with low grade products, other very high with outrageous considerations, Jeff and his team came dead in the middle with amazing notes from the first visit, careful workmanship and with top of the line quality product. Scheduling was a breeze with Lorena make it so easy for us even with a busy schedule during the summer. The best experience we've had, we basically did not notice the team was working. They arrived every day super early, left the area pristine, and delivered a great quality outcome in the entire exterior job. We are super happy with the pain, the look and all the recommendation and fixes the team did. We will definitely work with 365Painting Solutions for all of our future painting needs. Thank you for making this experience simple and painless.

These guys did an awesome job! They have a well trained team that works closely together to get the job done on time and on budget. They also did a number of other repairs on the interior and exterior ( removed dry rot, repair drywall, etc.) before they could even start the painting. I would highly recommend them!
Questions about removing old paint
Who provides paint stripping service in Issaquah?
Thomas J. Painting provides paint stripping service in Issaquah for residential and commercial properties. We review the existing finish, surface material, and planned next coating before setting the work scope. Our process includes property protection, surface preparation, cleanup, and a final walkthrough. A free consultation and in-home meeting starts the planning process.
Is sanding or stripping better for painted wood?
Stripping is useful when several paint layers or loose coatings need removal before refinishing. Sanding can address surface smoothness, but it doesn't define the full removal scope by itself. We inspect the wood, review the existing finish, and explain which preparation steps fit the planned result. The surface condition decides the practical approach.
What changes the cost of stripping paint from a door?
Door size, paint buildup, surface detail, repairs, and the planned finish affect the work scope. A door with grooves or layered coatings needs a different review than a flat surface. We inspect the door during the consultation and provide a clearly scoped estimate before work begins. The estimate reflects the agreed surfaces and preparation.
What does the estimate include for old finish removal?
The estimate identifies the surfaces included, the removal scope, preparation needs, and related work discussed for the project. It also helps separate paint stripping from carpentry or refinishing tasks.
- We review the existing finish.
- We identify protection and cleanup needs.
- We explain the planned next coating.
Our direct communication continues through scheduling, preparation, painting, and completion.
How do you protect floors during paint stripping?
Floor paper, plastic, or carpet coverings protect nearby floors and work areas during removal. We choose protection based on the room and the surfaces near the work. We also manage cleanup before the final walkthrough. Property protection is part of the preparation plan, not a detail left until the end.
Can old paint be removed before cabinet or carpentry work?
Yes, old paint can be removed before related carpentry, cabinet work, or refinishing when the surface and project scope support it. We review the material and the repair needs first. Our services include cabinet painting and refacing, related carpentry work, and surface preparation. The agreement identifies which tasks belong in the project.
What should I send before requesting a stripping estimate?
Photos of the painted surface, its location, visible peeling, and nearby access points help us understand the request. An in-home meeting remains important because photos cannot show every layer or surface condition. We use the consultation to discuss your goals and prepare a clearly scoped estimate for the agreed work.

Scenarios
When Customers Call Us About Paint stripping service
1
Peeling Trim Before Repainting
Peeling trim can leave loose edges beneath a new coat, and those edges often remain visible after repainting. The material below also needs review because stripping may expose repairs or damage. We can inspect the trim, discuss the intended finish, and define the removal work during a free consultation before the project begins.
2
Old Finish On Detailed Millwork
Detailed millwork needs careful planning because paint can sit in grooves, corners, and narrow edges. The removal scope should match the material and the finish you want afterward. We review the millwork in the home, protect nearby floors and surfaces, and explain the preparation needed before refinishing.
3
Business Space During A Refresh
A business property may need old coatings removed before new paint or finish work starts. Access, protected surfaces, and the order of work matter when staff or customers use nearby areas. We review the affected rooms or fixtures, define the work in the agreement, and plan cleanup around the property’s needs.
Our Other Services
Cabinet PaintingOutdated cabinets can make a kitchen feel tired, even when the layout works well. We prepare doors, drawer fronts, and cabinet boxes with degreasing, sanding, and bonding primer before applying a smooth finish.
Cool Roof Coating ApplicationA weathered roof surface may need renewed protection without immediate replacement. We prepare compatible roofing materials and apply elastomeric cool roof coating evenly across the surface, producing a sealed, reflective finish.
CarpenterHomeowners with damaged trim or door casings need more than a color change. We repair baseboards, window trim, and interior woodwork before priming and painting, leaving clean lines and sound surfaces throughout the property.
ContractorA well-managed painting project keeps repairs, preparation, and cleanup from becoming your problem. We coordinate the agreement, protect floors with paper or plastic, and finish with a walkthrough led by the paint crew.
Deck builderA worn deck can make outdoor space feel unsafe and unfinished. We build or repair deck boards, railings, and stair stringers, creating a solid structure ready for paint or stain.
Interior House PaintingFresh interior color can change how a room feels every day. We prepare walls, doors, and millwork with careful masking, surface repairs, and primer before applying an even finish that suits your home.
