The Right Finish for Every Room
Steamy bathrooms and busy hallways need different paint than a bedroom ceiling. Pick a room — the product, sheen, and prep change with it.
Living & Family Rooms
The rooms everyone sees — and touches. Washable matte and eggshell finishes hide wall imperfections while surviving fingerprints, furniture scuffs, and movie-night spills.

Paints That Handle Our Damp Climate
Interior paint in Birch Bay has to survive direct salt spray off Birch Bay working its way indoors. We put mildew-resistant enamels in the damp rooms and washable, burnish-resistant finishes in the busy ones.
Low- and zero-VOC everywhere is standard practice, which is why our clients stay home while we paint.
Older Walls Deserve Real Prep
Beach cottages and vacation rentals along the bay set the prep bar around Birch Bay. We fill cracks, skim-coat damage, sand smooth, and prime before any color goes on — walls telegraph every shortcut.
On pre-1978 homes our prep follows EPA lead-safe practice — we're a certified firm.
Winter Is Interior Season
October through April is interior season in Birch Bay: the exterior calendar is quiet and interior dates are easy to get.
A whole home typically takes 3–5 days, worked one set of rooms at a time so the house keeps functioning.

What Our Customers Say
"Hilltop Painters did a great job taking care of my house interior. They left with everything cleaned and carried away! The painters were friendly and courteous!"
"We had Hilltop paint the interior of our rental house. … There were some bold colors that needed painted over, and repairs that needed to be made in the ceiling. It also has high vaulted ceilings and skylights. Hilltop did a professional job."
"Hilltop and Andres team was top notch. They were professional, efficient and walked us through the process day by day. We had eight different colors in the interior of our home and they transformed it within a week and had a quick quote to finish turn around. Highly recommend and will be going back to them for our exterior."

From Say-wak to Summer Cottages: A Short History of Birch Bay
The people who lived here first called the place Say-wak, meaning people saved from a flood by building a raft. One of the largest archaeological sites in the area sits inside Birch Bay State Park.
Spanish ships out of Mexico charted the bay in 1791 and called it Puerto del Garzon. A year later George Vancouver's expedition anchored here for several days, and the botanist Archibald Menzies renamed it Birch Bay for the birch trees along the shore.
For most of the 1900s Birch Bay was a summer place of cottages and cabins. The 2000s brought condominiums and vacation homes for buyers on both sides of the border, and the population roughly doubled between 2000 and 2020, to 10,115. That makes it bigger than every city in the county except three, which is why incorporation keeps coming up.
Inside, vacation rentals and cottages need durable, scuff-proof finishes and fast turnarounds between guests. The newer homes mostly want clean lines and a washable eggshell that survives beach sand.
