Why Blaine Homeowners Choose a Local Painter
From Marine Drive to the hills above Drayton Harbor, Blaine's salt air and border-town weather demand real prep and marine-grade coatings. Our wet Pacific Northwest weather is hard on paint, so every proposal starts with prep.
Salt air and marine moisture are tough on exterior coatings here, accelerating mildew and early failure on exposed walls.
Blaine has plenty of homes built before 1978, where old coatings need careful, lead-safe prep. As an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm, our crews handle scraping and sanding on older siding the safe, legal way — and we schedule every exterior around real Whatcom County weather windows.

What Our Customers Say About Us
"Hilltop Painting did a fantastic job painting my house. They were professional and detail oriented. I would recommend them to anyone. I’ll be using them again in the future!"
"I was so happy with the results of hilltop's work and the painter, Carlos, was great. They treated me very good. I'm a 74 year old woman who gets a lot of prejudice because of my age and with hilltop that never took place."
"We had a fantastic experience with Hilltop Painting. The crew was very professional, thorough, and they did an excellent job. We felt like we were in good hands every step of the way. They completely transformed the exterior of our home, and the results are beautiful."

Painting Homes in Blaine
Coastal homes near Blaine Harbor and Drayton Harbor take salt exposure head-on — finishes here need marine-grade prep and premium coatings to last.
Between the border, the harbor, and the salt air, Blaine homes weather differently than anywhere else in the county — and the difference between a 4-year and a 10-year exterior here is entirely in the prep.
Canneries, Mills, and the Peace Arch: A Short History of Blaine
Drayton Harbor was Semiahmoo country, and the Semiahmoo people are part of the ancestry of today's Lummi Nation. Settlers came in the mid 1800s to log, fish, and outfit prospectors heading north to the Fraser gold fields.
The Alaska Packers Association built a cannery on Semiahmoo Spit in 1880, on the site of a village it had cleared, and for decades ran the largest salmon cannery in the world there. Blaine incorporated on May 20, 1890 and took its name from James G. Blaine, the Maine senator and 1884 presidential candidate. The Cain brothers built the biggest store north of Seattle, a shingle mill, a hotel, and the first public wharf, and Blaine lumber helped rebuild San Francisco after the 1906 fire.
The Peace Arch went up on the border in 1921, and the fishing fleet kept the harbor busy into the 1970s, with hundreds of purse seiners and gillnetters working north to Alaska. Today the two marinas hold sailboats and yachts, the old cannery site is a resort, and downtown keeps its turn-of-the-century look on purpose.
For a painter, Blaine is a coastal job first. Salt air off Drayton Harbor and the bay means wash, mildew treatment, primer on bare wood, and marine-rated coatings, whether the house is a 1910 cannery-era home on the hill or a new build above the harbor. Older homes get lead-safe prep on top of that.
