About Us
Thank you for investing time to learn more about Absolute Painting & Power Washing. In 1995 I had just graduated with a degree in Finance Law from Portland State University. I had spent most of my college years painting apartments and rental homes for various companies in the Portland area. After landing a job at a large corporation that summer I quickly realized that working in a cubicle was not my lifelong dream.
In November of 1995 I started Absolute Painting & Power Washing which serves the house painting needs of the Beaverton, Hillsboro, and greater Portland metro area. My goal was to provide honest hard work along with attentive personal service that exceeded customer expectations. My customers started to tell their friends and family about us and I could no longer keep up with demand. In 1997 my mom decided to quit her job as a hair stylist and become a full time painter. Lucky for me, she is still working hard and helping to run the company.
By consistently delivering quality results every time and always making sure our customers are happy, we have grown to almost 20 employees. Not only do we offer the highest quality Portland house painting jobs but we now offer all types of construction services and interior design. Our goal is to provide the best overall value and to be the company you trust when you need any type of work done at your Portland, Beaverton or Hillsboro home.
We continue to improve our business and our services every year by continually asking our customers how we are doing. Thank you very much for all of your support over the past 15 years and we look forward to working with you in the future!

Customer Tip:
"In this challenging market it is more important than ever to be able to relax at home and enjoy your space. This can be as simple as new paint on the walls. People underestimate the value in a gallon of paint, this relatively inexpensive upgrade will change the feeling of your whole house. Selecting the right color however is the tricky part, warming up the walls will showcase your furniture and wall décor but be careful of going to bright." -Beth Girgen Hall
