Jeff Amsberry was a school teacher who painted houses in the summer months. He came up with a system of exterior painting that made the preparation work about having clean surfaces. It was an idea beyond pressure washing. As a teacher would Jeff had actually read the labels on the paint cans he bought that say to have a clean, dry, surface before you paint.
This expanded the Amsberry Painting services into cleaning exteriors as well as painting. It is now about 25% of the company business, and can be done all year long. A thorough gentle cleaning can prolong the paint job you have on your home for many years. It also freshens the look of the home. Because this is best done in the winter months Jeff chose to stick with painting. It was a hard choice to make.
After 30 years the quality of the work has improved dramatically. The system for delivering high quality work is much more defined. The common sense approach makes for a much better job. It’s well worth your time to take a bid from Amsberry Painting to compare to those companies that are advertised as higher end.

About David Losh
In 1984 I got my Real Estate license and worked in a small company called Advance Properties. The owner was extremely interested in Real Estate, building, and land development. Most of his work was concentrated North of Seattle. Since the 1970s I had worked for Real Estate agents in Seattle as a contractor, mostly preparing properties for rent, and sale.
After a few years my skill level increased considerably concerning land use, building code, and development practices. Escrow, and lending offices were housed at the Advance Properties building so it was easy to get involved in all aspects of Real Estate. It was very much a family owned, and operated business.
Over the years my Real Estate license has been at a variety of Real Estate companies, and offices. Nothing compares to those early years, or that sense of family. Real Estate has gotten to be corporate owned.
My hope with this blog is to share with you some of the things I've learned. If you have Real Estate needs, or want contractor help, I refer freely to what best suits you. If you should choose to work with me you'll find a great resource.
My Real Estate license is at Skyline Properties in Northgate. Skyline is a locally owned company that is a desk fee office. There is a wide variety of diverse agents. It helps me with some of the other projects that I have, and mentoring that I do, to be able to work with people from other cultures.
Here in Seattle we are close to Vancouver BC and are the gateway to China. Boeing has a great trade relationship with China, as does Microsoft have with all of Asia. We are a culturally diverse community, and it helps me to be invlolved.
