Reviving Heritage: Masterful Restoration of Colfax's Steiger Family Farm by Chewelah Painting
“We are absolutely thrilled with the beautiful work that Mike Bellevue and the guys - Chris, Deon, Caleb, Stuart and Brandon at Chewelah Painting did for us. We had a very huge project - two large old barns, a three-bedroom home, and several outbuildings, all of which needed to be repaired, painted, and stained. We also live in a rural remote area and Mike had to haul in two Genie lifts and a water tank to get the job done. We never ever could have imagined how wonderful everything would turn out. It is fantastic! When we first spoke with Mike Bellevue over the phone, we were immediately impressed. Mike is an extremely smart and ethical businessman. We spent about 45 minutes talking to him about our ideas and project, and then we set up an in person meeting with him at our farm. For that meeting, we spent about 2 hours with Mike talking about and walking around the project site. Mike was punctual and very professional. He was also very enthusiastic and had great ideas on how best to tackle the project. Throughout our planning and project, Mike communicated very effectively via phone, email and text, and he promptly responded back to us if we had any questions. Mike really helped us with our unique color choices, too. He had large “color drawdowns” done by Sherwin Williams and sent them to us, so we knew exactly how the paint and stain would look on the barns and house. Mike also sent the color samples to us via FedEx, so we would have them the next day in order for us to finalize our choices, which was very helpful. Throughout the project, Mike and the guys were so pleasant, respectful, and easy to work with. Each and every day the guys arrived with smiles on their faces and at the end of each workday, they always cleaned up the worksite leaving everything spotless. While never rushing, the guys worked from sunrise to sunset to get everything completed in a timely fashion. In our opinion, they go above and beyond to strive for perfection every step of the way! They also had amazing pride in their work and really took their time making sure not to make any mistakes. They were meticulous, and they taped off areas with paper, plastic and tape. They were so detailed oriented and saw things and pointed out things that we never noticed. For example: The hardware on the barn was old and worn out, but Deon hand-painted the metal to make it really standout and “pop”! The guys always went the extra step to enhance the outcome of all of the painting projects, and everything looks truly amazing! When the job was all done and completed, we were really sad to say goodbye to them. They are such nice guys. We will definitely call on Mike and the guys at Chewelah in the future for any projects that we might have and would highly recommend them to everyone for any project big or small.

What the work looks like in Colfax

Colfax is on the Palouse, two and a quarter hours south, and the job that took the crews there is the best story on this site. The Steiger Family Heritage Farm: two large old barns, a three bedroom house and several outbuildings, every one of them over a century old, all needing repair, paint and stain.

It was remote enough that two Genie lifts and a water tank had to be hauled in before anyone could start. Sherwin-Williams ran large colour drawdowns and shipped them to the owners so they could see the actual paint and stain at size on the actual buildings before committing.

Heritage work is slow and it is detail work. On the Steiger job the crew hand-painted the old worn barn hardware so it stood out instead of disappearing under a coat. Nobody asked for that.
