The Craftsman Behind Tera Painting
Meet Matt Houghton
Matt Houghton has been around paint and brushes for most of his adult life. His experience in painting goes back to his college years, long before he ever thought of running a company. After years of work in the trade, Matt purchased Tera Painting in 2019 from his brother, who had built the business from the ground up starting in 2012.
Matt took what was already a solid operation and put his own values into it: show up when you say you will, do the work right the first time, and communicate clearly with every customer.
Today, Tera Painting serves homeowners and businesses across Seattle. Matt leads a team with 50 years of combined experience and a track record of more than 1,200 completed projects.
