Painting Hauser Lake.
Hauser Lake sits a few miles west of Post Falls right up against the Washington state line. It's a smaller, quieter alternative to Lake CDA — mostly seasonal cabins and year-round homes around the lake's roughly 4-mile perimeter, with rural-route properties stretching out across the surrounding Kootenai County prairie.
Cabin owners call us for the every-three-year deck stain that lake weather demands, plus the occasional full exterior on a year-round house that's been on the same paint since the 90s. Hauser humidity drives the same mildew problems as the bigger lakes — north-facing cabin walls and shaded decks need extra prep.
What we see on Hauser Lake homes.
Common home styles
1970s-2010s lake cabins (seasonal and year-round), contemporary lakefront customs, rural-route farmhouses on Kootenai County prairie lots, and a smaller stock of pre-war homes.
Popular projects
Cabin exterior repaints with marine-grade systems on lake-facing walls, deck staining (the most common call from Hauser cabin owners), interior repaints for year-round homes, and rural-route house exteriors that haven't been touched in 20+ years.
Climate & prep considerations
Hauser Lake humidity drives the same mildew problems as the bigger lakes — north-facing cabin walls and shaded decks need extra prep. We push for the June-through-September dry window for everything exterior here.
