How long does exterior paint last in Chicago weather?

Quality exterior paint applied properly should last 7-10 years in Chicago’s climate. The key factors are surface preparation, paint quality, and proper application technique. Cheap paint jobs often fail within 2-3 years because corners were cut during prep work or inferior materials were used. We use premium paint systems specifically formulated to handle freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and moisture – the three biggest threats to exterior paint in Chicago.

What's the best time of year for exterior painting in Chicago?

Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for exterior painting in Chicago. We typically schedule projects from May through October when temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees and humidity levels are manageable. Paint needs proper curing time, which requires stable temperatures and low moisture. We avoid painting during Chicago’s unpredictable spring weather or when winter temperatures make proper adhesion impossible. Scheduling early in the season ensures your project gets completed before weather becomes a factor.

How do you prepare surfaces before painting?

Surface preparation is critical for paint longevity in Chicago’s harsh climate. We start with power washing to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint. Next, we scrape and sand any remaining loose or peeling areas. All bare wood gets primed with high-quality primer designed for exterior use. We caulk gaps and fill holes to prevent moisture infiltration. Only after surfaces are completely clean, smooth, and properly primed do we apply the finish coats. This preparation work takes time but ensures your paint job lasts.

Do you provide estimates and how detailed are they?

Yes, we provide detailed written estimates for every exterior painting project. Our estimates include specific paint products, surface preparation requirements, labor costs, and project timeline. We break down pricing by area so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. The estimate also includes warranty information and any additional services like minor carpentry repairs. We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden costs or surprise charges. You’ll know the total investment upfront before any work begins.

What type of paint do you use for Chicago exteriors?

We use premium exterior paints from trusted manufacturers like Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. These paints are specifically formulated to handle Chicago’s temperature extremes, UV exposure, and moisture challenges. We typically recommend 100% acrylic latex paints for most siding materials because they expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking. For trim and detailed work, we often use alkyd or hybrid paints that provide superior durability and smooth finish. Paint selection depends on your home’s specific materials and exposure conditions.
