Exterior Painting Process Elk Grove

Here's How Your Painting Project Actually Works

First, you get a detailed assessment of your home’s exterior surfaces. This includes checking for any repairs needed before paint goes on, because painting over problems just hides them temporarily.

Next comes surface preparation. This means pressure washing, scraping loose paint, sanding rough spots, and priming bare wood or metal. It’s the step that determines whether your paint job lasts two years or ten.

Then the actual painting happens. Two coats minimum, with attention to detail around trim, windows, and doors. We protect your landscaping and clean up daily. You get updates on progress and a final walkthrough to make sure everything meets your expectations.

What's Included in Your Exterior Paint Job

You get complete surface preparation, which is where most painting projects succeed or fail. This includes power washing, scraping, sanding, and spot priming. Any minor repairs to siding or trim get handled before paint goes on.

The paint itself comes from professional-grade lines designed for exterior use in climates like ours. These aren’t the same products you’ll find at big box stores. They’re formulated to handle temperature swings, UV exposure, and moisture that comes with Illinois seasons.

Color consultation is part of our service. Choosing exterior colors that work with your home’s architecture and neighborhood isn’t guesswork. You get guidance on what works and what doesn’t, plus samples you can see on your actual siding before making final decisions.

Most single-family homes in Elk Grove take 3-5 days to complete, depending on size and condition. Weather plays a role since exterior paint needs proper conditions to cure. The timeline includes surface prep, which usually takes a full day, followed by primer and two finish coats. Larger homes or those needing extensive prep work may take longer. You’ll get a realistic timeline upfront, and we’ll keep you updated if weather or unexpected issues affect the schedule.
High-quality acrylic latex paints perform best in our climate. They expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking, resist fading from UV exposure, and handle moisture better than oil-based alternatives. Brands like Sherwin Williams Duration or Benjamin Moore Aura are specifically formulated for exterior durability. The key is matching the paint system to your siding material – what works on wood may not be ideal for fiber cement or vinyl. We’ll recommend the right products for your specific situation.
Exterior painting costs vary based on home size, condition, and paint quality, but most Elk Grove homes range from $8,000 to $15,000 for complete exterior painting. Factors affecting price include surface preparation needed, number of colors, trim complexity, and paint grade selected. Two-story homes cost more due to additional equipment and safety requirements. You’ll get a detailed written estimate breaking down all costs, so there are no surprises. Investing in quality paint and proper application saves money long-term by extending time between repaints.
Yes, proper surface preparation is included in every exterior painting project. This includes pressure washing, scraping loose paint, sanding rough areas, and spot priming. Minor repairs like filling nail holes, caulking gaps, or replacing small sections of damaged trim are handled as part of the prep work. Larger repairs are discussed separately. Skipping prep work is the main reason paint jobs fail early, so we don’t cut corners here. Your surfaces get properly prepared regardless of how long it takes.
We provide a comprehensive warranty covering both materials and workmanship. Paint manufacturer warranties typically cover 15-25 years against premature failure, while our labor warranty covers application issues for 3 years. This means if paint peels, cracks, or fails due to application problems within the warranty period, we’ll fix it at no charge. Normal wear from extreme weather events or physical damage isn’t covered, but quality paint properly applied should last 10-15 years in our climate.
Absolutely. Color consultation is part of our service because choosing the wrong colors is expensive to fix later. We’ll discuss colors that complement your home’s architecture, fit your neighborhood, and meet any HOA requirements. You’ll see actual paint samples on your siding in different lighting conditions before making final decisions. We can also advise on trending color combinations and what works best with your roof and landscape. The goal is colors you’ll love for years, not just what looks good in the store.
