Professional exterior painting that actually lasts through Chicago winters and keeps your biggest investment looking sharp.
You walk outside and see a home that makes you proud. The paint isn’t peeling after two winters. Your neighbors aren’t quietly judging the faded siding you’ve been meaning to fix.
That’s what happens when exterior painting is done right the first time. Your home gets real protection from moisture, wind, and those brutal temperature swings that destroy cheap paint jobs. The colors stay vibrant. The finish stays smooth.
You stop worrying about when you’ll need to repaint and start enjoying what you’ve got. Your property value stays strong, and you get to focus on better things than scraping paint every few years.
Metanoia Construction has been serving Evanston homeowners who expect quality work and straight answers. We understand that your home is your biggest investment, and exterior painting isn’t just about making it look good.
We know Evanston’s architecture, from vintage Craftsmans to modern builds. We understand what works in this climate and what doesn’t. Most importantly, we know that good painting starts with proper preparation, not just slapping new color over old problems.
First, we assess your home’s current condition and identify any prep work needed. No surprises, no hidden issues discovered halfway through. You know exactly what you’re getting into before we start.
Next comes the prep work that separates lasting paint jobs from quick fixes. Power washing, scraping loose paint, filling gaps, and priming bare surfaces. This is where most contractors cut corners. We don’t.
Then we apply premium exterior paint designed for Midwest weather. Two coats minimum, proper drying time between coats, and careful attention to details like trim and window frames. We protect your landscaping and clean up completely when we’re done.
You get thorough surface preparation, premium paint application, and complete cleanup. That means power washing, scraping, sanding, priming, caulking, and two finish coats using quality exterior paint designed for Chicago weather.
We protect your plants, walkways, and outdoor furniture. We handle permits if needed. You get a detailed timeline upfront and regular updates if weather affects the schedule. No guessing when we’ll show up or when we’ll be done.
The job includes touch-ups within the first year and a walkthrough when everything’s complete. You see exactly what we did and get care instructions to keep your paint looking good longer.
