Exterior Painting Process Franklin Park

Here's Exactly What Happens

We start with a detailed assessment of your home’s exterior surfaces. Every area that needs attention gets noted – loose caulk, wood rot, surface preparation requirements. No surprises later about “additional work” that should have been obvious from day one.

Next comes the prep work that actually matters. We scrape, sand, prime, and repair properly. This is where most contractors cut corners and where most paint jobs fail. We don’t skip steps because we know you want results that last.

Then we apply the paint system designed for your specific surfaces and Illinois weather conditions. We protect your landscaping, clean up daily, and leave your property better than we found it. You get a detailed walkthrough when we’re finished, plus warranty information for your records.

What's Included In Every Job

You get complete surface preparation – the foundation of any paint job that lasts. We handle scraping, sanding, caulking, and priming. If there’s wood rot or damage, we’ll repair it properly or let you know upfront what needs attention.

We use premium exterior paint systems specifically chosen for Illinois weather. These aren’t the cheapest options, but they’re the ones that perform when temperatures swing from below zero to 90+ degrees with high humidity.

Your property stays protected throughout the project. Drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and careful attention to landscaping and outdoor furniture. We clean up completely each day because we know you still have to live here during the work.

Most single-family homes in Franklin Park take 3-5 days for complete exterior painting, depending on size and surface conditions. Weather plays a role – we won’t paint in rain, extreme humidity, or temperatures outside the paint manufacturer’s recommended range. We’d rather delay a day than compromise the quality of your paint job. Proper prep work takes time, and rushing this phase is where most paint failures start. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if weather affects our schedule.
Illinois weather demands high-quality 100% acrylic latex paints that can handle freeze-thaw cycles and humidity swings. We typically use premium brands like Sherwin-Williams Duration or Benjamin Moore Aura for their superior adhesion and flexibility. These paints cost more upfront but last significantly longer than builder-grade options. The key is matching the paint system to your specific siding material – wood, fiber cement, aluminum, and vinyl all have different requirements. Cheap paint might save money initially, but you’ll be repainting much sooner.
Absolutely. Proper surface preparation is included in every exterior painting project because it’s essential for long-lasting results. We scrape loose paint, sand rough surfaces, replace damaged caulk, and prime bare wood or metal. If we find wood rot or structural issues, we’ll discuss repair options with you before proceeding. Many contractors skip or rush prep work to keep costs down, but this almost always leads to paint failure within a few years. We include thorough prep work in our estimates because we want your paint job to last.
Yes, Metanoia Construction is fully licensed and carries comprehensive general liability insurance plus workers’ compensation coverage. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any work. This protects you from liability if someone gets injured on your property and ensures you’re working with a legitimate business. Unfortunately, many painting contractors operate without proper licensing or insurance, leaving homeowners exposed to significant risk. We’re happy to provide references from recent Franklin Park projects so you can verify our work quality and professionalism.
We warranty our workmanship for two years and stand behind the paint manufacturer’s material warranty, which varies by product but typically ranges from 15-25 years for premium paints. Our warranty covers peeling, excessive fading, or adhesion failures that result from improper application. Normal wear, damage from severe weather events, or issues caused by building movement aren’t covered. We keep detailed records of the products used on your home and will address any legitimate warranty issues promptly. A contractor who won’t warranty their work probably isn’t confident in their methods.
We use heavy-duty drop cloths and plastic sheeting to protect all plants, outdoor furniture, and hardscaping around your home. Delicate plants get extra attention with lightweight fabric covers that allow air circulation while blocking paint overspray. We move or cover outdoor furniture and grills before starting work each day. Our crew is trained to work carefully around established landscaping – we’ve seen too many paint jobs that saved money but killed expensive shrubs or stained patios. Clean-up is part of our daily routine, not something we rush through at the end of the project.
