What Your Project Includes

Every exterior painting project starts with thorough surface preparation. We handle power washing, scraping loose paint, filling cracks, and priming bare surfaces. This foundation work determines how long your paint job lasts.

We use premium exterior paints specifically chosen for Morton Grove’s climate challenges. These aren’t the cheapest options, but they’re the ones that perform when winter hits and summer humidity tests everything.

Your project includes complete cleanup, protection of landscaping and walkways, and detailed attention to trim work and detail areas. We treat your property like our own and leave it better than we found it.

Most exterior painting projects take 3-7 days depending on your home’s size and condition. Weather plays a role since we won’t paint in rain or extreme temperatures. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if conditions cause delays. The key is proper surface prep and allowing adequate drying time between coats. Rushing leads to problems later, so we plan for quality results rather than speed.
High-quality acrylic latex paints perform best in our climate. They expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking, resist moisture penetration, and hold up to UV exposure. We typically recommend premium brands with proven track records in Midwest conditions. The specific product depends on your siding material and current condition. Cheap paint might save money upfront, but it costs more when you’re repainting in three years instead of eight.
Surface preparation is actually the most important part of any exterior painting project. We handle all necessary prep work including power washing, scraping loose paint, sanding rough areas, filling cracks and holes, and priming bare surfaces. Most paint failures happen because this step was skipped or rushed. Proper prep takes time but it’s what makes the difference between paint that lasts and paint that fails.
We use drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and cardboard to protect plants, walkways, and outdoor furniture. Anything that can be moved gets relocated to a safe area. Plants and permanent fixtures get covered with appropriate materials. We’re careful with overspray and clean up any accidental drips immediately. Most homeowners are surprised how clean we keep the work area. It’s part of doing the job right.
We don’t paint in rain, extreme cold, or high humidity because it affects paint adhesion and drying. If weather delays your project, we’ll communicate immediately and adjust the schedule. We monitor forecasts closely and plan accordingly, but sometimes Mother Nature has other plans. Quality results require proper conditions, so we’d rather delay than compromise your paint job. Most weather delays are brief and don’t significantly impact completion dates.
Quality exterior paint applied properly should last 7-10 years in Morton Grove’s climate. Factors that affect longevity include surface preparation, paint quality, application conditions, and exposure to sun and weather. South and west-facing surfaces typically need attention sooner due to UV exposure. Regular maintenance like cleaning and minor touch-ups can extend paint life. If your last paint job failed in 2-3 years, it was likely due to poor prep work or inferior materials.
