Your Home Gets the Protection It Deserves

You’re tired of watching your paint peel, fade, and chalk away after just a few seasons. That’s what happens when corners get cut or the wrong materials get used for Illinois weather.

When we handle your exterior painting project, you get paint that actually sticks around. We’re talking about protection that lasts through brutal winters, humid summers, and everything in between. Your home looks sharp, your property value stays strong, and you’re not dealing with touch-ups every other year.

The difference is in the prep work and materials. Most painting contractors rush through surface preparation because it’s time-consuming and expensive. We don’t skip steps because we know that’s where paint jobs fail. You get a finish that looks professional and performs like it should.

Every project gets the same attention whether it’s a small ranch home or a large two-story. Licensed, insured, and focused on getting it right the first time.

Exterior Painting Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your home’s current condition and identify any surface issues that need attention. This includes checking for loose or peeling paint, wood damage, caulking problems, and areas where moisture might be getting in.

Next comes surface preparation, which is where most painting projects succeed or fail. We pressure wash when appropriate, scrape and sand problem areas, fill gaps and holes, and prime bare surfaces. This step takes time, but it’s what makes paint stick and last.

Then we apply your chosen paint system using proper techniques for each surface type. We protect your landscaping, clean up daily, and don’t consider the job done until you’re satisfied with the results. You get a detailed warranty covering both materials and workmanship.

What's Included in Every Project

Every exterior painting project includes complete surface preparation, which means pressure washing, scraping, sanding, caulking, and priming as needed. We don’t charge extra for basic prep work because it’s essential for a lasting finish.

You get color consultation help if you want it, or we’ll work with colors you’ve already chosen. We use premium exterior paints designed for Midwest weather conditions, not whatever’s cheapest at the supply house. All trim work, siding, and detail areas get the same attention.

Cleanup is part of the job, not an afterthought. We protect your plants and outdoor furniture, cover walkways, and leave your property cleaner than we found it. The warranty covers both our workmanship and material performance, so you’re protected if anything goes wrong.

Most single-family homes in Westchester take 3-5 days to complete, depending on size and surface condition. Weather can extend this timeline since we won’t paint in rain, high humidity, or extreme temperatures. We’ll give you a realistic schedule upfront and keep you updated if weather causes delays. The key is not rushing the process – proper drying time between coats is essential for durability. We’d rather take an extra day and do it right than rush and have problems later.
High-quality acrylic latex paints perform best in our climate because they expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking. We typically use paint with built-in primer for better adhesion and coverage. The specific brand and formula depend on your home’s siding material – what works great on wood might not be ideal for fiber cement or vinyl. Cheap paint might save money upfront, but it fades faster and needs replacement sooner. We’ll recommend specific products based on your home’s needs and your budget.
Surface prep is the most important part of any paint job, and it’s where most contractors cut corners. Loose or peeling paint must be scraped and sanded. Bare wood needs priming. Gaps and cracks need caulking to prevent moisture intrusion. Dirty surfaces need cleaning. Skipping these steps might save time initially, but the paint will fail quickly. We spend about 60-70% of project time on preparation because that’s what makes paint stick and last. You can’t paint over problems and expect good results.
Late spring through early fall works best in Illinois, typically May through September. We need temperatures above 50 degrees and low humidity for proper paint curing. Summer can be challenging due to extreme heat, which causes paint to dry too quickly. Fall is often ideal because temperatures are moderate and humidity is lower. Winter painting is generally not recommended unless it’s an emergency repair. We book several weeks ahead during peak season, so planning early helps ensure you get your preferred timing.
If more than 20% of your paint is peeling, fading, or chalking, a full repaint usually makes more sense than spot repairs. Touch-ups rarely match perfectly and often look patchy. Also consider the age of your current paint – if it’s over 8-10 years old, it’s probably time for a complete refresh. We can assess your home’s condition and give you an honest recommendation. Sometimes strategic touch-ups can buy you another year or two, but trying to patch a failing paint job usually wastes money.
We provide a written warranty covering both workmanship and material performance. The specific terms depend on the paint system used, but typically range from 3-5 years for workmanship and follow the manufacturer’s warranty for materials. This covers peeling, excessive fading, and application defects – normal wear and tear isn’t covered. We stand behind our work because we use quality materials and proper application techniques. If something goes wrong that’s our fault, we’ll fix it at no charge. The warranty details are spelled out clearly in your contract.
