House Painting Process Elgin

How We Handle Your Paint Project

First, we look at your home and discuss what you want to accomplish. We check for any prep work that needs attention—because paint only looks as good as the surface underneath. You get a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline.

Before any paint goes on, we handle the prep work properly. That means scraping, sanding, caulking, and priming where needed. We protect your landscaping, furniture, and floors because cleaning up paint damage costs more than preventing it.

The actual painting happens systematically—primer first where needed, then quality paint applied in proper conditions. We don’t rush through coats or skip steps that affect how long your paint job lasts. When we’re finished, your property is cleaner than when we started.

Quality exterior paint properly applied typically lasts 7-10 years in Illinois, depending on exposure and surface type. South-facing surfaces get more sun damage, while north sides deal with more moisture. The key is using paint designed for our climate extremes and applying it over properly prepped surfaces. Cheap paint or poor prep work can fail in 2-3 years, which ends up costing more in the long run. We use paints rated for Midwest weather conditions and include proper primer when needed to maximize longevity.
Our estimates break down labor, materials, prep work, and cleanup so you know exactly what you’re paying for. We include surface preparation like scraping, sanding, and caulking, plus primer where needed for proper adhesion. Materials include quality paint, brushes, rollers, and drop cloths. We also cover minor repairs like filling nail holes or replacing small sections of trim that affect paint quality. The estimate includes our cleanup process and removal of old paint debris. No surprise charges for normal prep work that any professional paint job requires.
We use heavy-duty drop cloths and plastic sheeting to protect plants, walkways, and outdoor furniture before any work starts. Delicate plants get extra coverage, and we move portable items when possible rather than just covering them. Our painters are trained to watch for overspray and drips that can damage property. For interior work, we remove or cover furniture and use floor protection that actually stays in place. Part of our job is leaving your property cleaner than we found it, which means taking protection seriously from the start rather than trying to clean up damage later.
Exterior painting requires temperatures above 50 degrees for proper paint curing, so we typically schedule outdoor projects between late spring and early fall in Illinois. However, we can handle interior painting year-round since indoor temperatures stay consistent. Winter is actually a great time for interior projects since you’re spending more time indoors anyway. For exterior work, we monitor weather forecasts carefully and won’t start projects if conditions aren’t right for proper paint adhesion. Rushing exterior painting in poor weather conditions leads to premature failure and wasted money.
Most single-story exterior paint jobs take 3-5 days depending on prep work needed and weather conditions. Two-story homes typically require 5-7 days. Interior painting varies widely—single rooms might take 1-2 days while whole-house interiors can take 1-2 weeks. The timeline depends more on prep work and drying time than actual paint application. We provide realistic schedules upfront and communicate any delays caused by weather or unexpected prep needs. Rushing paint jobs to meet unrealistic deadlines compromises quality and durability.
Yes, we help homeowners choose colors that work with their home’s architecture, lighting, and surroundings. Many people struggle with how colors will actually look once applied, especially for exterior projects where neighborhood context matters. We can show you how different colors look in various lighting conditions and suggest combinations that enhance your home’s value. For interior projects, we consider your existing furniture and natural light. Color consultation is included in our service because choosing the wrong color wastes everyone’s time and money, even if the paint application is perfect.
