The questions that come up most before an exterior repaint, including cost, prep, Illinois weather, and how long a finish should actually last.
With proper prep and exterior-grade materials, expect roughly 7 to 10 years before a repaint. The variables are exposure, siding material, and colour, south and west elevations weather fastest. Cheap jobs fail early almost always because prep was skipped, not because the paint was wrong. We don't cut that corner.
Late spring through early fall is ideal, when temperatures and humidity stay in the range exterior coatings need to cure properly. That said, our season runs longer than most people assume, and booking in winter for a spring start is the surest way to get the slot you want. Our schedule fills earliest in summer.
Yes, and it's the part that decides whether the finish lasts. We power wash, scrape loose paint, sand, spot-prime bare areas, and caulk gaps and joints before a single coat goes on. This is commercial-grade prep brought to residential work, it's the reason our exterior finishes hold for years rather than starting to peel after one or two Illinois winters.
Siding, trim, fascia, soffits, eaves, exterior doors, window trim, shutters, columns, and garage doors, plus power washing, scraping, sanding, caulking, and priming beforehand. Labor and materials are both included, we don't do labor-only work. Anything outside the standard scope, like substrate repair, is identified at the walkthrough and put in writing.
Most exterior repaints take one to two weeks from setup to final walkthrough. Weather is the main variable, we don't paint through rain or when temperatures fall outside the range the coatings are rated for. We give you a realistic window at the walkthrough rather than a best-case one, and one crew stays on it start to finish.
Most exterior painting projects fall between $5,000 and $25,000, depending on the size of the home, the number of stories, siding condition, and how much prep and repair the surfaces need. We price after walking the exterior in person, never over the phone. Every quote includes labor and materials, and 0% financing is available on approved credit.
