What Makes Trim Painting in Melrose Park Harder Than It Looks
Melrose Park has a mix of mid-century ranches and older brick homes with trim that's been painted over many times. The buildup rounds off the edges and the old gloss rejects new paint. Our crews know these houses. Same approach we use on every trim painting project across the area.
Old gloss stops paint from sticking
Latex paint doesn't bond to glossy oil without sanding and primer. We do both on every job, including door frame painting.
Painted-over hardware is a hassle
Older homes have hinges and plates caked in paint. We clean them or remove them so the finish looks clean.
Drips and sags ruin a good wall job
Heavy paint on trim sags before it dries. Our crews brush light coats and pull the drips before they set.
Old varnish needs a bonding primer
Stained woodwork that was never painted needs a shellac or oil primer. Same on baseboard painting jobs.
Wobbly cut lines are all you see
Where the trim meets the wall, a straight line matters. We cut freehand and keep it crisp, especially on window trim.
Impossible corners hide laps
Inside corners behind doors and around windows get missed. We have the right size brushes to reach every inch of crown molding.

How We Paint Trim in Melrose Park, Step by Step
Most of the work that decides how a trim job looks in two years happens before any colour goes on the wood. Here's the order we do it in, every single time.
Walk the rooms with you
We look at every casing, baseboard and piece of crown, then write the price down. No charge, no pressure.
Lock the colour and sheen
Sample chips on your actual trim, checked in daylight and lamp light before anything is ordered.
Empty and cover
Furniture moved to the middle, floors sheeted, switch plates off and bagged.
Sand and degloss
Old trim scuffed, drips scraped, bare wood exposed where the old paint has failed.
Prime the problem spots
Bare wood sealed, stains blocked, and bonding primer on any glossy sections that didn't sand flat.
First coat, full cure
Brushed on, not rolled, so the brush lines stay straight and the paint flows into the wood.
Second coat, same direction
Second brush coat applied with the grain, and we sand between coats when the profile needs it.
Inspect and touch up
Plates back on, floors swept, then you walk it and we fix anything you point at.
The Trim Problems Melrose Park Homeowners Call Us About
Almost every call starts with one of these. Here's what's actually going on, and what your rooms look like once we're done.
Peeling baseboards and chipped door frames
Old latex paint that never bonded to the original gloss. We sand it all off and start fresh with the right primer, including door frame painting.
Yellowed trim and splintered edges
Old varnish turns amber and cracks with age. We use a white-bonding primer and fill any splits before the paint goes on.
Trim that looks crisp and new
Straight edges, no drips, and a satin or semigloss finish that wipes clean. The kind of trim you don't notice because it's done properly.
Your house back the same day we finish
Furniture returned, floors swept, no tape left behind. Low-odour paint means you sleep in the room that night.
