What Makes Trim Painting in Berwyn Harder Than It Looks
Berwyn is known for its historic bungalow districts and brick two-flats, many of which have original woodwork that's been painted and repainted over decades. Old oil-based enamel on the trim needs scuffing to hold new paint. Plaster walls around the trim shift slightly with the seasons. Our crews know these houses. Same approach we use on every baseboard painting project across Berwyn and the surrounding communities.
Bungalow trim has aged varnish
Many Berwyn bungalows have original shellac on the woodwork. We sand it smooth before priming. See door frame painting.
Two-flats have high-traffic baseboards
Rental units see heavy wear. We fill, sand and prime so the new finish stands up to tenants and moving furniture.
Window trim collects condensation
Berwyn winters bring moisture on windows. We use paint that resists water damage on every window trim job.
Door frames get sticky from humidity
Swelling wood can make doors stick. We sand the jamb edges before painting so they open smoothly.
Plaster cracks near the trim line
Where wall meets casing, plaster often cracks. We fill and sand so the cut line is straight.
Stair rails get handled constantly
Handrails and spindles need extra sanding and a tough finish. See staircase painting.

How We Paint Trim in a Berwyn Home, Step by Step
The quality of a trim job is decided before the brush is loaded. Here's the order we follow on every Berwyn project.
Assess the trim
We walk every room with you and note what's glossy, what's bare, and what needs a patch.
Pick the sheen
Satin, semi-gloss or gloss, and whether you want white, off-white or a colour match.
Mask and protect
Floors covered, walls taped adjacent to the trim, switch plates off.
Sand every surface
Old gloss gets scuffed with 120-grit and dusted off before anything is applied.
Spot prime bare areas
Where old paint has chipped or worn through, we brush on a bonding primer.
Cut in the edges
We brush the line where trim meets wall before rolling anything else.
Two brushed coats
Each run gets two full coats, brushed by hand to avoid drips and brush marks.
Clean and inspect
Tape removed, floors uncovered, then you walk and we touch up any spots you see.
The Trim Problems Berwyn Homeowners Call Us About
Almost every call about trim work starts with one of these issues. Here's what's going on and what your trim looks like when we're finished.
Baseboards that look dirty even after cleaning
Old paint has absorbed years of grime. We sand and repaint so they look clean again. See baseboard painting.
Door frames that stick when it rains
Swelling from humidity makes doors hard to close. We sand the jambs and use a finish that won't build up too thick.
Trim that looks new and matches the room
Smooth, even finish with crisp cut lines. No drips, no roller marks, no visible tape lines.
Your rooms fully usable the same day
Furniture back in place, floors cleared, and low-odour paint means you can move back in immediately.
