What Makes Trim Painting in Cicero Harder Than It Looks
Cicero is home to thousands of brick bungalows and two-flats, many built in the 1920s and 30s with original oak trim and plaster walls. Decades of paint layers, old oil-based enamel, and the wear from generations of families mean these surfaces need serious prep. Our crews know these buildings. Same approach we use on every baseboard painting project across Cicero and the surrounding towns.
Brick bungalows have thick trim
Original oak baseboards in Cicero bungalows often have multiple layers of shellac and paint. We sand thoroughly before priming. See door frame painting.
Two-flats have high-traffic wear
Rental units see heavy use. We fill, sand and prime so the new finish stands up to tenants and moving furniture.
Plaster walls shift with the seasons
Cicero winters and summers cause plaster to expand and contract. We use flexible caulk on trim joints so lines stay straight.
Window trim takes moisture damage
Condensation on windows can cause paint to bubble. We use moisture-resistant primer on every window trim job.
Door casings get scuffed and dented
Moving furniture and daily use take their toll. We patch and sand casings flat before painting.
Stair rails and spindles are tedious
Rails and spindles need individual attention. We mask carefully and brush each one. See staircase painting.

A Cicero Crew, Not a Call Centre
We're based in Broadview, just north of Cicero on Harlem Avenue. When you call about trim work on your bungalow near 22nd Street or your two-flat off Cermak, you're talking to the people who will be in your house sanding and brushing. Cicero's bungalows have character: original wood trim, deep sills, and crown molding that was crafted by hand decades ago. We know how to work on these homes without damaging the original features.
That same crew covers the surrounding suburbs too, from Berwyn and Oak Park to Forest Park, Stickney and Lyons. Same crew, same prep, same price.

How We Paint Trim in a Cicero 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 Cicero project.
Assess the trim
We walk every room with you and note what's glossy, what's bare, and what needs a patch.
Choose 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 Cicero 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 worn and dirty
Years of cleaning and foot traffic have worn the finish. We sand and repaint them to look new. See baseboard painting.
Door frames that have been painted over too many times
Thick layers of paint make doors stick. We sand down the buildup and re-paint with a thinner finish.
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.
