What Makes Fence Painting in La Grange Harder Than It Looks
La Grange has a mix of older Victorian homes and mid-century ranches with fences that have weathered decades of Chicago winters. The freeze-thaw cycles here are brutal on wood, and many fences were built with cedar that dries out and cracks. Our crews know these fences. Same approach we use on every fence painting project across the village.
Old paint hides wood damage
Peeling paint often conceals rot or insect damage underneath. We inspect every board and replace rotted sections before painting. Covered in our fence painting service.
Cedar bleaches grey in sun
La Grange's sunny days and harsh winters turn cedar grey. We restore the surface with a brightener before sealing and painting.
Moisture wicks up from wet soil
The clay soil around La Grange holds water, and fence bottoms rot from the ground up. We treat and seal the base of every post and board on every fence painting job.
Latex paint blisters on iron
Oil-based or specialty metal paint is required on wrought iron. We use the right primer and finish for every material.
Uneven surfaces need extra attention
Rough-sawn wood and old chain-link need more paint to cover fully. We apply enough product so the finish is uniform across every section of your fence painting project.
Nails and hardware rust and bleed
Old hardware stains wood and paint. We replace rusty nails and hardware, then prime the spots so the bleed doesn't come through.

A La Grange Painting Crew, Not a Call Centre
We're based in Broadview, just up the road from La Grange near the Ogden Avenue corridor, so when you call about a job off 47th Street or around the historic neighborhoods near the Metra station, you're talking to the people who will be standing in your yard. La Grange is known for its older homes with mature trees and traditional fences that need careful prep to hold paint through the seasons. We know these fences and the clay soil that sits under them.
That same crew covers the nearby suburbs too, from Brookfield and Riverside to Lyons, Westchester and Hillside. Same crew, same prep, same price list.

How We Paint a La Grange Fence, Step by Step
Most of the work that decides how a fence paint 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 fence with you
We look at every board, rail and post, then write the price down. No charge, no pressure.
Check the wood condition
We test for rot, soft spots and insect damage, marking boards that need replacement before paint.
Power wash the entire fence
We clean both sides with a power washer, removing dirt, mildew and loose paint so the new paint bonds.
Scrape and sand all surfaces
Every peeling section is scraped to bare wood and sanded so no edges catch the new paint.
Apply primer to bare spots
Every bare wood section and replaced board gets a coat of exterior wood primer to seal the surface.
Paint both sides of the fence
We start on the inside, then the outside, rolling and back-brushing every board for full coverage.
Apply the second coat
After the first coat dries, we apply a second coat to build the final finish and colour depth.
Inspect and walkthrough
We check every board, clean up any drips, then walk the fence with you and fix anything you point at.
The Fence Problems La Grange Homeowners Call Us About
Almost every call starts with one of these. Here's what's actually going on, and what your fence looks like once we're done.
Flaking paint and weathered wood
Old paint that's curling and flaking off, leaving wood exposed to La Grange's humidity and freeze-thaw cycles. We scrape, sand, and prime before painting so the new paint holds. Same fix on wood fences and decks.
Rusty gates and ironwork
Iron gates and fences rust at joints and along the ground. We treat the rust, prime the metal, and paint it to match. Includes wrought iron fence painting.
A fence that looks brand new
Even colour, no bare spots, no peeling edges, and a finish that sheds water so the wood stays dry.
Curb appeal that lasts
Your yard looks finished, your neighbours notice, and you don't have to paint again for years.
