What Makes Fence Painting in Cicero Harder Than It Looks
Cicero is a dense urban community with a mix of vintage bungalows and industrial-adjacent properties with fences that have weathered decades of Chicago winters and heavy traffic. The clay soil here holds water against fence posts, and the freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on wood and paint. Our crews know these fences. Same approach we use on every fence painting project across the city.
Fence posts rot from ground contact
Cicero's soil stays wet, and fence posts rot at ground level. We inspect and replace rotted posts before painting. Covered in our fence painting service.
Industrial grime sticks to fences
Cicero's industrial history means more dust and grime on fences. We use a strong cleaner before pressure washing, then scrape and prime every section of your fence painting project.
Sun and snow beat fences on the west side
West-facing fences get sun all day and snow piled against them in winter. We use paint built for UV and moisture on every fence job.
Nail heads rust and bleed through paint
Old nails rust and leave brown streaks. We replace hardware and prime rust spots so the bleed doesn't return.
Uneven boards need extra prep
Cicero's older fences have boards that cup and twist. We sand and prime each board individually so the finish is consistent across your fence painting project.
Wrong primer means peeling in a year
Oil-based primer is required on some woods. We test the wood type and use the right primer for maximum adhesion.

A Cicero Painting Crew, Not a Call Centre
We're based in Broadview, right next door to Cicero near the Eisenhower corridor, so when you call about a job off Roosevelt Road or around the historic bungalow neighborhoods near Hawthorne Park, you're talking to the people who will be standing in your yard. Cicero is a dense urban community with older homes, narrow lots, and fences that need painters who understand tighter spaces and older wood. We know these fences and the clay soil that sits under them.
That same crew covers the nearby suburbs too, from Berwyn and Stickney to Oak Park, Lyons and Forest Park. Same crew, same prep, same price list.

Churches, schools, and small businesses along Cermak Road and Roosevelt Road. We work around operating hours and handle larger sites through our commercial exterior painting and commercial painting teams. Same setup in Stickney and Lyons.
Landlords and rentals
Turnovers and property maintenance are our fastest work. Patch, scrape, paint, keys back to you. Most fenced yards are done in a day. Add touch-up painting to the house itself or a full exterior painting package. Property managers in Cicero and Oak Park use us the same way.
We also run fence work across the rest of the area and out into the collar suburbs:
How We Paint a Cicero 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 Cicero 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.
Peeling paint and weathered wood
Old paint that's curling and flaking off, leaving wood exposed to Cicero'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.
