What Makes Forest Park Exteriors Tougher Than They Look
Forest Park has a lot of classic bungalows and older frame houses along the Madison Street corridor and the side streets near the Metra line. Many of these homes have original wood siding that's been painted multiple times over the years. Our crews know exactly how to prep and paint these surfaces, the same way we handle house painting across the county.
Bungalow siding absorbs moisture
Old wood siding soaks up rain. We use oil-based primer on bare wood to seal it properly before the topcoats.
Paint adhesion fails on glossy trim
Years of old paint build up on window frames. We scuff and prime so the new paint sticks. See our trim painting.
Masonry needs the right coating
Forest Park homes with brick or block need breathable coatings, not standard house paint. Check our brick painting.
Lead paint is common in older homes
Many Forest Park bungalows have lead paint layers. We follow EPA RRP lead-safe work rules on every older home.
Caulking fails around windows
Dried-out caulk lets water in behind the paint. We cut out and replace all failed caulking before painting.
Second-story eaves are hard to reach
Bungalows have high eaves that need proper ladders or scaffolding. We set up safely so the work is straight. See our commercial exterior approach.

Classic Chicago bungalows, frame houses and new builds across Forest Park. We paint the whole house or just the siding and trim. Neighbours in Brookfield and La Grange book the same package.

How We Paint a Forest Park Exterior, Step by Step
Most of the work that decides how an exterior paint job lasts in Forest Park's climate happens before any colour goes on the wall. Here's the order we do it in, every single time.
Walk the property with you
We look at every side, every trim run and every problem area, then write the price down.
Pressure wash the exterior
Dirt, chalk and loose paint blasted off so we can see what's solid underneath.
Scrape and sand
All loose paint removed, edges feathered and old caulking cut out.
Prime exposed wood and bare spots
All raw wood, patched areas and masonry sealed before the topcoats.
Caulk gaps and joints
All seams, window frames and corners sealed to keep moisture out.
Paint from top to bottom
We start with soffits and fascia, then work down through siding and trim.
Apply two full finish coats
First coat sets the coverage, second gives it the depth and durability.
Clean up and walkthrough
All plastic and tape removed, yard cleaned, then you walk the building and we fix anything.
The Exterior Painting Problems Forest Park Homeowners Call Us About
Almost every call starts with one of these. Here's what's actually going on, and what your building looks like once we're done.
Bungalow siding is peeling
Old wood siding on Forest Park bungalows gets dry and flaky. We scrape, prime and coat so it looks solid again. See our siding painting.
Paint is chalking on the sunny side
South-facing walls in Forest Park take more sun and chalk faster. We pressure wash thoroughly and use UV-resistant exterior paint.
A house that stands out on your block
Even colour, clean cut lines, no roller marks. The kind of finish that makes neighbours stop and ask who did it.
Paint that lasts through Illinois winters
Elastic coating that moves with the wood and doesn't crack in the freeze-thaw cycle.
