What Makes Exterior Painting Harder Than It Looks in Elmwood Park Homes
Elmwood Park has a lot of homes built in the 1950s and 60s, with wood siding, brick ranches and older aluminum trim. The weather here swings from humid summers to freezing winters, so paint that doesn't breathe or flex will peel in two years. Our crews deal with these surfaces every week, the same way we do on our house painting jobs across the county.
Old wood siding traps moisture
Wood that wasn't sealed at the back will absorb rain and push paint off from underneath. We let it dry before we paint.
Peeling trim invites rot
Once water gets behind peeling trim paint, the wood rots fast. We scrape, sand and prime every spot. See our trim painting work.
Caulk gaps shrink in winter
Bad caulk around windows opens up in January. We use elastomeric caulk that moves with the house.
Vinyl fades unevenly
Vinyl siding that's been exposed for 20 years takes paint differently in different spots. We use a bonding primer first.
Brick needs to breathe
Painting brick without allowing moisture to escape traps water and damages the brick. Our approach is on our brick painting page.
Gutters rust through paint
Metal gutters that aren't primed with rust-inhibiting paint will show rust spots within months. We do it right the first time.

How We Paint an Elmwood Park Exterior, Step by Step
Most of the work that decides how an exterior paint job lasts in Illinois weather happens before any colour goes on the house. 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 spot, then write the price down. No charge, no pressure.
Lock the colours
We bring sample chips and hold them against your brick and siding to see what works.
Power wash
Everything gets washed from top to bottom, including under the eaves.
Scrape and sand
Loose paint removed, edges feathered, rough spots sanded flat.
Prime bare spots
Wood, metal and repaired areas all get a coat of primer before the topcoat.
Caulk gaps
All gaps around windows, doors and trim are sealed with elastomeric caulk.
Apply two coats
We brush the trim and roll the siding, two full coats with the right dry time.
Walk the property with you
We go around the house together, check every side and fix anything you spot.
The Exterior Painting Problems Elmwood Park Homeowners Call Us About
Almost every call starts with one of these. Here's what's actually going on, and what your house looks like once we're done.
Peeling paint on the south side
South-facing walls get the most sun damage. We use a primer that bonds to weathered wood so the paint sticks for years.
Faded trim that looks 10 years older
Faded trim around windows and doors makes the whole house look tired. We prime and repaint it with a durable gloss finish. Details on window trim painting.
A house that looks freshly built
Straight cut lines, even sheen and no peeling edges. The kind of finish that improves your curb appeal instantly.
Your yard back the same day we finish
Tarps gone, ladders removed, paint chips swept up. No mess left behind.
