What Makes Exterior Painting Tricky on Arlington Heights Homes
Arlington Heights has a great mix of older homes near the Metra station and newer subdivisions. The older houses often have cedar siding that's taken a beating from Midwestern weather, plus layers of paint that are failing. Rolling fresh paint over all that without proper prep is why so many exterior jobs peel within a year. Our crews deal with these surfaces every week, the same way we do on our wall painting jobs across the county.
Cedar siding absorbs moisture
Cedar expands and contracts, which cracks paint. We use a flexible primer that moves with the wood.
Paint failure from old layers
Decades of paint build up and crack. We scrape, sand and feather every edge so the new coat actually sticks.
Faded trim around windows
UV rays break down the resin in old trim paint. It gets scraped, primed and repainted. Details on our window trim painting.
Mold and mildew on north sides
Shaded walls grow mildew. We wash with bleach solution and treat the surface before any paint goes on.
Uneven substrate patches
Old repairs show through new paint. We skim and sand those patches flat. See our exterior trim work.
Wrong paint for the surface
Using interior paint outside or the wrong sheen is the fastest way to ruin a job. We match the product to the substrate every time.

An Arlington Heights Painting Crew, Not a Call Centre
We're based in Broadview, but we run crews all through the northwest suburbs. When you call about a job on Arlington Heights Road or off Rand Road, you're talking to the people who will be standing in your driveway. We know the housing stock here: the pre-war homes near the train, the mid-century ranches, the newer subdivisions with their vinyl siding that's starting to fade.
That same crew covers the neighbouring suburbs too, from Palatine and Rolling Meadows across to Buffalo Grove, Prospect Heights and Mount Prospect. Same crew, same prep, same price list.

Exterior Painting for Arlington Heights Houses, Businesses and Multi-Unit Buildings
One crew, three kinds of jobs. Whether it's the house you live in, the office you run, or the building you manage, the prep and the finish are the same.
Single-family homes
Ranches, two-stories and split-levels across Arlington Heights. We paint the whole exterior or just the sections that need it, including siding, trim and garages. Neighbours in Palatine and Mount Prospect book the same package.
Businesses and storefronts
Offices, restaurants and retail buildings along Arlington Heights Road and Rand Road. We work evenings and weekends so you don't close, and we handle larger sites through our commercial exterior painting and office exterior painting teams. Same setup in Prospect Heights and Wheeling.
Landlords and HOAs
Multi-unit buildings and townhome complexes get a consistent finish across every unit. Most 4-plex exteriors are done in a week. Add touch-up painting or a full house painting package before a sale. Property managers in Buffalo Grove and Rolling Meadows use us the same way.
We also run exterior work across the rest of the county and out into the collar suburbs:
How We Paint an Arlington Heights Exterior, Step by Step
Most of the work that decides how an exterior paint job looks in three years happens before any colour goes on the siding. Here's the order we do it in, every single time.
Walk the exterior with you
We look at every side of your house, then write the price down. No charge, no pressure.
Pick your colours
Sample chips on your actual siding, checked in morning and afternoon light before anything is ordered.
Pressure wash
The whole house gets washed with a bleach solution to kill mould and remove chalky residue.
Scrape and sand
Loose paint scraped, edges feathered, bare wood sanded smooth. This is the day that takes the longest.
Caulk and prime
All gaps sealed, all bare spots primed with exterior-grade oil or acrylic primer.
Cut in the trim
Fascia, soffits, window casings and corner boards brushed by hand before the main surfaces.
Roll or spray the main body
Siding coated with a sprayer or roller, back-rolled for even coverage, two coats allowed to dry between.
Walk, touch up, pack up
We walk the entire property with you and fix anything you point at before we load the van.
The Exterior Painting Problems Arlington Heights 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 older homes
Decades of paint failure from freeze-thaw cycles. We scrape, sand and prime with flexible primer so the new coat stays intact.
Faded siding on the south side
UV rays bake the colour out. It gets washed, primed with UV-resistant primer and repainted so it looks new again.
A house that looks cared for from the street
Even colour, straight cut lines on the trim, no peeling edges. The kind of curb appeal you stop noticing because nothing is off.
Your yard back the same day we finish
Ladders down, tape pulled, debris bagged. No tarps left on your lawn overnight.
