What Makes Exterior Painting Tougher Than It Looks on Riverside Houses
Riverside has a lot of early 20th-century homes designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, with steep roofs, deep eaves, and ornate trim that's been exposed to the Des Plaines River valley weather for over a century. That peeling trim under the eaves? It's not just old—it's a sign that moisture has been sitting behind the paint. Our exterior painting service starts with finding and fixing those hidden problems so the new finish lasts.
Historic trim rots from the back
Wooden eaves and rake boards on Riverside's older homes trap moisture. We inspect and replace soft sections before painting. See our trim painting.
Old oil paint won't let go
Decades of oil-based paint on wood siding need aggressive sanding and oil primer. Anything less and the new coat chips off in sheets.
Gables and dormers need scaffolding
Riverside's tall gables and dormer windows aren't a ladder job. We bring the right staging so we can reach every inch safely.
Window sashes swell and stick
Old wood windows painted shut or sticking badly get freed up and sanded so they operate properly after painting.
Shingles curl and crack
Cedar shake and asphalt shingle siding need a specific approach. We use breathable paint designed for shingle surfaces.
Water pools on flat roofs
If you have a flat roof section, the parapet walls need a moisture-blocking primer. We seal those areas separately.

How We Paint a Riverside Exterior, Step by Step
Most of the work that decides how an exterior paint job holds up in the Illinois winter happens before any colour goes on the wall. Here's the order we do it in, every single time.
Walk the whole exterior with you
We look at every wall, corner, roofline and window frame, then write the price down. No charge, no pressure.
Lock your colours
We bring samples and help you pick a finish that works with your roof and brick in Riverside's light.
Pressure wash
Remove dirt, mildew, chalk and loose paint so the new coats bond properly.
Scrape and sand
Every peeling spot scraped, edges sanded smooth, and any soft wood identified for repair.
Caulk gaps
Old sealant cut out, fresh caulk applied to every window, door and corner joint.
Prime bare areas
Wood, metal and masonry primed with the right product for the surface.
Two finish coats
Rolled and brushed, with the second coat applied after the first has cured in the sun.
Walkaround with you
We circle the entire building with you and fix anything you point at before the gear is packed.
The Exterior Painting Problems Riverside 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 on the south-facing gable
That wall gets sun and wind. The paint has expanded and contracted until it failed. We strip it, prime it, and use a UV-resistant topcoat.
Wood trim is soft and spongy
Rotting trim under the eaves isn't just cosmetic. We dig out the soft wood, fill with epoxy or replace the section entirely. Details on trim painting.
A house that looks period-appropriate and maintained
Sharp lines where colours meet, even coverage on the siding, and trim that frames the house properly.
Protection against the next Chicago winter
100% acrylic paint that stays flexible, resists moisture, and holds its colour through freeze-thaw cycles.
