What Makes Fence Painting in Melrose Park Harder Than It Looks
Melrose Park fences take a beating from Lake Michigan winds and summer humidity. The wood expands and contracts, the paint cracks, and rust eats through old chain-link. Rolling fresh paint over that without scraping and priming is why DIY jobs fall apart in a year. Our crews know these fences. Same approach we use on every fence painting project across the suburbs.
Wood fences dry out and split
We use flexible exterior paint that moves with the wood so it doesn't crack at the joints during temperature swings.
Old paint traps moisture
Peeling paint holds water against the wood. We scrape and sand until the surface is dry before priming any wood fence.
Chain-link rust spreads
Rust spots need wire brushing and rust-inhibiting primer. We hit every link before the top coat goes on.
Neighbours notice one side only
If you only paint the side that faces your yard, the street side looks different. We paint both sides as standard.
Staining takes a different touch
Stain penetrates instead of sitting on top. We know when to spray and when to brush. See our deck and fence staining options.
Posts rot below the ground line
We check the base of every post. Rotted ones get flagged before we paint so you're not covering up a bigger problem.

We're based in Broadview, just down Mannheim Road from Melrose Park, so when you call about your fence near North Avenue or one of the side streets off 25th Avenue, you're talking to the crew that will be in your backyard. Melrose Park has a mix of older homes with wooden privacy fences and industrial areas with chain-link. We know how these fences were built and what the weather does to them.
That same crew covers the neighbouring suburbs too, from Elmwood Park and River Forest to Oak Park, Maywood and Northlake. Same crew, same prep, same price list.

Fence Painting for Melrose Park Houses, Commercial Lots and Rental Properties
One crew, three kinds of fence jobs. Whether it's the privacy fence around your backyard, the perimeter fencing for your business, or the fence at a rental you need to freshen up, the prep and the finish are the same.
Backyard fences
Wood privacy fences around Melrose Park homes, chain-link in the side yards, and decorative picket fences in the front. We paint one panel or the whole perimeter. Neighbours in Elmwood Park and Forest Park book the same package.
Commercial fencing
Perimeter fences around businesses, storage lots and industrial sites in Melrose Park and nearby suburbs. We handle larger jobs through our commercial exterior painting and fence painting teams. Same setup in Northlake and Stone Park.
Rental turnovers
Fences are the first thing new tenants see. We touch up the gate, paint the whole run or stain a deck fence so it looks maintained. Property managers in Maywood and Stone Park use us the same way.
We also run fence work across the rest of Cook County:
How We Paint a Fence in Melrose Park, Step by Step
The steps that separate a fence that still looks good in three years from one that peels after the first winter. Here's the order we do it in, every single time.
Walk the fence line with you
We look at every post, panel and gate hinge, then write the price down. No charge, no pressure.
Pressure wash the whole run
Dirt and mildew come off first. We wait for the wood to dry before we do anything else.
Scrape and sand rough spots
Peeling paint, flaking rust and splinters get knocked down until the surface is smooth.
Prime bare wood and metal
Every spot where the old coating is gone gets sealed. Rust spots get inhibitor primer.
Set up for spray or brush
We choose the application method based on the fence type — spray for chain-link, brush for wood pickets.
First coat on both sides
We work from the top down, getting coverage on every picket and rail.
Second coat after drying
We wait for the first coat to set, then apply the final coat for even colour and coverage.
Walkthrough and touch-ups
We walk the whole fence with you and fix any missed spots before we load the van.
The Fence Painting Problems Melrose Park 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.
Faded paint on the south side
UV rays break down paint on the sunny side. We use UV-resistant exterior paint and a two-coat system that holds colour longer.
Rust spots on chain-link
Rust spreads under paint if you don't treat it. We wire-brush and prime every spot on your chain-link fence.
A fence that looks maintained, not patched
Even colour from post to post, no drips at the bottom, and the gate still swings freely.
One job, two coats, both sides
The side that faces your house and the side your neighbours see. Both get the same treatment.
