What Makes Cicero Homes Different and More Challenging
Cicero has a rich mix of housing: classic bungalows, brick two-flats, craftsman homes and newer construction. Many older properties have plaster walls, original woodwork and multiple layers of paint. Painting these interiors requires skill and the right preparation. We handle these homes every week, the same way we handle our wall painting jobs across the county.
Bungalows with original plaster
Many Cicero homes were built in the 1920s with plaster walls. We tape and patch cracks so they don't come back through the new paint.
Old oil paint on wood trim
Original trim in Cicero homes often has oil paint. We sand and prime it so the new coating bonds properly. See our baseboard painting.
Stained ceilings from years of cooking
Kitchen and dining room ceilings often hold stains. We seal them with shellac primer before painting. Details on our ceiling painting.
Dark colours that won't cover
Going from dark blue to light grey requires tinted primer and two coats. Skip either and the old colour ghosts through.
Cut lines that show every mistake
Wobbly lines where wall meets ceiling are what people notice first. Ours are cut clean and straight.
Wallpaper removal damages drywall
Pulling old wallpaper often tears the drywall face. We skim and seal it before painting. See our wallpaper removal page.

A Cicero Painting Crew, Not a Call Centre
We're based in Broadview, so when you call about a job on 22nd Street or near the Cicero business district, you're talking to the people who will be standing in your living room. We know the housing stock here: the classic bungalows, the brick two-flats, the craftsman homes and the rental properties near the Metra line.
That same crew covers the neighbouring suburbs too, from Berwyn and Oak Park across to Riverside, Forest Park and La Grange. Same crew, same prep, same price list.

Interior Painting for Cicero Houses, Businesses and Rental Units
One crew, three kinds of jobs. Whether it's the house you live in, the office you run, or the unit you need turned over by the first of the month, the prep and the finish are the same.
Houses and apartments
Bungalows, two-flats and craftsman homes across Cicero. We paint one room or the whole floor, including bedrooms, living rooms and the hallways everyone forgets about. Neighbours in Oak Park and Riverside book the same package.
Offices and storefronts
Salons, clinics, churches and small offices along 22nd Street. We work evenings and weekends so you don't close, and we handle larger sites through our commercial interior painting and office painting teams. Same setup in Berwyn and Oak Park.
Landlords and move-outs
Turnovers are our fastest work. Patch, prime, two coats, keys back to you. Most one-bedroom units are done in two days. Add touch-up painting before a listing photo, or a full house painting package before a sale. Property managers in Chicago and Elmwood Park use us the same way.
We also run interior work across the rest of the county and out into the collar suburbs:
How We Paint a Cicero Interior, Step by Step
Most of the work that decides how a paint job looks in two years happens before any colour goes on the wall. Here's the order we do it in, every single time.
Walk the rooms with you
We look at every wall, ceiling and trim run, then write the price down. No charge, no pressure.
Lock the colours
Sample chips on your actual wall, checked in daylight and lamp light before anything is ordered.
Empty and cover
Furniture moved to the middle, floors sheeted, outlet covers and switch plates off and bagged.
Patch and sand
Holes filled, cracks bridged, old trim scuffed. This is the day that takes the longest.
Prime the problem spots
Stains blocked, bare patches sealed, and tinted primer if you're covering a dark colour.
Ceilings first, then walls
We work top down so drips land on unpainted surfaces instead of your finished walls.
Cut and roll two coats
Edges brushed by hand, walls rolled, second coat after the first is fully dry.
Reassemble and inspect
Plates back on, furniture returned, floors swept, then you walk it and we fix anything.
The Interior Painting Problems Cicero Homeowners Call Us About
Almost every call starts with one of these. Here's what's actually going on, and what your rooms look like once we're done.
Scuffed hallways and marked-up walls
Flat builder paint holds every scuff. We put a washable finish on the traffic areas so a wet cloth takes marks off. Same treatment on stairwells.
Yellow ceilings and old water rings
Nicotine, cooking film and a leak from years ago all bleed through fresh white. They get sealed first, including popcorn ceilings.
Rooms that look finished, not just recoloured
Straight cut lines, even sheen, no roller marks at the corners. The kind of finish you stop noticing because nothing is off.
Your house back the same day we finish
Furniture returned, plates on, no tape left behind. Low-odour paint means you sleep in the room that night.
