What Makes Trim Painting in Arlington Heights Harder Than It Looks
Arlington Heights has a mix of housing stock. Older homes near the train station have original wood trim that's been painted multiple times. Newer subdivisions have factory-finished trim that's thin and scratches easily. Rolling paint over that without prep is why DIY trim jobs fail. Our crews know how to handle both. Same approach we use on every trim painting project across the northwest suburbs.
Original wood trim shows every coat
Decades of paint build-up hide the grain. We strip or sand back to a smooth surface before we paint.
Factory finish is too smooth
Newer trim has a baked-on finish that repels paint. We scuff it thoroughly for proper adhesion.
Old stain bleeds through
Stained oak and mahogany trim need shellac primer or the tannins bleed into your new white paint. See our primer coating guide.
Radiator covers and built-ins
Arlington Heights homes have radiators and built-in cabinets. We work around them and paint everything that's visible.
Window trim takes direct sun
UV light yellows white trim fast. We use premium paint with UV resistance on all window trim painting jobs.
Color matching across rooms
Different rooms have different light. We match the same white across the whole floor. See color consultation for more.

How We Paint Trim in an Arlington Heights Home, Step by Step
Most of the work that decides how a trim job looks in two years happens before any colour goes on. Here's the order we do it in, every single time.
Walk the trim with you
We look at every baseboard, casing and window frame, then write the price down. No charge, no pressure.
Lock the trim colour
Sample chips on your actual trim, checked in daylight and artificial light before anything is ordered.
Protect floors and furniture
Drop cloths, taped paper and plastic around every area we're brushing.
Sand all existing trim
Old gloss scuffed, bare wood smoothed, corners de-nibbed. This is the day that takes the longest.
Prime bare, stained and oil-based spots
Stains blocked, bare patches sealed, shellac primer on stained wood, bonding primer on oil gloss.
Caulk where needed
Gaps between trim and walls, plus around windows and doors, get fresh caulk.
Brush two coats by hand
Every piece of trim brushed, not sprayed, for a clean finish with no overspray on your walls.
Reassemble and inspect
Plates back on, floors swept, then you walk it and we fix anything you point at.
The Trim 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 trim looks like once we're done.
Worn baseboards in high-traffic areas
Kids, pets and vacuum cleaners wear the edges down. We sand and repaint with a durable semi-gloss that lasts. Same treatment on hallway trim.
Dark stain bleeding through white paint
Tannins in oak and mahogany trim bleed through. We use shellac primer to block it before we paint.
Crisp lines and smooth finish
Straight edges where trim meets wall, no brush marks, no drips. The kind of finish you stop noticing because nothing is off.
Your house back the same day we finish
Floors clean, furniture back, no tape left behind. Low-odour paint means you walk through it the same night.
