What Makes Trim Painting in Franklin Park Harder Than It Looks
Franklin Park has a mix of housing stock: the older bungalows near the Metra tracks, the mid-century split-levels off Mannheim, and the newer builds closer to O'Hare. Old glossy trim from the 60s doesn't take new paint without sanding. Latex over oil peels in months. Our crews know these surfaces. Same approach we use on every baseboard painting job across the western suburbs.
Glossy old trim repels new paint
Oil-based enamel from decades ago needs a full scuff-sand. Skip it and your new coat will peel at the edges within a season.
Baseboards take the worst abuse
Vacuum heads and mops have scuffed the bottom edges. We fill and sand before priming. See our baseboard painting details.
Window sills swell with humidity
Franklin Park summers bring moisture. We use paint that flexes with the wood so sills don't crack at the joints.
Door frames get handled daily
Grease and skin oils stop paint from sticking. We degrease every door frame before sanding.
Casing mitres open up over time
Houses settle and the corners of door casings open a fraction. We caulk those joints flush before painting.
Spindles and rails take forever to mask
Staircase rails have curves and gaps. We tape systematically so the wall and floor stay clean. See staircase painting.

A Franklin Park Crew, Not a Call Centre
We're based in Broadview, a quick drive down Grand Avenue from Franklin Park. When you call about trim work on your bungalow near the Metra station or your split-level off Mannheim, you're talking to the people who will be in your house sanding and brushing. Franklin Park's housing stock ranges from pre-war bungalows with original oak trim to mid-century homes with painted-over doors. We know how to handle both: sand the gloss, prime the bare spots, and brush a finish that lasts through the Illinois winters.
That same crew covers the surrounding suburbs too, from Northlake and Stone Park to Maywood, Forest Park and River Forest. Same crew, same prep, same price.

How We Paint Trim in a Franklin Park Home, Step by Step
Most of the work that makes trim look painted rather than just coloured happens before the brush touches it. Here's our order, consistent on every job.
Assess the trim
We walk every room with you and note what's glossy, what's bare, and what needs a patch.
Choose the finish
Satin, semi-gloss or gloss, and whether you want white, off-white or a colour match.
Mask and protect
Floors covered, walls taped adjacent to the trim, switch plates off.
Sand every surface
Old gloss gets scuffed with 120-grit and dusted off before anything is applied.
Spot prime bare areas
Where old paint has chipped or worn through, we brush on a bonding primer.
Cut in the edges
We brush the line where trim meets wall before rolling anything else.
Two brushed coats
Each run gets two full coats, brushed by hand to avoid drips and brush marks.
Clean and inspect
Tape removed, floors uncovered, then you walk and we touch up any spots you see.
The Trim Problems Franklin Park Homeowners Call Us About
Almost every call about trim work starts with one of these issues. Here's what's going on and what your trim looks like when we're finished.
Peeling trim that looks older than the house
Old paint lets go when you put new over un-sanded gloss. We sand it all off first. Same treatment on window trim.
Yellowed trim from years of cigarette smoke
Nicotine and cooking film have soaked the finish. We clean and prime with stain-blocker before the colour coat.
Trim that looks sharp and matches the room
Smooth, even finish with crisp cut lines. No drips, no roller marks, no visible tape lines.
Your rooms fully usable the same day
Furniture back in place, floors cleared, and low-odour paint means you can move back in immediately.
