What Makes Trim Painting in La Grange Harder Than It Looks
La Grange has some of the oldest housing stock in the western suburbs. Victorian-era homes with original oak trim, brick bungalows from the 1920s with painted-over doors, and mid-century houses with glossy oil enamel that hasn't been touched in fifty years. Each surface needs a different approach. Our crews know these homes. Same process we use on every baseboard painting project across La Grange and the surrounding towns.
Victorian trim has layers of varnish
Old oak trim often has multiple layers of shellac and varnish. We strip or scuff-sand to get a clean surface for primer.
Brick bungalows have uneven walls
Plaster over brick means the trim sits slightly off. We scribe and caulk gaps so the line looks straight. See our door frame painting approach.
Window sills get sun damage
South-facing sills in La Grange take UV damage. We use paint with UV blockers so the finish doesn't yellow.
Baseboards collect dust and grime
Years of dust and cleaning products build up. We degrease and sand every inch before priming.
Crown molding needs a steady hand
Cutting the line between crown and ceiling is freehand work. We do it on every crown molding job.
Old hardware gets in the way
Vintage door knobs and hinges are taped off carefully. We don't paint over them. See door painting for details.

How We Paint Trim in a La Grange Home, Step by Step
The quality of a trim job is decided before the brush is loaded. Here's the order we follow on every La Grange project.
Evaluate the trim
We walk every room with you and note what's glossy, what's bare, and what needs a patch.
Select the sheen
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 La Grange 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.
Chipped baseboards that show every mark
Old enamel chips off at the bottom edge. We fill, sand and prime so the new finish bonds properly. See baseboard painting.
Crown molding that has yellowed unevenly
Some sections have aged faster. We use a stain-blocking primer and two coats of white to even it out.
Trim that looks new 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.
