What Makes Trim Painting in Oak Lawn Harder Than It Looks
Oak Lawn is filled with post-war ranch homes and split-levels that have original trim from the 1950s and 60s. That old wood was often painted with oil-based enamel that has since hardened and yellowed. Painting over it without proper prep is why DIY jobs fail. Our crews know these houses. Same approach we use on every trim painting project across the southwest suburbs.
1950s enamel is rock hard
Oak Lawn's original trim paint is hard and slick. We sand and use a bonding primer so the new paint actually sticks. See baseboard painting.
Split-levels have tricky stair trim
Stairwells and railings need careful taping and brushing. We take the time to get them right. See staircase painting.
Ranch homes have long runs of trim
Open floor plans mean lots of continuous baseboard. We brush it all by hand so there are no roller marks.
Old yellowed white needs coverage
Going from yellowed white to fresh white takes pigment-rich paint. We use high-hide enamel so the yellow doesn't show through.
Nail pops from settling
Oak Lawn homes settled decades ago. We fill and sand nail pops so the finish is flat and smooth.
Stained trim needs stripping
Some Oak Lawn homes still have stained wood that can't be painted over without stripping. We handle it properly.

How We Paint Trim in an Oak Lawn 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 crown piece, then write the price down. No charge, no pressure.
Lock the colour
Sample chips on your actual trim, checked in daylight and lamp light before anything is ordered.
Cover and tape
Floors sheeted, adjacent walls masked, hardware removed and bagged.
Sand and degloss
Old gloss scuffed, bare wood sanded, surfaces cleaned of all dust.
Fill and prime
Nail holes and gaps filled, sanded, then primed with a bonding primer.
First coat of enamel
Applied by brush, worked into all the detailed profiles and flat surfaces.
Light sand and second coat
First coat sanded lightly for adhesion, then a smooth final enamel coat.
Reassemble and inspect
Hardware back on, floors swept, then you walk it and we fix anything.
