Exterior Painting in Addison, IL

Painting the outside of Addison homes

Our exterior work covers siding, trim, soffit and fascia, doors, garage doors, shutters, porches and railings. Most of the job is prep: a wash, scraping anything loose, sanding the edges and priming bare wood. Open joints get fresh caulk, and rotted boards get replaced instead of painted over. Then the finish coats go on in the product and sheen your estimate names.

Addison is on our regular route, reached off I-290 and I-355, with Lake Street, Route 53 and Army Trail Road carrying us around town. If your house has aluminum siding, run a hand across it, and a white, powdery film on your palm means the old finish is chalking. Paint put on over chalk peels in sheets, so we wash the siding hard, rinse it, and use a primer that bonds to metal before the color coats. That gives the new paint a clean, sound surface to hold.

Included in an Addison exterior paint job

Chalk removal

Siding with a powdery film gets scrubbed and rinsed until a hand comes away clean.

Bonding primer on metal

Aluminum siding and trim get a primer that grips metal, so the topcoat does not lift.

Wood trim prep

Window and door trim gets scraped, sanded smooth at the edges and primed wherever the wood is bare.

Rot cut out

Sills and trim boards that have gone soft are replaced with sound wood before they see any paint.

Soffit and fascia

The boards along the roofline get cleaned, caulked at the seams and painted to match the trim.

Shutters and doors

Shutters come down where they need to, and doors get sanded and painted to go with the new trim color.

How the job gets done

You get a free on-site visit and a written estimate that names each surface, the prep it needs, the product and the coats. When prep uncovers rot or a cracked board, we stop, show you, and put the repair price in writing for your approval. Exterior painting runs spring to fall on dry days above 50 degrees, and we work around the forecast. Before we pack up, we walk the outside of the house with you and fix anything you want touched up.

FAQ

Exterior Painting in Addison: questions

Can aluminum siding be painted?

Yes. It has to be washed until the chalky film is gone, then primed with a product that bonds to metal. Skip either step and the paint peels.

Do you work in towns around Addison?

Yes. We paint exteriors in Villa Park, Lombard, Wood Dale and Elmhurst too.

Will I need a permit from the village to paint?

Not for paint alone, in most cases. Swapping out siding or framing is different, and if your job reaches that point we ask the village what it requires and pull the permit.

When should I book exterior painting?

We paint outside spring to fall, on dry days above 50 degrees. Calling before the season starts lets us set dates around your plans.

How do I start?

Call or text (815) 585-1750 to set a visit. After we look at the siding and trim, you get a written estimate.
