Arlington Heights, Cook County

Exterior Painting in Arlington Heights

Arlington Heights siding, wood windows and trim painted with tight lines between every color. You see each surface, its prep and its coats on paper before we start.

Arlington Heights exterior painting

Our crew paints siding, trim, soffit and fascia, doors, garage doors, shutters, porches and railings. We wash, scrape loose paint, sand the edges smooth and prime the bare wood before color goes on. Open joints get new caulk, and rotted wood is cut out and replaced. Your estimate names the product and the number of coats for every surface.

Arlington Heights is on our regular route up Route 53, and Arlington Heights Road and Northwest Highway bring us in toward downtown and the Metra station. Where an older house still has wood windows, the sashes and sills need more than a coat of paint. We scrape them, replace cracked or missing glazing putty, prime the bare wood and paint with a clean line on the glass. If your trim is painted in two or three colors, we cut each color in by hand so the lines stay straight.

What goes into an Arlington Heights exterior

Wood window sashes

Sashes get scraped and primed, cracked glazing putty gets replaced, and paint is cut to a clean line on the glass.

Sills

Window sills get probed for rot, repaired or replaced where soft, then primed and painted to shed water.

Multi-color trim

Body, trim and accent colors get cut in by hand so each line stays straight.

Porches and columns

Porch columns, ceilings and railings get scraped, primed and painted for the wear they get.

Siding

Siding is washed, scraped where it peels and primed wherever the wood shows.

Doors

Front, side and garage doors get sanded and painted to suit the colors on the rest of the house.

How the job runs in Arlington Heights

We walk the house with you, window by window, and write an estimate listing each surface, the prep, the product and the coats. If a sill is rotted through or a sash needs more than putty, we show you and put that repair in writing before doing it. Exterior work happens spring to fall on dry days above 50 degrees, and we schedule around the forecast and the days we promised. We finish by walking the house with you and touching up whatever you point to.

FAQ

Exterior Painting in Arlington Heights: questions

Can you paint my old wood windows?
Yes. We scrape and prime the sashes, replace cracked glazing putty and paint them with a clean line on the glass. Rotted sills get repaired or replaced first, with your approval.
How do you handle a house with three trim colors?
Each color goes on the estimate with the surfaces it covers. We cut every color in by hand and paint them in order so the lines stay crisp.
Do you work near Arlington Heights?
Yes. We paint exteriors in Palatine, Rolling Meadows and Schaumburg too.
Does Arlington Heights require a permit to paint a house?
Repainting normally goes ahead without one. New siding, porch framing or other structural work is different, and for those we confirm the village's rules and pull a permit when it is required.
When can you start?
Our exterior season runs spring to fall, and we paint only on dry days above 50 degrees. Call or text (815) 585-1750 to get the estimate going, and we will set start dates once you approve it.
