Get siding, trim and doors in Carol Stream that look sharp from the street and hold their paint through the winters. Every surface, prep step and coat is listed in writing before we set a ladder.
We paint the outside of the house: siding, trim, soffit and fascia, doors, garage doors, shutters, porches and railings. Every job starts with a wash, because paint does not stick to dirt, pollen or chalky old coatings. Then we scrape what is loose, sand the edges smooth, prime bare wood and renew the caulk at open joints. Your plants, walks and driveway get covered before any paint can is opened.
Carol Stream is on our regular route, and our trucks come in on North Avenue, Gary Avenue, Army Trail Road and Schmale Road. On most houses, the garage door is the largest painted surface facing the street, and it often gets left out of the plan. If your garage door is steel, we clean it, sand any rust spots to bare metal, spot-prime them and roll on a finish made for metal. The front door gets the same attention, so the two doors match the siding and trim when the job is done.
A full wash takes off dirt, mildew and chalk so the primer and paint bond to the surface instead of to grime.
Rust spots get sanded to bare metal and spot-primed, then the panels get a finish coat made for metal.
We sand the old finish, fill dings, and paint the door and its frame in the color you pick.
Loose paint comes off, edges get sanded flat and bare spots get primed before the siding gets its coats.
We paint the boards under the roof edge and replace any that have gone soft from gutter overflow.
Drop cloths and plastic go over beds, walks and the driveway so paint ends up only where it belongs.
We come out, walk around the house with you and write an estimate that lists each surface, the prep, the product and the number of coats. If scraping turns up rotted wood, we show you the board, price the fix in writing and wait for your yes before we touch it. Exterior work runs spring to fall on dry days above 50 degrees, and we book around the weather and the days we said. When the last coat is dry, we walk the house with you and touch up anything you point out.
