Exterior Painting in Frankfort

Your Frankfort house repainted with the right sheen on every surface: low sheen on the siding, more gloss on the trim and doors where hands and weather hit hardest.

Exterior painting in Frankfort, surface by surface

Each part of the outside of a house asks something different from the paint, and our estimates treat them separately. Siding, trim, soffit and fascia, doors, garage doors, shutters, porches and railings each get their own line with the prep, the product and the coats. The prep itself stays the same everywhere: wash, scrape what is loose, sand the edges, prime bare wood, replace rot and recaulk. The finish goes on by brush and roller, with two-story walls reached from the right ladders.

Frankfort is on our regular route off Route 30, Route 45, LaGrange Road and I-80, from the streets around downtown to the ones along the Old Plank Road Trail. If your house has cedar trim or cedar shake accents, they need a primer that blocks the tannins in the wood, or brown stains bleed through light paint. Front doors, porch railings and garage doors get handled every day, so we finish them in a higher sheen that wipes clean. If the deck needs attention too, staining can go on the same schedule as its own scope.

Exterior Painting by ONIT Solutions

What a Frankfort exterior job includes

Sheen picked for each surface

Siding gets a low sheen that hides texture, while trim and doors get more gloss that sheds water and wipes clean.

Cedar primed against bleed

Cedar trim and shakes get a stain-blocking primer so the tannins stay in the wood and out of your paint.

Front door finish

The entry door is sanded smooth, primed where needed and painted to hold up to daily hands and weather.

Porches and railings

Porch ceilings, posts, rails and spindles are hand-prepped and painted with the trim.

Rot replaced, joints sealed

Soft trim and siding boards are swapped for new primed wood, and every open joint gets fresh caulk.

Grounds kept clean

Landscaping, walks and the drive are covered while we work, and the site is cleaned up at the end of each day.

From walkthrough to final coat

We walk the house with you for a free on-site estimate and write up every surface with its prep, product, coats and sheen. You approve the scope before it goes on the calendar. If we find rotted trim behind a gutter or under a sill once work starts, you get the price in writing and decide before we touch it. Work happens on dry days above 50 degrees, scheduled around the weather, and we finish with a walkthrough to touch up anything you flag.

FAQ

Exterior Painting in Frankfort: questions

What sheen should I use on my house?
Most siding looks best in a flat or low sheen, which hides dents and texture. Trim, doors and railings usually get satin or semi-gloss, which sheds water and cleans up better. We go over it at the estimate and write it down.
Do I need a permit to paint in Frankfort?
Paint alone generally does not need a permit. If the job includes building work like porch or siding replacement, we check with the Village of Frankfort and pull what is required. If you live in an association, color approval is separate.
How long does a Frankfort exterior job take?
The estimate gives a day count for your house and the prep it needs. We paint from spring to fall on dry days above 50 degrees, so rain can move the dates.
Do you cover areas near Frankfort?
Yes, we also paint houses in Mokena, New Lenox and Orland Park.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry liability insurance and can send the certificate before we start. Call or text (815) 585-1750 to ask for it or to set up your estimate.
