Porch columns, railings and spindles get brushed out by hand, with the floor and steps coated to take foot traffic. Hinsdale is on our regular route for exterior painting.
Hinsdale is on our regular route for exterior painting, from siding and trim to soffit, fascia, doors, garage doors, shutters, porches and railings. We wash the house, scrape loose paint, sand the edges and prime bare wood. Wood that has rotted gets replaced instead of filled and covered. New caulk goes into each open joint, then the finish coats follow.
We reach Hinsdale on I-294 and Ogden Avenue, working off York Road and County Line Road, and we cover the blocks around downtown Hinsdale and the Metra station in DuPage County. If your house has a front porch, the porch usually needs more work than any wall. Column bases and the bottoms of railings sit in rain and snow, so we probe them for rot and replace soft pieces before priming. Spindles and railings get brushed by hand, and the porch floor and steps get a coating made for foot traffic instead of wall paint.

Column bases are checked for rot, repaired or replaced, primed and painted to shed water.
Every spindle and rail is scraped, sanded and brushed by hand for full coverage.
Floors and steps get a coating made for foot traffic, so the finish stands up to shoes and snow shovels.
Walls are washed, loose paint scraped, edges sanded and bare wood primed.
Soft trim and siding are cut out and replaced with new primed wood.
Front doors and shutters are sanded and painted in a finish that handles sun and hands.
We come out for a free estimate and write up every surface with its prep, the product and the coats. Rot found in a column base or a porch board gets priced in writing first, and the repair waits for your approval. We work on dry days above 50 degrees and book around the days we said. Once the porch and walls are dry, we walk it all with you and touch up what you find.
Start with the porch or the whole house, your choice. Call or text (815) 585-1750 and we will set up a free walk-around.
