Exterior Painting in Lemont, IL

Exterior painting in Lemont

We work in Lemont every week, painting siding, trim, soffit and fascia, doors, garage doors, shutters, porches and railings. Each job starts with a wash, followed by scraping anything loose, sanding the edges and priming bare wood. Boards that have rotted get replaced, not covered. Fresh caulk goes into every open joint before the finish coats, so water stays out of the wall.

We reach Lemont on I-355 and Route 171, and in town we work off Lemont Road and State Street. The village sits in Cook County along the Des Plaines River and the I&M Canal, and its hills and bluffs leave some lots on a real slope. If your house has a walkout or sits on a grade, the back wall can stand a full story taller than the front. We set ladders with leveled feet on the slope and bring the right height for the tall side, so the top of the back gable gets the same prep as the front door.

Lemont exterior painting, surface by surface

Tall walls reached properly

Two-story and walkout walls get the right ladders, set level on sloped ground, so no section gets skipped or rushed.

Wash and dry

Siding and trim are cleaned of dirt and chalk and dry fully before scraping starts.

Scraped and primed

Loose paint comes off, edges get sanded flat, and every bare spot of wood is primed.

Rotten boards replaced

Soft siding boards and trim pieces are cut out and replaced with new wood, primed before it goes up.

Soffit and fascia

Overhangs get scraped and painted without clogging the soffit vents, and fascia boards are checked for rot behind the gutters.

Yard and walks covered

Plants, walks and the driveway stay covered while we work, and paint chips get cleaned up each day.

How a Lemont job is scheduled

You get a free walk-around and an estimate in writing that names every surface, its prep, the product and the coats. When prep uncovers damage, we stop, price the fix on paper and wait for your approval. Exterior work happens on dry days above 50 degrees, and we plan around the weather instead of painting into it. At the end we go around the house with you, high walls included, and touch up what you find.

FAQ

Exterior Painting in Lemont: questions

Do you paint in towns around Lemont?

Yes. We paint exteriors in Homer Glen, Lockport, Woodridge and Darien too.

Can you paint the tall back wall of a walkout house?

Yes. We bring ladders sized for the wall and set them level on the slope. If a wall needs more than ladders, we say so in the estimate.

Is a permit needed to repaint a house in Lemont?

Not for paint alone in most cases. If siding or a porch needs replacing, we check what the village asks for and get the permit before that work.

How early should I book?

We paint spring to fall, and booking earlier gives you more dates to choose from. Call or text (815) 585-1750 to get the estimate on the calendar.

Do you replace rotted wood or paint over it?

We replace it. Paint over soft wood traps water and fails again, so new wood goes in, gets primed and is painted with the rest.
