Exterior Painting in Oswego, IL

Exterior painting for Oswego houses

We paint siding, trim, soffit, fascia, doors, garage doors, shutters and porch railings. Each job starts with a wash, then scraping and sanding wherever paint has let go, and primer on anything bare. Caulk that has cracked or pulled away gets cut out and replaced, not smeared over. The written estimate names each surface, the prep, the product and the number of coats, so you can compare it line by line.

Oswego is on our regular route in Kendall County, off Route 34, Route 71, Orchard Road and Wolfs Crossing Road, on both sides of the Fox River. If your house has fiber cement siding, it takes paint well, but the factory finish fades and chalks over time and needs a good wash before a new coat will stick. The joints where fiber cement meets trim are where caulk fails first, and we redo every one. If your house is vinyl with painted trim, we focus on the trim, soffit and doors and keep paint off the vinyl.

Included in an Oswego exterior repaint

Fiber cement washed and painted

Faded fiber cement is washed clean of chalk and dirt, then painted in two coats where the estimate calls for it.

Old caulk cut out

Cracked and pulled caulk is removed and new caulk goes in at trim, windows and corners.

Trim and corner boards

Window and door trim, corner boards and frieze boards are scraped, sanded and painted in the trim color.

Overhangs

Soffit and fascia are cleaned and painted, and fascia that has rotted behind the gutter is replaced first.

Garage and entry doors

Garage doors and entry doors are cleaned, sanded and painted, including a color change if you want one.

Site left in order

Beds, walks and the driveway are covered while we work, and everything is picked up before we leave each day.

How we handle your Oswego job

We walk the house with you for a free estimate and write up the scope: surfaces, prep, product and coats. A color change gets planned on that estimate too, since going from dark to light or light to dark can take an extra coat. Any added work gets priced in writing and approved by you first. We paint on dry days above 50 degrees, book around the days we said, and end with a walkthrough.

FAQ

Exterior Painting in Oswego: questions

Can you change the color of my fiber cement siding?

Yes. Fiber cement takes paint well once it is washed. A big color change usually means an extra coat, and the estimate shows that up front.

Do I need a permit to paint in Oswego?

Paint alone generally does not need a permit. If your project includes siding replacement or other building work, we check with the Village of Oswego before we start. If you are in an association, color approval comes from the board.

When do you paint exteriors?

From spring to fall, on dry days above 50 degrees. Rain and cold nights move the schedule, and we tell you as soon as they do.

Do you work near Oswego too?

Yes, we also paint houses in Montgomery, Aurora and Naperville.

What is the best way to reach you?
