Exterior Painting in Rolling Meadows, IL

Exterior painting in Rolling Meadows

We take care of the painted outside of the house: siding, trim, soffit and fascia, doors, garage doors, shutters, porches and railings. Washing comes first, followed by scraping, sanded edges and primer on bare wood. Cracked caulk gets replaced at open joints, and any rotted boards get swapped out. Plants, walks and driveways stay covered while the work is going on.

Rolling Meadows is on our regular route in Cook County, off Route 53, and Golf Road, Kirchoff Road and Algonquin Road get us through town. Paint applied to a wall in hot, direct sun dries too fast, which leaves lap marks and can blister. So we work around the house with the shade, starting on the side the sun has already left and saving the sunny walls for later in the day. It takes planning, and it is a big part of why a finished wall looks even from one end to the other.

Included on a Rolling Meadows exterior

Washing

We wash every painted surface so primer and paint bond to the siding, not to dust and pollen.

Scraping loose paint

Peeling and flaking paint is scraped away and the edges are sanded so they disappear under the new coat.

Primer on bare spots

Bare wood and repaired areas get primer before the finish so the color looks the same across the wall.

Rotted wood out

Soft trim, sills and siding boards are replaced with new wood and primed.

Caulk

Cracked and missing caulk at windows, doors and trim joints is replaced so rain stays out of the walls.

Doors, shutters and railings

These get their own prep and paint, in the colors you pick, listed on the estimate line by line.

How a Rolling Meadows job is run

You start with a free walk-around and get a written estimate that names each surface, its prep, the product and the coats. When we find rot or damage you could not see before, we show it to you, price the repair in writing and wait for approval. We plan exteriors spring to fall on dry days above 50 degrees and set each day's order around the sun. Once the paint is dry, we walk every side of the house with you and handle touch-ups.

FAQ

Exterior Painting in Rolling Meadows: questions

Why not paint the sunny side of the house first?

Paint on a hot wall in direct sun dries too fast and can leave lap marks or blisters. We follow the shade around the house so each wall dries evenly.

Do you paint in other towns near Rolling Meadows?

Yes. We cover Arlington Heights, Palatine, Schaumburg and Hoffman Estates as well.

Does Rolling Meadows need a permit for exterior painting?

Paint by itself usually does not. If the project grows into siding replacement or framing repair, we check with the city and pull a permit where required.

How many days will my house take?

That comes down to the size of the house, how much prep it needs and the weather. Your written estimate gives a working number of days, and rain days push it.

How do I get on the schedule?
