Exterior Painting in Roselle, IL

Exterior painting for Roselle homes

Painting the outside of a house means siding, trim, soffit and fascia, doors, garage doors, shutters, porches and railings. We wash first, scrape every loose flake, sand the edges and prime the wood that is left bare. Caulk is renewed at each open joint, and soft or rotted boards get replaced. The finish coats come last, in the product and number of coats your estimate lists.

Roselle sits across the DuPage and Cook county line, and we reach it on Lake Street, Roselle Road and Irving Park Road, near the Metra station. Where a Roselle house has wood clapboard with many layers of paint built up, the edges of each scraped spot leave a ridge that shows through new paint. We sand those edges down so the patch blends into the wall, then prime the bare wood. Skipping that step is why so many repaints show a map of old chips from the street.

Prep and paint on a Roselle exterior

Wash and rinse

The siding gets washed and rinsed so the scraping and priming work on clean wood.

Scrape to sound paint

Every loose or lifting flake comes off until what is left is stuck tight.

Feather-sanded edges

We sand the ridges around scraped spots so the old chip lines do not show through the new coat.

Primer where wood is bare

Exposed wood gets primed before the finish coats, so moisture does not get into the grain.

Replacement clapboard and trim

Split or rotted boards get cut out and replaced with new wood sized to fit the boards around it.

Doors, shutters and railings

We prep and paint the entry door, shutters and porch railing in the colors you pick for the trim.

What to expect from estimate to finish

We walk the outside with you and write up each surface, the prep, the product and the coats, so you know what you are paying for. Rot or a split board found during scraping gets shown to you and priced in writing, and we wait for your approval before fixing it. Work is booked spring to fall, on dry days above 50 degrees, around the days we agreed on and the forecast. The last step is a walk around the house with you, and we touch up anything you see.

FAQ

Exterior Painting in Roselle: questions

My old paint shows chip marks under every repaint. Can you fix that?

Yes. We sand the edges of scraped spots until they blend, then prime and paint. That step is what keeps the chip outlines from showing.

Do you paint in other towns around Roselle?

We do. We also cover Bloomingdale, Schaumburg, Itasca and Hanover Park.

Do I need a permit to paint my Roselle house?

For a straight repaint, usually not. Replacing clapboard or the framing behind it can change that, so we confirm with the village before that work and handle the permit if one applies.

How is weather handled?

We paint on dry days above 50 degrees, spring to fall. If rain is coming, we move the day and let you know rather than paint on damp wood.
