Windows, sills and trim get painted tight to the glass so water runs off instead of soaking in. Westmont is on our regular route for exterior painting.
Westmont is on our regular route for exterior painting, covering siding, trim, soffit and fascia, doors, garage doors, shutters, porches and railings. The crew washes first, scrapes loose paint, sands the edges and primes bare wood. Any board that has rotted gets replaced. We caulk every open joint and then put on the finish coats listed in your estimate.
We reach Westmont along Ogden Avenue and Route 83, and work across Cass Avenue, 55th Street and the streets around the Metra station in this DuPage County village. If your house still has wood windows, the sills and the bottom rail of each sash take more water than any other part of the house. We probe the sills for soft spots, replace what has rotted, and deal with cracked glazing putty before priming. Then the paint gets laid just onto the glass, so the joint between wood and glass is sealed instead of left open to rain.
Sills are checked for rot, cracked putty is addressed, and paint is sealed to the glass line so rain cannot get behind it.
Shutters are cleaned and painted, taken down where that gives a better finish, and hung back straight.
We remove dirt and chalk and let the walls dry, so the new coat bonds.
Lifting paint is scraped to a firm edge and sanded, and any bare wood gets primer.
Soft trim, sills and siding boards are replaced with new primed wood.
The entry and garage doors are cleaned, sanded and coated for the use they get.
We visit for a free estimate and give you a written scope listing each surface, the prep, the product and the coats. Rot we find in a sill or a trim board gets priced in writing, and it waits for your approval. Painting happens on dry days above 50 degrees, scheduled around rain. On the final day we walk the outside with you, window by window if you like, and touch up what you point out.
