Exterior Painting in Willowbrook, IL

Exterior painting in Willowbrook

Our exterior work in Willowbrook takes in siding, trim, soffit and fascia, doors, garage doors, shutters, porches and railings. The process starts with cleaning. Next comes scraping, edge sanding and primer on bare wood, with rotted pieces swapped out for new ones. Last, fresh caulk seals the open joints and the finish coats go on.

We reach Willowbrook on I-55 and Route 83, then along Plainfield Road and 63rd Street, in DuPage County between Darien, Burr Ridge and Westmont. If your house is mostly brick, the paint job is the wood and metal around it: trim, soffit and fascia, frieze boards, the garage door and any siding on the upper story. Where trim meets brick, the caulk joint is what keeps water out of the wall, so we cut out failed caulk and run a new bead before painting. We mask the brick carefully, because paint on masonry is very hard to get off.

What goes into a Willowbrook exterior job

Trim against brick

Failed caulk where wood meets brick is cut out and replaced, so the joint seals before it gets painted.

Brick kept clean

Masonry is masked along every painted edge, so the line stays sharp and the brick stays unpainted.

Upper-story siding

Siding on the second story or gables gets washed, scraped and primed from the right ladders.

Soffit, fascia and frieze

Overhang boards are cleaned, checked for rot and painted, with vents left open.

Garage door and entry

Garage panels and the front door are cleaned, sanded and coated for daily wear.

Rot replaced first

Soft trim or siding is swapped for new primed wood before any paint goes on.

From estimate to walkthrough in Willowbrook

We look at the house at no charge and write the estimate out by surface, with the prep, the product and the coats for each. Anything that turns up behind old caulk or paint gets a written price, and you approve it before it is done. We book around the days we said, working only on dry days above 50 degrees. Before we leave, we walk the house together and fix any spot you flag.

FAQ

Exterior Painting in Willowbrook: questions

Can you paint just the trim on my brick house?

Yes. A trim-only job gets the same prep, caulk work and written estimate as a full repaint.

Which towns near Willowbrook do you serve?

We also paint in Darien, Hinsdale, Clarendon Hills and Burr Ridge.

Do I need a permit for exterior painting in Willowbrook?

Paint alone generally does not. If we replace siding or rebuild a porch along the way, we check with the village and pull the permit first.

When is the season for outside painting?

Spring to fall, on dry days above 50 degrees. Call or text (815) 585-1750 and we will set up a time to look.

Will you paint my brick?

Only if you ask, and we would talk it through first, because painted brick needs upkeep for as long as you own the house. Most of the time we keep the brick clean and paint the wood around it.
