Plaster and drywall walls in Arlington Heights painted smooth, with the cracks repaired properly so they stay closed after the paint dries.
Our crew paints walls, ceilings, trim, doors and cabinets indoors, and siding, trim, doors, porches and railings out. We prep before we paint: cracks repaired, holes filled, surfaces sanded, joints caulked and bare areas primed. Furniture gets moved and covered and floors get protected for the whole job. Your estimate spells out the professional products and the number of coats for each surface.
We reach Arlington Heights up Route 53, and Arlington Heights Road and Northwest Highway get us to streets on every side of downtown and the Metra station. Some houses here have plaster walls instead of drywall, and plaster needs different prep. Hairline cracks open right back up if you only paint over them, so we open them, tape them with mesh and skim them flat before priming. On a front porch, the columns, railings and porch ceiling get scraped, primed and painted with exterior coatings meant for the weather they take.

Cracks get opened, taped with mesh and skimmed flat so they do not telegraph back through the new paint.
Nail pops, dents and holes get patched and sanded, and stains get sealed before the finish coats.
Painted woodwork gets sanded, filled and caulked, then finished in a paint that resists scuffs.
Columns, railings, porch ceilings and steps get scraped, primed where bare and coated for exterior use.
Peeling siding and trim get scraped and primed, and rotted wood gets replaced instead of painted over.
Cabinet doors and boxes get degreased, sanded and primed, then finished in a hard enamel.
The first step is a free walk-through, followed by a written estimate that lists every room or surface, the crack repair and other prep, the products and the coats. You approve it, and we set dates and keep them. If a wall or porch board turns out worse than it looked, we show you and price the fix in writing before doing it. Exterior work runs spring to fall on dry days above 50 degrees, and every job ends with a walkthrough together.
Send a photo of the cracked wall or the porch to (815) 585-1750. We will set a free visit and write up every repair and coat before work begins.
