Arlington Heights, Cook County

Interior & Exterior Painting in Arlington Heights

Plaster and drywall walls in Arlington Heights painted smooth, with the cracks repaired properly so they stay closed after the paint dries.

Arlington Heights painting for plaster, drywall and porches

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.

How we run an Arlington Heights paint job

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.

  • Plaster cracks are taped and skimmed, not just painted.
  • The estimate lists prep, products and coats for each surface.
  • Porch columns and railings get exterior-grade coatings.
  • Rotted wood is replaced before any paint goes on.
  • Repairs we uncover are priced in writing for your OK.
  • The job closes with a walkthrough together.
FAQ

Interior & Exterior Painting in Arlington Heights: questions

Can you paint plaster walls?
Yes. Plaster needs its own prep. We open and tape the cracks, skim them flat and prime before painting, so the cracks do not come back through the finish.
What towns around Arlington Heights do you serve?
We also paint in Palatine, Rolling Meadows and Schaumburg.
Do I need a permit to paint in Arlington Heights?
Painting usually does not need a permit. If porch or trim repair grows into structural work the village regulates, we pull the permit before we start that part.
When is the best time to paint the outside?
Exterior painting runs spring to fall on dry days above 50 degrees. Interior work, including plaster repair, can be done any time of year.
