Darien, DuPage County

Interior & Exterior Painting in Darien

Kitchen cabinets, trim and walls in your Darien home painted with a finish that grips, because we clean, sand and prime first.

Darien painting with the prep written out

We cover Darien for interior and exterior painting. The inside work includes walls, ceilings, trim, doors and cabinets, and the outside work includes siding, trim, doors, porches and railings. Our crew spends most of a job on prep: patching holes, sanding, caulking joints, priming and masking off everything that should not get paint. Trim that has rotted gets replaced with new wood instead of a coat of paint on top.

Darien is in DuPage County, and we reach it on I-55 and Route 83, with 75th Street and Cass Avenue taking us across town toward Willowbrook and Woodridge. Kitchen cabinets show why prep matters more than paint. Grease has to come off first or primer will not stick, and every door and drawer front is sanded and primed before the finish goes on. If your house is a split-level, the half flights of stairs and their railings add cutting-in time, and we count that into the estimate.

Interior & Exterior Painting by ONIT Solutions

What our Darien painting work covers

Cabinet degreasing and sanding

Kitchen doors, drawer fronts and boxes are degreased, scuff sanded and primed so the finish coat bonds instead of chipping.

Hardware off, labeled, back on

Hinges and pulls come off before we paint and go back on in the same spot once the finish has cured.

Stairwells and railings

Half flights, spindles and handrails are sanded and coated, with the walls around them cut in by hand.

Wall and ceiling repairs

Cracks, dents and old anchor holes are filled and sanded so the walls read as one smooth surface.

Exterior trim and doors

Outside, we scrape, caulk and prime trim, then paint entry doors, garage trim and railings.

Rotted wood replaced

Window sills, brick molding or fascia that has gone soft is cut out and replaced before any paint goes on.

FAQ

Interior & Exterior Painting in Darien: questions

Do you paint in towns near Darien?
We do. We also cover Willowbrook, Westmont, Burr Ridge and Downers Grove, with the same written scope and prep.
How long does it take to paint kitchen cabinets?
It depends on the number of doors, the prep and the coats, and the estimate lays out the days. Cabinets need time between coats to cure, so we do not rush the finish.
Is a permit needed for painting in Darien?
Painting alone usually does not need a permit. If the job grows into replacing exterior trim or porch parts beyond a repair, we check with the city and pull a permit where one is required.
Can I text you photos of my cabinets?
Yes. Text photos to (815) 585-1750 for a first read, then we set a time for a free on-site estimate.
When do you paint exteriors?
From spring through fall, on dry days when it is above 50 degrees. Interior work, including cabinets, runs all year.
