Interior & Exterior Painting in Palos Park, IL

Painting wood, siding and interiors in Palos Park

On exterior wood, the paint is only as good as the scraping and priming under it. We take off everything loose, sand the edges so they do not telegraph through, prime bare wood with an exterior primer and caulk the seams and nail holes. Any board that is soft gets replaced, because paint over rot just holds the water in. Inside, we cover the furniture and floors and paint walls, ceilings, trim, doors and cabinets with the same prep-first approach.

Palos Park is on our regular route, in along Route 45, 123rd Street and McCarthy Road. The Palos and Sag Valley forest preserves and the wooded lots around them give a lot of homes heavy shade and plenty of leaves in the gutters. Wood siding and trim in that setting dry out slowly, so we set exterior start times for after the morning dew burns off and check moisture before priming. Gutters that overflow onto the fascia are worth clearing before we paint it.

How we handle the estimate and the schedule

We come out, walk the house and probe the trim, then write a free estimate listing each surface, the prep, the products and how many coats go on. Weather sets the exterior calendar: spring to fall, dry days, above 50 degrees, with start times pushed later when the woods hold the dew. Any rot we find beyond the estimate gets shown to you and priced in writing before we cut it out. When the paint is dry, we walk the house with you for touch-ups.

FAQ

Interior & Exterior Painting in Palos Park: questions

Should I paint or replace my wood siding?

If most boards are sound, painting with proper scraping and priming protects them well. We replace the boards that are soft and tell you at the estimate if there are enough of them that replacement makes more sense.

How long does an exterior paint job take?

That depends on the size of the house and the amount of prep in the estimate. We give you the schedule in writing, and weather days push it, since we only paint outside when it is dry and above 50 degrees.

Which towns near Palos Park do you work in?

Palos Heights, Orland Park, Lemont and Homer Glen are all on our regular route.

Is a permit needed to paint in Palos Park?

Painting by itself usually does not require a permit. If we end up replacing larger sections of siding, we check with the village first and pull a permit where one is required.

How do I get on the schedule?

Call or text (815) 585-1750 with a few photos of the house and we will set up the walkthrough.
