Interior & Exterior Painting in Shorewood, IL

Painting Shorewood homes, inside and out

We paint walls, ceilings, trim, doors and cabinets indoors, and siding, trim, doors, porches and railings outside. Every job starts with prep: holes patched, rough spots sanded, gaps caulked, stains and bare wood primed, and every surface we are not painting masked off. Rotted trim gets cut out and replaced, since paint over soft wood fails fast. Indoors, furniture is moved and covered and the floors stay protected until the last coat is dry.

Shorewood is on our regular route, reached off I-55 by way of Route 59, Route 52 and Black Road. Homes near the DuPage River or on shaded, tree-heavy lots stay damp longer, and that shows up as mildew on the north side and green streaks on trim. We wash those surfaces with a mildew treatment, let them dry fully and only then prime and paint, because paint over live mildew lets go. Inside, bathrooms that steam up get a moisture-resistant finish, and if the exhaust fan is not doing its job we will tell you before we paint.

How a painting job runs in Shorewood

We start with a free on-site look and a written estimate listing each room or side of the house, the prep, the products and the coats. Should a board turn out to be rotted or a sill come apart in our hands, we price the repair on paper and wait for you to approve it. Exterior days are dry days above 50 degrees, spring through fall, and on damp lots we give the wood time to dry out before we begin. At the end we walk the job with you and touch up whatever you mark.

FAQ

Interior & Exterior Painting in Shorewood: questions

Why does my siding keep growing mildew after it is painted?

Usually the mildew was painted over instead of killed, or the surface was still damp. We treat it, rinse it, let it dry and then prime, which gives the finish a clean surface to hold onto.

Do you paint in other towns around Shorewood?

Yes. We also paint in Minooka, Channahon, Crest Hill and Joliet.

Do I need a permit to paint in Shorewood?

Painting alone does not usually need a permit from the Village of Shorewood. If we replace porch posts, stairs or other structural parts, we check the village's requirements and pull a permit where one is needed.

How late in the year can you paint outside?

Exterior painting runs into fall as long as the days stay dry and above 50 degrees. Once it gets colder than that, we move to interior work and pick the outside back up in spring.
