Interior & Exterior Painting in Wheaton

Wheaton house painting, porch to ceiling

Painting is mostly prep, and we price it that way. Before any finish coat, we patch and sand, caulk open joints, prime bare and repaired spots and mask what stays unpainted. Inside, that applies to walls, ceilings, trim, doors and cabinets. Outside, it covers siding, trim, doors, porches and railings, and any rotted wood gets replaced with new before it sees paint.

We work in Wheaton every week, coming in on Roosevelt Road and Naperville Road and around downtown Main Street, the Metra station and Wheaton College. A front porch takes more care than a flat wall: spindles, posts, handrails, step risers and the porch ceiling all need prep. Porch floors and steps wear fastest, so they get a floor-rated finish and the treads get checked for soft spots. Where a house has plaster walls inside, we cut out and tape the cracks instead of just filling them.

What a Wheaton paint job includes

How a Wheaton paint job works

We walk the house with you and send a free estimate that spells out each room or surface, the prep, the products and the number of coats. Porches and exteriors go on the calendar from spring to fall when the days are dry and above 50 degrees. If a tread or post turns out to be rotted past what we priced, you get a written price and the decision before we replace it. At the end, we go over the work with you and handle touch-ups.

• Porch spindles and posts included
• Floor-rated finish on porch steps
• Plaster cracks taped, not just filled
• Every surface listed in the estimate
• Rotted wood priced before replacing
• Touch-ups handled at the end
