Walls in your Joliet home that stay smooth after the paint dries, because the cracks get repaired instead of covered. Plaster or drywall, the prep is written into the estimate.
A paint job looks only as good as the wall under it, so repairs come before any color. We fill holes, reset nail pops, sand patches flat, caulk the seams along trim and spot prime every repair and stain. Floors are covered and furniture comes to the center of the room under covers, then goes back when we finish. We ask you to take down wall hangings and pack the breakables, since you know which ones matter.
Joliet is on our regular route, off I-80 and I-55 and across town on Route 30, Route 53, Jefferson Street and Larkin Avenue, on both sides of the Des Plaines River. Where an older Joliet house still has plaster walls, hairline cracks tend to come back if they are only filled with spackle. We open the crack, tape or bond it, and prime the repair so it holds under the new paint. If your walls are drywall, the same care goes into nail pops and dented corner bead.
Cracks opened, bonded or taped, and primed so they stay closed under the finish.
Holes and nail pops filled and sanded until you cannot find them.
Water marks and stains sealed before color, so they do not bleed back through.
Painted in the sheen and coat count the estimate lists. Ceilings have their own page for deeper repairs.
Open joints at baseboard and casing caulked so the edge looks clean.
Furniture returned, coverings pulled and the floor left cleaner than we found it.
We look at every room with you and write up a free estimate showing the prep, the products, the sheen and the number of coats for each one. Plaster can hide loose spots that only show up once we start scraping, and if that happens we stop, price the repair in writing and wait for your approval. You pick colors from samples painted right on your wall. We hold the dates we gave you and walk the finished rooms with you at the end.
