Paint that grips paneling and stained wood instead of peeling off in a year. We paint Palos Park interiors with the right primer under every surface.
We paint interior walls, ceilings, trim and doors, and we prep each surface for what it is made of. Drywall gets filled, sanded and spot primed. Stained or varnished wood gets cleaned, scuff sanded and coated with a bonding primer, because paint laid straight over a glossy finish lifts off. Furniture moves to the center under cover, floors are protected and the edges are masked before any color goes on.
We cover Palos Park on our regular route, in along Route 45, 123rd Street and McCarthy Road, past the Palos and Sag Valley forest preserves in Cook County. If your house sits on a wooded lot, a room with wood paneling or dark stained trim can feel darker than you want, and painting it is one way to brighten it. Knots and tannins in pine bleed yellow through latex, so we seal them with a stain-blocking primer first. On paneling, we also decide with you whether to fill the grooves or leave them, since that changes both the prep and the look.

Paneling cleaned, scuff sanded and primed with a bonding primer, grooves filled or left as you choose.
Varnished baseboard, casing and doors deglossed and primed so the paint grips the wood.
Knots and sap spots sealed with stain-blocking primer so they do not bleed yellow through the color.
Holes, dents and nail pops filled, sanded and spot primed on every wall we paint.
Gaps along trim and paneling edges caulked so the joint reads as one clean line.
Furniture centered and covered, floors protected and sanding dust vacuumed up each day.
We walk the rooms with you and, where wood is involved, test how the existing finish takes a primer. The written estimate lists each room, the prep and primer for each surface, the paint line, the sheen and the coats. If we find something that changes the scope, like water-damaged paneling behind a couch, we price the fix in writing and wait for your approval. We finish with a walkthrough of every room and fix anything you mark.
