Interior Painting in Roselle

Repair first, then paint, in Roselle

Paint shows every flaw under it, so the repairs come before the color. On drywall that means filling holes, resetting nail pops, retaping a cracked seam and sanding everything flat. On plaster it means opening a crack, filling it in layers and priming it so it does not ghost through the finish. Then floors get covered, furniture moves to the center, and walls, ceilings, trim and doors get the coats on your estimate.

Roselle is on our regular route along Lake Street, Roselle Road and Irving Park Road, and the village spans the DuPage and Cook county line. Where an older Roselle house still has plaster walls, the repairs take a different approach than drywall: hairline cracks get opened and filled, and plaster that has pulled loose gets fastened back to the lath. If your house has drywall throughout, the usual list is nail pops, cracks running from the corners of doors and windows, and holes left from shelves. Either way, the estimate tells you what we found on each wall and how we plan to fix it.

What a Roselle interior paint job includes

How we price and run the work

At the free estimate we look at each wall up close and write down the repairs, the products, the sheen and the number of coats for every room. Plaster can hide more damage than it shows, so if a repair grows once it is opened up, we stop, show you and price the extra work in writing before going on. You set the start date, and we work through the rooms in the agreed order. At the finish, we walk every room together under good light and touch up anything you point out.
