Interior Painting in Wheaton

Wheaton interior painting, stairwells included

Stairwells are the walls that tend to get skipped, because the ladder work is awkward and the ceiling line is hard to cut. We set up a leveled plank across the stair run on ladders built for stairs, and the treads and railings get covered. The prep is the same as any room: holes and nail pops filled, sanded and primed, and gaps at the skirt board and casing caulked. Then the walls get the coats written into the estimate, cut straight at the ceiling.

We work in Wheaton every week, coming in on Roosevelt Road and Naperville Road and through downtown near Main Street, the Metra station and Wheaton College. If your house has a stair that turns at a landing or a hallway that opens two floors up, that is where scuffs and handprints build up and where new paint makes the biggest difference. We use a washable finish on stair walls because they get touched every day. Rooms off the hall are done one at a time so the stairs stay usable at night.

What we include for Wheaton interiors

From walkthrough to the last coat in Wheaton

We look at the stairwell height and the rooms you want painted, then put it all into a written estimate with prep, products, sheen and coats for each space. The stairwell setup is listed on its own line so you can see what it involves. If a wall needs work we did not see, it is priced in writing and approved by you before we do it. We keep to the dates we gave you and walk the finished rooms and stairs with you at the end.
