Get stair spindles, railings and tall foyer walls in Arlington Heights painted with even coverage on every face. We mask the stairs and floors below, then spray the parts that are slowest to brush.
Stair spindles are the slowest thing in a house to paint by hand, with four sides each and a turned profile that catches drips. Spraying wraps paint around all of them in one pass, and the same goes for railings, newel posts and the stringers along the stairs. Tall stairwell and foyer walls get sprayed and back-rolled, so there are no lap marks running down from the ceiling. The treads, the floor below and the walls that are not getting paint are covered first.
We work in Arlington Heights every week, coming in up Route 53 and across on Arlington Heights Road and Northwest Highway. If your Arlington Heights house has a stained handrail you want to keep and white spindles you want refreshed, we mask the rail and spray only the spindles, so the wood stays as it is. Where an older stair has layers of brushed paint built up on the spindles, we sand the drips and ridges down before spraying, since spray shows what is under it.
Spray coats all four faces and the turned profile of each spindle in one pass.
Painted rails and posts get sprayed, and stained ones are masked if you want them kept.
The boards along and under the stairs get enamel in the sheen you pick.
Stairwell and foyer walls are sprayed and rolled so no lap lines show.
Built-up brush marks and runs are sanded down before the new coat goes on.
Paper and plastic protect the treads and the floor at the bottom of the stairs.
We look at the stairs, count the spindles and write an estimate that lists the prep, the surfaces, the sheen and the coats. If a spindle is loose or a rail is cracked, we point it out and price the repair in writing before we fix it. The stairs are out of use while the paint dries, so we set that window with you ahead of time. When it is done, we walk up and down with you and look at every face.
Spindles, rails and tall walls can all be priced in one visit. Start with a call or text to (815) 585-1750, and send a photo of the stairs if you have one.
