Paint Spraying in Carol Stream, IL

Spraying new drywall in Carol Stream

Fresh drywall drinks up primer, and the taped seams take it differently than the paper face. Spraying puts down an even film across both, and a back-roll right behind the gun works it into the surface so the seams do not flash through the finish coat. We use an airless sprayer for primer and paint on new walls and ceilings in basements, additions and remodeled rooms. Before the gun comes out, floors, windows, outlets, ducts and anything else that is not getting paint gets covered.

We work in Carol Stream every week, coming in on North Avenue, Gary Avenue, Army Trail Road and Schmale Road. If your Carol Stream basement or addition was just hung and taped, that bare room is the best time to spray, because nothing has moved in yet. Ceilings and walls get primed in one visit, then checked under a work light so any seam that needs another touch of mud gets fixed before the color goes on. If another crew hung the drywall, we look at their finish first and tell you what needs sanding before paint.

What a Carol Stream new drywall spray job includes

Primer sprayed on bare board

An even primer coat seals the paper face and the taped seams so the finish coat dries to one sheen.

Back-rolled walls

A roller follows the spray on walls to push primer into the surface and even out the texture.

Ceilings in the same visit

Ceilings get sprayed before the walls, so any mist that drifts lands on surfaces that still need paint.

Seam check under a light

After primer, we look at every seam with a work light and fix any that would show through the color.

Everything else masked

Windows, floors, outlets, vents and doors are covered in plastic and paper before we spray.

Color coats as written

The estimate lists how many finish coats go on, and that is what goes on.

How a Carol Stream spray job runs

We look at the new walls, measure the rooms and write an estimate that lists primer, finish coats and what gets masked. If the walls need sanding or seam repair before paint, that shows up as its own line, and anything we find later gets priced in writing and approved by you first. We set the spray days for when the joint compound is fully dry. When the last coat is done, we pull the masking, clean up and walk the rooms with you.

FAQ

Paint Spraying in Carol Stream: questions

Is spraying better than rolling for new drywall?

Often, yes. Spray puts an even coat over the paper and the taped seams, and back-rolling right after evens the texture. On a room or more of new board, spraying usually gives the more even finish.

Do you spray in towns near Carol Stream?

Yes. We do the same spray work in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Glendale Heights and Bloomingdale.

Do I need a permit to paint new drywall in Carol Stream?

Painting does not usually need a permit. If the drywall was part of a permitted project, we paint after any required inspection is signed off.

How long after taping can you spray?

The joint compound has to be fully dry, and that depends on the weather and the humidity in the room. We check it before we start and set the spray day around it.

How do I set up an estimate?

Call or text (815) 585-1750. Send a photo of the rooms if you have one, and we will set a time to come measure.
