A basement ceiling that reads as one finished surface, with joists, pipes and ducts all one color. We spray open basement ceilings in Lombard and cover every appliance below.
An open basement ceiling is close to impossible to paint well with a roller, with joists, wires, pipes and ducts running every direction. A sprayer reaches the tops of the joists, the backs of the pipes and the bays between them in one pass. We mask the furnace, water heater, electrical panel, windows and floor first, and we keep labels and shutoffs readable. Poured or block foundation walls can be sprayed in the same visit with a masonry primer and paint made for them.
Lombard is on our regular route, off I-355 with Roosevelt Road, Main Street and St. Charles Road getting us to your street. If your basement shows signs of moisture, like white powder on the block or damp corners after rain, we tell you before we paint, because coating a wet wall only traps the problem. A basement also needs airflow while paint dries, so we set fans to push air out a window. The space stays ventilated until the smell clears.

Furnace, water heater, panel, meters and shutoffs masked, with labels left readable.
Joist faces, bays and the underside of the subfloor sprayed in one color.
Ductwork, pipes and cable runs coated along with the ceiling where you want the open look.
Poured or block walls sprayed with a masonry primer and paint made for concrete.
Walls checked for dampness and white mineral deposits before any coating goes on.
Fans set to vent the basement while paint dries and the smell clears.
We look at the basement with you, check the walls for moisture, and give you a written estimate that lists the ceiling, the walls, the masking and the coats. Storage gets moved by you or by us, and the estimate says which. If we find a leak, a soft joist or wiring that needs attention, we show you and price any fix in writing, and nothing moves forward until you approve it. We finish with a walkthrough under the basement lights.
