Paint Spraying in Roselle, IL

Spraying doors and trim in Roselle

Paneled doors are hard to brush well, since paint pools in the corners of each panel and runs if it goes on heavy. Sprayed flat on a rack, a door gets an even coat of enamel on its face and edges without those drips. We take the doors off the hinges, bag the hardware, fill dings, sand, prime where the old paint needs it and spray. Baseboard and casing that stay on the wall get masked along the wall line and sprayed in place, or brushed where the room makes spraying the wrong tool.

Roselle is on our regular route, on the DuPage side and the Cook side, and we come in on Lake Street, Roselle Road and Irving Park Road. If your Roselle house has a hallway full of doors in an old color or old oil-based paint, the doors may be what makes the inside of the house look tired. Oil paint needs a bonding primer before new paint will stick, so we test for it at the estimate. A full set of doors can come down in one day and go back up once the enamel has hardened.

What we spray on Roselle doors and trim

Doors taken down

Each door comes off its hinges and gets a number, and its hardware goes in a labeled bag.

Oil paint tested

We check whether the old finish is oil-based, because that needs a bonding primer first.

Dings filled and sanded

Dents and chips get filled and sanded flush before primer.

Sprayed flat on racks

Doors are sprayed lying flat so the enamel levels out instead of running.

Trim in place

Baseboard and casing are masked at the wall and sprayed, or brushed where that gives the cleaner line.

Rehung once cured

Doors go back up after the enamel has hardened, with the hardware back on.

How a Roselle door and trim job runs

We count the doors, look at the trim and test the old paint, then write an estimate that lists each door and run of trim with its prep and coats. Damaged doors or split jambs found once the doors come down are priced in writing, and you approve before we fix them. You get a date for the doors coming down and a date for them going back up. When they are hung, we check each one with you for swing, latch and finish.

FAQ

Paint Spraying in Roselle: questions

Will my house be without doors while you paint them?

For a few days, yes. We take them down in a planned group, spray them and rehang them once the enamel has cured enough to handle. Bathroom and bedroom doors can go in separate rounds if you need the privacy.

Can you paint over old oil-based trim?

Yes, with a bonding primer first. Latex paint put straight over oil tends to peel, so we test the old finish and prime it where it is needed.

What sheen should my doors be?

Semi-gloss wipes clean and holds up to hands, which is why it goes on a lot of doors and trim. Satin shows fewer dents and less of the grain. We bring samples to the estimate.

Do you paint doors near Roselle?

Yes. We spray doors and trim in Bloomingdale, Schaumburg, Itasca and Hanover Park as well.

How do I get an estimate?
