Paint Spraying in Schaumburg, IL

Spraying basement ceilings in Schaumburg

An open basement ceiling is a maze of joists, ductwork, pipes, cable runs and the underside of the subfloor, and no roller reaches all of it. Spraying coats every face and gap in one color, which is why it is the standard way to paint an exposed ceiling. Before we start, the floor, walls, furnace, water heater, electrical panel and anything else that should stay unpainted gets covered. We also spray basement walls and new drywall when the room is ready for it.

Schaumburg is on our regular route, reached off I-90, I-290 and Route 53, with Golf Road and Meacham Road getting us across town, on the Cook County and DuPage County sides alike. If your Schaumburg basement is getting finished and you want the open-ceiling look instead of drywall, the ceiling gets sprayed before the walls and floor go in, so there is less to protect. If the basement is already in use, we cover what is there and work around it. Either way, gas valves, water shutoffs and panel labels stay masked so they can still be found and read.

How a Schaumburg basement spray job runs

We come down, look at the ceiling and what is under it and write an estimate that lists the area, the prep, the color and the coats. A leaking pipe or anything else that should be fixed before paint gets pointed out, and any added work is priced in writing for you to approve. If the basement is part of a finishing project, we schedule the spray before the walls go up. When it is done, we pull the masking and walk the space with you under the lights.

FAQ

Paint Spraying in Schaumburg: questions

What color should a basement ceiling be?

Dark colors like black or charcoal make the joists and ducts fade back, and white or light gray makes the room brighter. We can spray a test patch so you can see it before the whole ceiling gets done.

Do you spray basements near Schaumburg?

Yes. We do the same work in Hoffman Estates, Roselle, Hanover Park and Palatine.

Do I need a permit to paint my basement ceiling?

Painting alone does not usually need a permit. If the basement is being finished with new walls, electrical or plumbing, that work may need one, and we paint after the required inspections are done.

How long will the basement be out of use?

Plan on it being closed off from the day we mask until the paint is dry. We give you the dates at the estimate and tell you whether the furnace should be off while we spray.

How do I get an estimate?

Call or text (815) 585-1750 with a photo of the ceiling. We will come out and measure it.
