Trim & Door Painting in Aurora

Window trim and sills in your Aurora home sanded, sealed and painted so the finish stops flaking where the glass meets the wood.

Window trim, door and baseboard painting in Aurora

Trim and doors are detail work, and we run them as a separate job from walls so they get the time they need. Our crew sands glossy and worn surfaces, fills holes and dents, caulks open joints and primes bare wood. If the existing paint is oil-based, a bonding primer goes down first. Then the enamel goes on in the sheen you choose, doors come off and get painted flat where it helps, and hardware goes back on at the end.

We cover Aurora in all four of its counties, reaching it on I-88, Route 59, Eola Road and Farnsworth Avenue. Window trim is where we find the most failing paint inside a house, because condensation runs down the glass in cold weather and sits on the sill. If your sills are flaking or gray, we sand them back to sound wood, let them dry, prime the bare spots and caulk the seams around the stool so water stops getting under the paint. The casing and apron get painted with them so the whole window matches.

What we fix and paint on Aurora window trim

Sills sanded to sound wood

Flaking and water-stained paint on sills is sanded off until the wood underneath is solid and dry.

Bare wood primed

Exposed spots get primer before the finish so moisture does not lift the new paint.

Joints sealed

The seams around the stool, stops and casing are caulked so condensation cannot run behind the paint.

Casing and apron

The rest of the window trim gets the same prep and finish so every part matches.

Doors and baseboard

Doors, frames and base in the same rooms are painted in the sheen you choose.

Sashes kept free

Glass is protected and sashes are left free to open, not painted shut.

How an Aurora trim job runs

We go window by window and door by door with you, then hand over a free written estimate before we leave. The scope spells out which sills need sanding to bare wood, where primer goes and how many finish coats each surface gets. If we find soft or rotted wood on a sill once the paint comes off, you get a written price to repair it and you approve it first. We keep the schedule we gave you and finish with a walkthrough, opening every window we worked on.

FAQ

Trim & Door Painting in Aurora: questions

Why does the paint keep peeling on my window sills?
Most of the time it is moisture. Condensation runs off the glass and soaks into the sill through cracks in the paint, and new paint over that does not hold. We sand to sound wood, prime and seal the joints first.
Is a permit needed to paint trim in Aurora?
Painting trim and doors does not normally need a permit from the City of Aurora. If the job turns into replacing windows or rebuilding sills, we check with the city and pull what applies.
Can you paint window trim in winter?
Interior window trim can be painted any time of year. Wet sills get time to dry out before we prime, and the estimate tells you how many days your windows will take.
Which towns near Aurora do you cover?
We also paint trim and doors in Montgomery, Oswego, Warrenville and Naperville.
