Door and trim painting in Bolingbrook

Doors are where a rushed paint job shows first, with runs in the panels and brush marks across the rails. We take doors off their hinges when it gives a better result, lay them flat and paint them so the enamel levels out instead of sagging. The trim around them, the baseboard and the window casing get filled, caulked and sanded before primer. Old oil-based coats get a bonding primer, and the finish goes on in the sheen you pick.

Bolingbrook is on our regular route off I-55, and we get around town on Boughton Road, Weber Road and Veterans Parkway. If your doors are six-panel, every recessed panel has edges that catch paint, so we brush those first and finish the flat rails and stiles after. Hollow-core doors get the same care as solid ones, since a drip shows on either. We set the order before we start, so bathroom and bedroom doors are the first ones back on their hinges.

What we paint on a Bolingbrook door job

Doors laid flat

Doors come off the hinges and are painted horizontal so the enamel flows level and does not run.

Panels before flats

Recessed panel edges are brushed first, then the rails and stiles are finished in the direction of the grain.

Every edge sealed

The top, bottom and side edges get paint too, which keeps moisture out of the door.

Jambs and stops

The frame, stop and casing around each opening are filled, caulked and painted to match the door.

Baseboard and window casing

The rest of the trim in the room is sanded, primed where needed and painted in the same sheen.

Rehung and adjusted

Doors go back on their hinges once cured, with knobs and strikes reinstalled and the latch checked.

How a Bolingbrook door and trim job goes

We count your doors and walk the trim with you, then write up a free estimate on the spot. The estimate lists which doors come down, the prep, the primer and the coats, so you know exactly what you are paying for. If you decide to add the closet doors or the garage entry door partway through, we price it in writing and wait for your yes. We keep to the days we booked and finish with a walkthrough where every door gets opened and closed in front of you.

FAQ

Trim & Door Painting in Bolingbrook: questions

Should my doors be sprayed or brushed?

Either can look good. On a door laid flat, a brushed and rolled enamel levels out well, and on some jobs spraying gives the smoothest result. We tell you which one fits your doors when we look at them.

Is a permit needed to paint doors in Bolingbrook?

Painting doors and trim does not normally need a permit from the Village of Bolingbrook. If the job grows into new prehung doors with frame work, we check with the village first and pull what applies.

How soon are my doors back up?

Each door stays down until the paint is hard enough to hang without marking. You get the order before we start, and the doors you use most go back first.

Do you paint doors in towns near Bolingbrook?

Yes. We also paint trim and doors in Romeoville, Woodridge, Darien and Lemont.
