Trim & Door Painting in Clarendon Hills

Clarendon Hills door and trim painting

A door painted standing up shows every sag and run, so where it gives a better finish we take the door down and paint it lying flat. Hinges come off and get bagged with the door they belong to, and each door is marked so it goes back in the same opening. While the doors cure, we work the jambs, casing and baseboard in place: filled, caulked, sanded and primed where needed, then enameled. Once the paint is hard enough to handle, the doors go back up and the hardware goes back on.

We cover Clarendon Hills from Ogden Avenue and Route 83, with 55th Street and the Metra station close by in DuPage County. Doors are often what makes trim work look finished or not, because they sit at eye level and get handled every day. On a panel door, each recess has to be brushed out before the flat faces are rolled or sprayed, or the paint pools in the corners and sags. We plan the order so you know which doors are off on which day, and bathroom doors go back up first.

What door and trim painting in Clarendon Hills covers

From estimate to rehung doors in Clarendon Hills

Our estimate counts the doors, names the trim in each room and spells out the prep and the enamel, all on paper before we start. Anything we find that is not on it, like a cracked door panel or a loose jamb, gets shown to you and priced in writing, and nothing extra happens until you approve it. We tell you up front how long the doors will be off so you can plan the days around it. On the last day we check every door for swing and latch and walk the trim with you.
