Trim & Door Painting in Glen Ellyn

Trim, window and door painting in Glen Ellyn

Trim and door painting includes the window trim people tend to forget until it peels: the casing, the stool, the apron and on many windows the sash itself. We clean and sand each surface, fill and caulk, prime bare wood and old oil paint, and finish in enamel. Doors and baseboard get the same prep. Glass, hardware and floors are masked so paint only goes where it belongs.

Glen Ellyn is on our regular route, in on Roosevelt Road and Route 53 and around Main Street, Lake Ellyn and the Metra station in DuPage County. If your house has wood windows with painted sashes, old paint may have glued them shut along the stops. We cut those paint lines free, paint the sash with the window cracked open and work it once it is dry so it does not seal itself again. Sills that take full afternoon sun get extra attention, since that is where paint cracks and lets water into the wood.

What we paint on a Glen Ellyn trim job

How a Glen Ellyn trim job runs

We walk the house and write an estimate that counts the windows, doors and rooms and lists the prep for each, including any sashes that need to be freed. If a sill turns out to be soft or a sash cord is broken, we show you and price the repair on paper, and nothing extra happens without your approval. We plan the days so you know which rooms are in work. Before we leave, we walk every room with you and open the windows we painted to show they still move.
