Glendale Heights, DuPage County

Trim & Door Painting in Glendale Heights

Entry doors and garage service doors that look new from the street, painted to hold up to sun and weather. We paint doors and trim inside and out in Glendale Heights.

Glendale Heights door and trim painting

We paint the doors and trim that frame every room and every way in and out of the house. Inside, that means baseboard, casing, crown and interior doors, filled, caulked, sanded and enameled. Outside, it means entry doors, the door from the garage to the house, frames and brick mold, all prepped for weather. Every surface gets the primer it needs before the finish coats, and the estimate names the primer, the finish and the coats.

Glendale Heights is on our regular route, with North Avenue and Army Trail Road bringing us in and Bloomingdale Road and Glen Ellyn Road getting us around town in DuPage County. If your entry door is steel, the prep is different from wood: we sand out any rust spots, prime bare metal with a metal primer and scuff the factory finish so the new coat bonds. Fiberglass doors get cleaned and lightly scuffed, then primed. Dark paint on a steel door in full sun runs hot, so we talk that through with you before you pick a color.

How a Glendale Heights door and trim job runs

We look at the doors and trim inside and out, then write an estimate that puts each exterior door on its own line apart from the interior work and names the primer and finish for each. Exterior doors are painted on dry days above 50 degrees, and we plan it so the door goes back in its frame the same day. If a frame turns out to be rotted, we show you and price the repair on paper before any work on it. A walkthrough inside and out wraps up the job.

  • Each exterior door priced on its own line

  • Frames checked for soft wood

FAQ

Trim & Door Painting in Glendale Heights: questions

Can you paint a steel front door?
Yes. We sand out rust spots, prime bare metal, scuff the factory finish and paint with an exterior enamel.
Can I close the door the same day it is painted?
Yes, the door is closed up the same day. Enamel keeps hardening for a while after, so we show you how to keep it from sticking to the weatherstrip that first week.
What time of year can you paint exterior doors?
Spring through fall, on dry days above 50 degrees. Interior doors and trim can be done in any month.
Do you serve towns near Glendale Heights?
We do, including Glen Ellyn, Bloomingdale, Carol Stream and Addison.
