Window trim and crown in your Hanover Park home with tight joints and no gaps against the wall. We close the cracks before we paint so the lines stay clean.
Trim and door painting means everything wooden that frames a wall or an opening: baseboard, casing, crown, window stools and aprons, stair rails and the doors. We start by filling, caulking and sanding, and we use a bonding primer over old oil-based finishes. Enamel goes on in the sheen you choose and gets cut to a crisp edge against the wall color. Doors are taken down and painted flat when that gives a smoother face, then rehung once cured.
Hanover Park is on our regular route, reached on Irving Park Road, Barrington Road and Lake Street and around the Metra station, on the Cook and DuPage County sides alike. Houses settle and wood moves with the seasons, so the joint where crown meets the ceiling, or where casing meets the wall, opens into a dark line. We cut out the old cracked caulk, fill the gap and caulk it fresh before any paint. Window stools take condensation in winter, so where the paint has lifted on yours, we sand it back and prime the bare wood first.
Old caulk that has cracked along the ceiling and wall gets cut out and replaced with a flexible caulk.
Sills inside the windows get sanded where moisture lifted the paint, then primed and enameled.
The gap where door and window casing has pulled from the wall gets filled and caulked before paint.
Corners where two pieces of trim meet get filled and sanded so the joint disappears under the enamel.
Baseboard and shoe get cleaned, filled and painted with the floor masked along every wall.
Doors get sanded, primed where needed and enameled, inside year round and outside on dry days above 50 degrees.
We stop by for a free look and leave a written estimate covering each room's trim, the windows, the doors, the prep and the sheen. If a window stool turns out to be soft or rotted under the paint, we show you and price the fix in writing before we touch it. We pick the dates with you and stick to them. A walkthrough at the end lets you point out anything that needs another pass.
