Trim & Door Painting in La Grange, IL

Front door and trim painting in La Grange

La Grange is on our regular route, and our trim and door work runs from the front door through the house: entry and interior doors, baseboard, casing, crown, window trim, stair rails and spindles. We clean, fill, caulk and sand every piece, and prime bare wood and old oil paint with a bonding primer. Interior doors come down and get painted flat where that helps the finish. The enamel goes on in the sheen you choose.

We reach La Grange by I-294, Ogden Avenue, La Grange Road and 47th Street, with downtown La Grange built around its Metra station. It is a Cook County village bordering La Grange Park, Western Springs and Hinsdale. If you want your front door a new color, the outside face has to be painted on a dry day above 50 degrees, so we book it around the weather from spring to fall. The door gets cleaned, sanded, primed where the wood is bare and painted in thin coats so it does not stick to the weatherstrip when it closes. The trim inside the house can be done any time of year.

What La Grange door and trim painting covers

Front door in a new color

The entry door gets cleaned, sanded and primed, then painted in thin coats on the outside face and edges.

Painted on the right day

Exterior door work waits for a dry day above 50 degrees so the paint cures the way it should.

Weatherstrip kept clean

We mask the weatherstrip and tell you how long to wait before the door closes tight against it.

Exterior casing and brick mold

The trim around the front door gets scraped, primed where bare and painted to match or contrast.

Interior trim any season

Baseboard, casing, crown and interior doors can be scheduled year round.

Bonding primer over oil

Older oil-based paint inside or out gets a bonding primer before the new enamel.

How a La Grange door and trim job runs

We come out, look at the doors and trim with you and write a free estimate before we leave. It lists the front door, the inside trim and doors, the prep, the colors and the sheen. If the door has soft wood at the bottom or a split panel, that repair is priced in writing and waits for your approval. We book around the days we said, with outside work set for good weather, and we look over the finished doors with you.

FAQ

Trim & Door Painting in La Grange: questions

When is the best time to paint a front door?

Spring to fall, on a dry day above 50 degrees. We schedule exterior doors around the weather and do inside trim the rest of the year.

Do you paint doors in La Grange Park and Western Springs?

Yes. We paint front doors and trim in La Grange Park, Western Springs and Hinsdale with the same written estimate.

Do I need a permit in La Grange to paint my front door?

Repainting your front door is not usually permit work. Putting in a new entry door may be, and if you go that route, we find out what La Grange requires and file for it ahead of the install.

How long before my front door can close?

The door can usually close the same evening, and we tell you how long to keep it from sealing tight against the weatherstrip while the enamel hardens. Call or text (815) 585-1750 with a photo of your door to get started.

Are you insured?

Yes. Ask for our liability insurance certificate and we will email it before the front door work is booked.
