Trim & Door Painting in Lombard

Trim and door painting in Lombard

Before we paint a single piece of trim, we settle two things with you: the color and the sheen. Then the prep starts. Holes get filled, joints caulked, glossy paint sanded dull and old oil-based coats primed with a bonding primer. The enamel goes on by brush, roller or sprayer depending on the piece, in the number of coats the estimate names, and we finish by cutting a clean line where trim meets the wall.

We cover Lombard off I-355 and Roosevelt Road, with St. Charles Road and Main Street taking us near Lilacia Park and the Metra station in DuPage County. Sheen matters more on trim than on walls. Satin hides minor dents and reads softer, semi-gloss wipes clean and suits doors and baseboard, and gloss looks sharp but shows every flaw underneath, so it needs the most prep. If you want doors in a different color from the trim, like a black or deep green door against white casing, we tape the line at the jamb so the change is crisp.

How a Lombard trim and door job runs

You get a written estimate after we look at the house, and it names the color, the sheen and the coats for every room and door. Change your mind on a color or add a room halfway through, and we write the change up for you to approve before we act on it. The days are set up front, and we tell you which doors come down when. We walk the house with you at the end so you can check every edge.
