Trim & Door Painting in Montgomery, IL

Baseboard, trim and door painting in Montgomery

Our trim and door work covers every piece of painted wood that frames a room. We fill nail holes and dings, caulk joints, sand off gloss and grime, and use a bonding primer over oil-based paint so the new enamel holds. Doors are taken down and painted flat when it makes for a better finish, then rehung once the paint has cured. You choose the sheen, and we keep the cut line straight at the wall, the ceiling and the floor.

Montgomery is on our regular route, and we get there on Route 30, Route 31 and Orchard Road, working the Kane and Kendall County sides alike. Baseboard takes more abuse than anything else we paint, and it is the trim people notice least until it looks bad. If your base has shoe molding, the joint between the two and the line at the floor collect dirt, so we clean them before sanding and tape the floor tight. On carpet we tuck a guard under the edge so the paint lands on the base and nowhere else.

What a Montgomery baseboard and trim job covers

Scuffs washed off first

Vacuum marks and grime are washed off the base so sanding does not grind dirt into the wood.

Dings filled

Chair and toy dings are filled and sanded flush before primer.

Shoe molding included

The shoe along the floor is painted with the base, and the joint between them is caulked.

Clean floor line

Hard floors are taped tight and carpet is tucked back so paint stays on the trim.

Door casing and doors

The casing and doors in the same rooms are prepped and finished to match the base.

Sheen that stands up to mops

We recommend a sheen for the base that holds up to mops and vacuums, and you make the call.

How a Montgomery trim job goes

We walk through with you, measure the base and count the doors, and give you a free estimate in writing right there. The scope lists each room, the cleaning and prep, the primer and the finish coats. If you add another room or the stair base after the job starts, that price comes to you in writing and you approve it before we paint it. We show up on the days we said, and you look over the finished rooms with us before we pack up.

FAQ

Trim & Door Painting in Montgomery: questions

Do you paint baseboard with the carpet in place?

Yes. We tuck a guard under the carpet edge and tape where we need to, so the base gets painted all the way down without paint on the carpet.

Do I need a permit in Montgomery to paint trim?

Painting trim and doors normally needs no permit from the Village of Montgomery. If you want new baseboard or doors installed as part of the job, we check with the village and handle any permit it requires.

Can you do the baseboard a few rooms at a time?

Yes. We can work through the house room by room so you keep using the rest, and your estimate lays out the order and the days.

Do you serve towns near Montgomery?

We do. We paint trim and doors in Aurora, Oswego and Plainfield too.
