Trim and door painting in New Lenox

Trim and door painting is detail work, and we schedule it with enough time to do it right. We fill nail holes, caulk joints, sand glossy paint dull and prime with a bonding primer over oil-based finishes. Then the enamel goes on in your sheen, with straight lines against the wall. Doors come down when painting them flat gives the better result, and everything goes back together once they have cured.

We cover New Lenox on I-80, Route 30, Cedar Road and Laraway Road, and over by the Old Plank Road Trail. If a past paint job left your hinges and strike plates coated, we strip that paint so the hinges move freely and the latch catches again. On our jobs, hardware comes off or gets masked every time, and the screws go back into the same holes. When a door has sagged and rubs at the top corner, we tighten or reset the hinges before it gets painted so it hangs square.

What a New Lenox trim and door job includes

Hardware off or masked

Knobs, hinges, strikes and stops are removed or covered, never painted over.

Old paint stripped from hinges

Hinges and plates caked from an earlier job are cleaned so they work and look right.

Sagging doors reset

Loose hinge screws are tightened or set in fresh wood so the door hangs square before paint.

Prep for the enamel

Gloss is sanded off, holes are filled and joints are caulked so the finish bonds.

Doors painted flat

Doors are taken down, laid flat and finished on both faces and edges where it gives a better result.

Latches tested

Every door is rehung and closed to check the latch before we call it done.

How a New Lenox job comes together

We walk the house with you, open every door, check the hinges and latches, and write a free estimate before we leave. The scope covers the prep, primer, coats and any hinge or latch repair. If something new turns up, like a cracked jamb behind a strike plate, we price the fix in writing and wait for your okay. We book around the days we said, and at the end we test every door with you.

FAQ

Trim & Door Painting in New Lenox: questions

Can you fix hinges that were painted over?

Yes. We take them off, strip the old paint and put them back so they swing and look right. If you would rather replace them, we can hang new hinges in the same finish as your knobs.

Do I need a permit in New Lenox to paint doors?

Painting trim and doors does not normally need a permit from the Village of New Lenox. If the job grows to new doors and frames, we check with the village and pull what applies.

How long are doors off the hinges?

Until the enamel has hardened enough that it will not stick to the stops or mark when handled. You get a plan before we start that shows which doors come down on which day.

Do you work in towns around New Lenox?

We do. We paint trim and doors in Mokena, Frankfort, Homer Glen and Joliet too.
