Stair rails, spindles and trim with smooth, even paint you can run your hand along. Our crew paints trim and doors throughout Palos Heights.
Trim and door painting is about the details a roller cannot reach: the profile of a casing, the edge of a door, the gaps between spindles. We fill, caulk and sand first, prime bare wood and anything glossy, then lay on an enamel that dries hard. Where it gives a better finish, doors come down and get painted flat, and they go back up once cured. The line where trim meets wall is cut by hand so it stays straight.
Palos Heights is on our regular route; Route 83 and Harlem Avenue bring us in, and 127th Street and Ridgeland Avenue get us across town in Cook County. If your house has a staircase with painted spindles and a handrail, that is often the slowest part of a trim job, because every baluster has four sides plus a top and bottom to cut in. We sand the handrail smooth, prime it and give it an enamel that stands up to hands sliding along it. Treads and carpet get covered so only the rail and spindles see paint.
Rails sanded smooth, primed and finished with a hard enamel that holds up to daily hands.
Every side of every spindle brushed out, with drips caught before they dry.
Posts filled at old dents and joints, caulked where they meet the floor and painted.
Skirt boards and risers painted with treads and carpet masked off.
Door and window casing and baseboard filled, caulked and enameled through the house.
Interior doors painted on both faces and all edges, flat where that gives a better finish.
We walk the house with you, count the spindles, doors and rooms, and write all of it into a free estimate along with the prep and the enamel. If something turns up that was not in the scope, like a loose baluster or a cracked rail joint, we show you, price the fix on paper and wait for your OK. Stair rails are scheduled so you know which days to keep your hands off them. We finish with a walkthrough of every room and the staircase.
