Back doors and baseboard that stand up to boots, dogs and regular scrubbing, painted with a finish that holds. We paint trim and doors in Palos Park.
Our crew paints baseboard, casing, crown, window trim, stair rails and doors, inside the house and out. Each piece gets cleaned, filled, caulked and sanded before primer touches it, and old oil-based paint gets a bonding primer so the new coat does not lift. We use enamel because it dries hard and takes a wet rag without wearing through. The sheen you pick goes in writing, and so does the number of coats.
We cover Palos Park, reaching it along Route 45, 123rd Street and McCarthy Road in Cook County. With wooded lots and the Palos and Sag Valley forest preserves around town, a back door can see mud, wet paws and a lot of traffic. If your back-entry doors carry dog scratches, we fill and sand the gouges smooth before painting, and we suggest a higher sheen there because it scrubs clean better. Exterior doors facing the trees get washed and checked for soft wood at the bottom rail before paint goes on.
Gouges from pets and bumps filled, sanded smooth and primed so they do not show through the paint.
A hard enamel finish on doors and baseboard so they wipe clean without dulling.
A higher sheen where hands and boots hit, and a softer one in rooms where you want less shine.
Baseboard near the back door and mudroom filled, caulked and painted with the floor masked.
Outside doors washed, checked for soft wood at the bottom and painted with an exterior enamel.
Handrails and balusters sanded, primed and painted, with the treads protected.
First we look at the trim and doors with you and write an estimate that names each door, each room, the prep and the sheen. If we find a split door stile or a rotted threshold board once the work is underway, we show it to you and write up the repair before doing it. We tell you which doors will be off and for how long, so the family and the dog can plan around it. On the last day we walk the house with you and touch up anything you point out.
Send a photo of your most beat-up door to (815) 585-1750, or call to set a time. We come out and hand you a free written estimate before any sanding.
