Trim & Door Painting in Woodridge, IL

Trim and door painting in Woodridge

We paint the trim and doors that a wall repaint usually skips or rushes: baseboard, casing, crown, window trim, stair rails and spindles, and doors on both sides of the house. Every piece gets the same order of work. We fill, caulk and sand, prime bare wood and old oil paint with a bonding primer, and then lay on enamel in your sheen. Interior doors come down and get painted flat where that gives a better finish.

We get to Woodridge on I-355 and I-55, then along 75th Street, Route 53 and Woodridge Drive. It is a DuPage County village next to Downers Grove, Lisle, Darien and Bolingbrook, with townhomes and single-family houses side by side. If you live in a townhome, the inside trim is yours to paint however you like, but the front door and outside trim may fall under your association's rules on color. We give you the color and sheen to submit, wait on the approval before we book the outside work, and paint the inside trim in the meantime.

What a Woodridge trim and door job covers

Front door, both faces

The entry door gets cleaned, sanded, primed where it is bare and finished on the face and all four edges.

Color details for approval

If your association needs to approve a door color, we give you the color name and sheen to send in first.

Patio and garage doors

Service doors and the trim around patio doors get the same prep and a coat made for outside.

Baseboard and casing inside

Nail holes filled, joints caulked and the old gloss sanded before the enamel goes on.

Interior doors painted flat

Doors come down, get painted on stands and go back up with the hardware once they have cured.

Lines cut by hand

Where trim meets the wall, we cut the edge with a brush so you do not get a tape ridge.

How a Woodridge job is scheduled

We set up a free visit, walk the inside and outside with you and write the estimate before we leave. It lists each door, each room of trim, the primers and the sheen. If you need association approval for the outside, that part waits until you have it, and any extra work we find is priced in writing for your approval first. We book around the days we said and go over the finished work with you.

FAQ

Trim & Door Painting in Woodridge: questions

Can you paint my townhome front door?

Yes. If your association has to approve the color, send them the color and sheen we give you, and we book the door once you hear back.

Do you work in Downers Grove and Lisle too?

Yes. We paint trim and doors in Downers Grove, Lisle and Bolingbrook with the same written estimate.

Is a permit needed in Woodridge for trim and door painting?

For the paint itself, usually not. Your association may have its own rules on outside colors, which is a separate approval from the village. If a door gets replaced, we find out what Woodridge requires and take care of the permit.

When can you paint an exterior door?

Outside doors get painted on dry days above 50 degrees, spring to fall. Inside trim and doors can be done any time of year. Call or text (815) 585-1750 to get on the schedule.

Are you insured?

Yes, we carry liability insurance. Some associations want a copy on file before outside work, and we can send the certificate to them, to you or to both.
