Exterior Painting

A professional exterior painting job is the most impactful way to enhance your home’s curb appeal, instantly boosting its beauty and value. However, a truly great paint job is about more than just color. It’s a protective shield for your home’s exterior. In Lemont, where seasonal weather can be demanding, the longevity of that shield depends almost entirely on the quality of the preparation beneath the surface. Peeling, blistering, and premature fading are all symptoms of a paint job where the prep work was rushed or handled incorrectly.

We understand that a flawless finish can only be achieved on a flawless canvas. Our expertise in masonry, stucco, and concrete means we address underlying surface issues that other painters might ignore or cover up.

A Superior Paint Job Starts with Meticulous Preparation

Anyone can apply paint, but it takes a craftsman to make it last. Our painting process is exhaustive because we know that long-term durability is achieved before a can of paint is ever opened. We don’t cut corners—we perfect surfaces.

1. Thorough Cleaning & Debris Removal: We begin by power washing the exterior to remove all dirt, mildew, and chalky residue, which ensures maximum paint adhesion.
2. Expert Surface Repair: We scrape and sand any peeling or failing paint. We caulk gaps in trim, fill holes, and, most importantly, use our deep expertise to properly repair any damaged wood, stucco, or masonry.
3. Substrate-Specific Priming: We apply high-quality primers specifically chosen for your home’s surfaces, whether it’s siding, brick, or stucco. This crucial step seals the surface, blocks stains, and creates the ideal foundation for the topcoat.
4. Flawless Finish Coat Application: Our skilled painters apply premium paint with precision, ensuring complete and uniform coverage for a beautiful, long-lasting finish and maximum protection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Exterior Painting

How often should a house be painted in the Lemont area?

This depends on the surface and the quality of the previous paint job. Generally, wood siding may need painting every 5-7 years, while a properly painted stucco or brick exterior can last 15-20 years. We can provide a specific recommendation based on your home’s condition during our free estimate.

Can you paint brick? Is it a good idea?

Yes, you can absolutely paint brick, and it can be a fantastic way to update your home’s look. It is a good idea *if* it is done correctly. The brick must be thoroughly cleaned and prepared, and a high-quality, breathable masonry paint must be used to prevent trapping moisture. When done professionally, a painted brick exterior is incredibly durable and beautiful.

What is the best time of year for exterior painting?

The ideal conditions for exterior painting are dry days with low humidity and temperatures consistently between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. In Lemont, this typically means the best seasons are late spring, summer, and early fall. We schedule projects carefully to ensure the weather cooperates for a perfect, long-lasting cure.
