Exterior Painting FAQ
How do I know if my home's exterior needs to be repainted?
There are a few key signs it's time to repaint your home's exterior: fading color, peeling or flaking paint, visible cracks, or exposed wood or siding. A fresh coat not only boosts curb appeal but also protects your home from weather damage. If you're unsure, we're happy to assess your exterior and provide honest recommendations.
What kind of paint do you use for exterior jobs?
​We only use high-quality, weather-resistant paints from trusted brands. Illinois weather can be harsh — from humid summers to freezing winters — so we select paints that are specifically formulated to withstand these conditions. We’ll also help you choose the right finish and color for lasting durability and beauty.
Do you offer color consultations or help with choosing the right color?
Yes! We’re happy to help you pick a color that complements your home and stands up well over time. We can also provide sample patches so you can see how the color looks in real light on your actual surface.
What happens if the weather is bad during the project?
We keep a close eye on the forecast. If rain, extreme heat, or cold could affect the job, we’ll pause work and reschedule as needed to make sure the paint cures properly and the job meets our quality standards.
Do you power wash before painting?
When necessary, yes. We assess the condition of your home’s exterior and determine whether power washing is needed to remove dirt, mildew, or flaking paint. Proper prep is key to a long-lasting finish.
How do you protect landscaping and outdoor furniture during painting?
We take great care to protect your property. That includes covering plants, shrubs, patios, furniture, and walkways with drop cloths or plastic sheeting. We treat your home like it’s our own — with respect and attention to detail.
Can you help with small repairs before painting?
Yes, we often perform light carpentry or surface repairs before painting, such as filling cracks, replacing rotted trim, or caulking gaps. If we spot anything major, we’ll let you know and offer solutions before starting.
