Painting Contractor in Glen Ellyn, IL

Glen Ellyn holds some of the oldest housing stock in our service area: Victorians and four-squares on the streets around Lake Ellyn, 1920s and 1930s Tudors and colonials closer to the station, and mid-century ranches out past the Prairie Path. Mature trees shade most of it. From Bolingbrook we run up I-355 to Roosevelt Road, which puts a crew in town without a long haul.

Shade is the part people underestimate. North elevations under old oaks stay damp, so siding and trim there need washing and a mildew-resistant coating, not just another coat over the last one. Older interiors bring plaster, picture rails, stained woodwork somebody wants painted, and radiators to work around. We do that work, plus kitchens, baths, flooring and windows and doors, and the estimate costs nothing.

What the work usually involves in Glen Ellyn

Local housing stock decides what a project really needs. Here is what we plan for in this area.
  • Painting stained woodwork

    It is the most common question in a house of this age, and it is a one-way decision. Done properly it means cleaning off decades of polish, deglossing, a bonding primer and two brushed coats of enamel. Done quickly, the finish peels off the varnish underneath within a year.

  • Porches and high gables

    The older streets near Lake Ellyn have deep front porches: beaded ceilings, turned spindles and floors that take weather and foot traffic. Porch floors need a coating made for the job, not wall paint. Second and third-floor gable trim needs proper staging, which we plan before the ladders come off the truck.

  • Kitchens in old houses

    Remodeling a 1920s kitchen is rarely a straight swap. Floors are out of level, walls are plaster over lath, and what is behind the cabinets is not known until they come off. We open things up, see what is there, and talk through options before ordering, so the budget does not move halfway through.

FAQ

Glen Ellyn questions

More answers on the FAQ page.

Yes, with the right preparation. Varnished trim has to be cleaned, scuffed and sealed with a bonding primer before a finish coat will stick and look even. We brush the enamel rather than spray it on most older interiors, because the grain and the profiles read better with a laid-off brush finish.
