Kenilworth Painting Services
Painting Specialists in Kenilworth
Kenilworth is Illinois' most exclusive village—a planned community founded in 1889 with fewer than 1,000 homes within its 0.6 square miles. Joseph Sears' vision for an ideal village included large lots, underground utilities, no alleys or fences, and the highest construction standards. Today, Kenilworth homeowners expect the same exacting quality in every service they engage.
Kenilworth boasts the largest collection of buildings by George W. Maher, who designed approximately 37 homes in the village. A contemporary of Frank Lloyd Wright, Maher's work defines much of Kenilworth's character. The village also features notable Franklin Burnham designs, including the railroad station and Kenilworth Union Church. Every lot meets minimum 100 by 175-foot requirements, preserving the planned, low-density character.
Kenilworth's architectural significance means paint colors and exterior changes may receive scrutiny. Homeowners here expect flawless execution befitting properties valued well above $1 million. Our crews understand that in Kenilworth, there is no margin for error—every detail must be perfect.
