Painting Specialists in Western Springs
Western Springs' iconic 1892 Water Tower—a Romanesque Revival landmark on the National Register—symbolizes this village's commitment to preserving its unique character. The hand-quarried Naperville limestone tower stands 112 feet tall, a reminder of when natural springs gave the village its name. Today, Western Springs maintains that small-town charm through thoughtful stewardship of its historic homes and welcoming streetscapes.
The village developed in the late 19th century, with many historic homes near the Water Tower and Grand Avenue reflecting Victorian-era styles. These homes feature decorative millwork, wrap-around porches, and the ornate details characteristic of the period. Newer areas offer a range of architectural styles, all maintaining the village's commitment to quality and character.
Western Springs' historic character means many homes have original wood siding, decorative trim, and architectural details that require careful, skilled work. The village's identity is tied to maintaining this character—homeowners appreciate painters who understand and respect the preservation mindset while delivering modern protection.

Western Springs Painting Considerations
Every community has unique factors that affect paint performance. Here's how we address Western Springs's specific challenges.
Historic Trim Preservation
Western Springs' Victorian and historic homes feature decorative millwork—brackets, spindles, corbels—that cannot be replaced if damaged during painting.
Our crews use hand-scraping techniques, careful sanding, and appropriate primers. We never use aggressive prep methods on historic trim.
Multi-Color Victorian Schemes
Victorian homes often featured three or more colors highlighting different architectural elements. Restoring these schemes requires careful planning.
We research period-appropriate color combinations and provide detailed color mapping that identifies where each color should appear.
Village Aesthetic Harmony
Western Springs' charming streetscapes benefit from color choices that complement neighboring homes while expressing individual character.
