Exterior Painting Built for Chicago

We paint all exterior surfaces — wood siding, fiber cement, brick, stucco, and vinyl — using premium weather-resistant coatings. Our process includes power washing, scraping, priming, and caulking to ensure paint adheres properly and lasts for years against freeze-thaw cycles.

Thorough Surface Preparation

We power wash, scrape loose paint, sand rough spots, and caulk gaps. Minor repairs like rotted trim are fixed before painting.

Weather-Resistant Paints

Top-quality exterior paints formulated for Chicago's climate extremes. Resists fading, peeling, and mildew for five to ten years or more.

Detail & Cleanup Focus

Crisp lines, protected landscaping, and thorough site cleanup. No paint chips or debris left behind—just a stunning new exterior.

FAQ

Exterior Painting FAQs

Common questions about our services

In Chicago, painting the exterior of an average house (1,500-2,000 sq. ft.) costs roughly $2,500 to $4,000. Larger or more complex homes can range from $5,000 up to $10,000 or more. We always provide a firm, personalized quote.

Most homes in Chicago need fresh exterior paint every 7-10 years on average. Wood siding may need repainting closer to the 5-7 year mark due to freeze-thaw cycles. Stucco or brick can often go 10+ years.

The ideal time is late spring, summer, or early fall when temperatures are mild. We generally paint exteriors between April and October, when daytime highs are between 50°F and 85°F and it's not too humid.

Not necessarily—many clients are at work while we paint outside. We just need access to the exterior and water spigot. We communicate daily on progress and can send photo updates throughout the project.

Yes—we can include additional structures in your exterior painting project. We frequently paint garages, do fence and deck staining or painting. Having it all done together creates a cohesive look and saves mobilization costs.

Absolutely. We use masonry conditioner or primer first, then high-quality masonry paint that lets the brick breathe. We also offer limewash for brick exteriors, creating a soft, distressed Old-World look that's very popular.
