Antioch Homes Have Their Own Character
Antioch sits on the Chain O'Lakes, with homes ranging from lakefront cottages to newer subdivisions and everything in between. That mix changes how a house should be painted.
Lakefront moisture
Homes near the Chain O'Lakes deal with extra humidity. Exterior paint needs proper primer and topcoats that stand up to the lake breeze and dampness.
Older lake cottages
Many Antioch cottages have cedar shake siding or older wood that's absorbed moisture. We scrape, prime and seal before painting so the new coat lasts.
Newer subdivisions
Fresh drywall and smooth siding are common in newer neighborhoods. We focus on clean edges and even sheen so the work looks factory-fresh.
Homes built before 1978 may contain lead paint under the surface. Our crews follow safe prep on those jobs, which is one reason to hire a licensed company.
How We Paint a House in Antioch
Eight steps, same order every time, whether it's a one-bedroom cottage or a four-bed subdivision house.
Walk and measure
We check every room and exterior surface, look at the condition, and write the price down before we leave.
Pick colors
Bring your own or let us bring samples. Big swatches, on your wall, in your light.
Protect everything
Furniture and floors covered inside. Landscaping and driveways covered outside.
Prep surfaces
Holes filled, cracks bridged, rough spots sanded, dust wiped down.
Prime problems
Bare patches, water stains and big color changes get primer first.
Paint from top down
Ceilings, then walls, then trim inside. Outside, we work top to bottom.
Second coat
Full second coat after the first dries. This is where even color shows up.
Reset and check
Plates back, furniture returned, floors cleared, then we walk it with you.

What People Complain About, and What You End Up With
Almost every call opens with one of these. Here's what you get instead.
The problem
One coat over a darker color never covers. Looks fine wet, blotchy once it dries.
Rushed work leaves streaks and lines you notice every time you walk in.
Layers of paint on trim have filled in the detail. It looks lumpy and old.
What you get
Two coats, correct primer under any big color change, no shadow of the old shade.
No roller marks, no drips, no paint on the floors or outlet covers.
Sanded smooth before painting so the profile and detail show again.
True on every Antioch house we take:
What Your House Looks Like When We Leave
No roller marks. No paint on the floors. Furniture back where it started.
