Addison Houses Have Their Own Character
Addison is full of post-war ranches, split-levels, and 1970s colonials. Different materials, different problems.
Post-war siding
Many Addison homes have aluminum or vinyl siding from the 50s and 60s. It fades unevenly and needs special prep before painting.
Split-level quirks
Split-levels have awkward stairwells and angled walls. We bring extension poles and ladders that fit those tight spaces.
Hard water spots
Addison's water leaves mineral deposits on exterior siding. We power wash those off before any paint touches the surface.
Older homes in Addison may have lead paint under newer layers. Our crews follow safe prep on those, which is one more reason not to hand this to somebody working out of a trunk.
How We Paint a House in Addison
Eight steps, same order every time, whether it's one room or a whole house.
Walk and measure
We check every room, look at the wall 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 the house
Furniture to the center and covered. Floors sheeted. Switch plates off.
Patch and sand
Holes filled, cracks bridged, rough spots sanded flat, dust wiped down.
Prime problems
Bare patches, stains and big color changes get primer first.
Ceilings first
Ceilings, then walls, then trim. Top down means no drips on finished work.
Second coat
Full second coat once the first has dried. This is where even color shows up.
Reset and check
Plates back, furniture returned, floors cleared, then we walk it with you.
The House Work Addison Calls Us For
Most calls fall into one of three buckets. Same crew and same prep standard on all of them.
Living space and bedrooms
Living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and stairwells. This is the core of our house painting service.
Kitchens and cabinets
Grease has to come off the walls before paint goes on. Ask about kitchen painting.
Exteriors and siding
Siding, brick, and trim. We power wash, scrape loose paint, prime bare spots, and spray or brush two coats. See exterior painting.
A Crew From Melrose Park, Not a Call Center
Our shop is at 541 Winston Dr in Melrose Park. Addison is a straight shot east, so we can usually get out for an estimate the same week you call. The person who prices your job is the person you'll see on the drop cloths.
We work DuPage County every day and we know these houses. Same crew, same prep, same price sheet whether you're on Lake Street or over by the golf course. If a spot needs a touch-up two weeks later, we're close enough to swing back.
House work often picks up a bit of outside work too. Plenty of Addison customers add exterior painting once we're already booked in.

What People Complain About, and What You End Up With
Almost every call opens with one of these. Here's the cause on the left, and here's what the house looks like when we pack up.
The problem
One coat over a darker color never covers. Looks fine wet, blotchy once it dries.
Plaster cracks smeared with lightweight filler open right back up. They need to be bridged, not covered.
Rushed cut-in leaves a wavy edge you notice every time you walk in.
What you get
Two coats, correct primer under any big color change, no shadow of the old shade.
Cracks cut out, taped and skimmed, then sanded flat. They hold through the next winter.
Ceiling lines and trim edges brushed by hand so the whole room reads sharp.
True on every Addison house we take:
What the Houses Look Like When We Leave
No roller marks on the ceiling line. No paint on the outlet covers. Furniture back where it started.
What Addison Customers Say After the Last Coat
Most of our Addison work comes from somebody a few blocks over. Read what they said about the prep, the finish and how the house looked when we cleared out.
