Vernon Hills Siding Has Its Own Quirks
Vernon Hills has a mix of siding types from the 70s through today. Vinyl, wood, hardie, and some aluminum. Each one needs a different approach.
Vinyl that's chalky
Old vinyl siding oxidizes and gets chalky. Paint won't stick to that. We wash it with a detergent that removes the chalk before we paint.
Wood siding with rot
Some Vernon Hills homes have cedar or pine siding that's aged. We replace rotted boards or fill them with exterior wood filler before painting.
Hardie cement board
Cement board siding is common in newer builds. It needs a special primer and paint that bonds to the surface. We use the right product for painting siding in Vernon Hills.
If your siding has lead paint, we follow safe prep procedures and use containment. That's the law and we follow it.

The Siding Vernon Hills Calls Us For
We paint every type of siding. Here are the three most common calls we get.
Vinyl and aluminum siding
Old vinyl and aluminum that's chalky or faded. We wash, prep and paint with vinyl-safe paint. Often paired with exterior painting for the whole house.
Wood and cedar siding
Natural wood needs primer and careful prep. We scrape, sand and prime before paint goes on.
Hardie and cement board
Cement board siding is durable but needs the right paint. We use masonry primer and exterior acrylic. See our brick painting page for masonry work.

What People Complain About, and What You End Up With
Almost every siding call opens with one of these. Here's the problem on the left, and here's what your house looks like when we pack up.
The problem
Vinyl expands and contracts with heat. Regular paint can't stretch, so it cracks and peels.
Old caulk cracks and lets moisture behind the siding. Paint fails around every joint.
Cheap paint fades in the sun and leaves the house looking washed out.
What you get
Vinyl-safe paint stays flexible so it doesn't crack when the siding moves.
We scrape and recaulk every seam and corner so water stays out.
UV-resistant paint holds its color through Vernon Hills summers and winters.
