What Makes Niles Exteriors Different to Paint
Niles is a village of mid-century ranches, split-levels and post-war brick homes, most built between the 1950s and 1970s. That changes how an exterior should be painted.
Aluminum siding weathers
Many Niles ranches have aluminum siding that chips and fades. We use exterior paint that bonds to metal and holds up through Chicago winters.
Old wood trim
Trim on older Niles homes often has years of paint buildup and some dry rot. We scrape back to solid wood, replace soft spots and seal before paint.
Brick needs to breathe
Brick homes in Niles need paint that allows moisture to escape. We use masonry primer and breathable paint so the brick doesn't spall over time.
Homes built before 1978 can carry lead paint under the top 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 the Outside of a Niles Home
Eight steps, same order every time, whether it's a ranch off Milwaukee Avenue or a split-level near Touhy.

We check every surface, look for rot and damage, and write the price down before we leave.

Bring your own or let us bring samples. Big swatches, on your wall, in your light.

Prime bare spots
Bare wood and metal get primer before the topcoat goes on.

A Crew From Melrose Park, Not a Call Center
Our shop is at 541 Winston Dr in Melrose Park. Niles is a short drive up Milwaukee and Waukegan, which is why 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 scaffolding.
We work the near west and northwest suburbs every day and we know these houses. Same crew, same prep, same price sheet whether you're on Ozark Avenue or over by the Golf Mill area. If a spot needs a touch-up later, we're close enough to swing back.
Exterior work often picks up some inside work too. Plenty of Niles customers add house painting or cabinet 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 exterior looks like when we pack up.
The problem
Loose paint scraped but not sanded or primed. Next freeze, it lifts again.
Old caulk shrinks and cracks, letting water behind the siding.
Cheap paint breaks down under the sun, leaving a chalky film.
What you get
Scraped to a solid edge, sanded, primed and two coats of exterior grade paint.
All gaps caulked and sealed before paint goes on, keeping water out.
UV resistant paint that keeps its color and doesn't chalk.
