New Lenox Exteriors Take a Beating
New Lenox homes face Illinois winters, spring storms and summer humidity. The paint on the outside has to hold up against all of it. Here's what we do differently.
Wood siding needs care
Older New Lenox homes with wood siding need gentle prep. Aggressive scraping can damage the wood. We work carefully and seal every exposed edge.
Brick can trap moisture
Some New Lenox houses have brick exteriors that hold water. We use breathable masonry primer so moisture escapes instead of peeling the paint.
Vinyl needs bonding primer
Newer homes with vinyl siding need special primer so paint actually sticks. We use the right products, not just exterior latex.
Weather in Will County cycles from freezing to humid within months. That's why we always use premium exterior paint rated for Midwest conditions.

The Exterior Work New Lenox Calls Us For
Most calls fall into one of three categories. Same crew and same prep standard on all of them, different surface.
Siding and trim
Vinyl, wood, hardie board. We wash, scrape, prime and coat every panel. This is the core of our siding painting service.
Brick and masonry
Brick painting needs breathable primer so moisture can escape. We do it right so it doesn't peel.
Garages and doors
Garage exteriors, front doors and shutters. See our garage painting service for more.

What People Complain About, and What You End Up With
Almost every exterior 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
No primer on bare spots. Moisture got under the new paint and lifted it off.
Gaps left uncaulked let water in. Paint failed around the frames first.
One coat over dark siding. Looks okay from far away, patchy up close.
What you get
Primed bare spots, two finish coats, premium paint rated for Midwest weather.
Every window, door and corner caulked before the first coat goes on.
Two coats applied with proper coverage. No thin spots, no shadows.
