Vanguard Painting works on siding, brick, wood trim, doors and gutters across Franklin Park and the rest of Cook County.
What You Get When We Paint Your House's Exterior
This is the full exterior package for every Franklin Park home we paint. Nothing is an add-on.
Dirt, mold and loose paint are washed off so the new paint actually grips the surface.
Any peeling or flaking paint is scraped off. We don't paint over old peeling layers.
Scraped areas are sanded flat so the new paint goes on with no ridges or bumps.
Any exposed wood, repaired sections or bare patches get primer before the color goes on.
Gaps around windows, doors and trim get sealed so water can't get behind the paint.
One coat never lasts. Two full coats applied with the right dry time between them.
Bushes, grass and concrete are covered or masked so paint doesn't end up where it shouldn't.
We clean the whole site, then walk it with you and fix anything you point out.

Franklin Park Exteriors Need the Right Approach
Franklin Park has a mix of home styles. Post-war brick ranches, mid-century vinyl-sided homes, and older homes with wood siding. Each one needs a different exterior painting approach.
Brick that traps moisture
Many Franklin Park homes have brick exteriors that look great but can trap moisture if painted with the wrong product. We use masonry paint that lets water vapor escape.
Vinyl siding that expands
Vinyl siding expands in summer heat and contracts in winter cold. Standard paint can crack. We use paint formulated to flex with the vinyl siding on Franklin Park homes.
Chicago freeze-thaw cycles
Exterior paint takes a beating from freeze-thaw. We use high-quality paint that expands and contracts without cracking, so it lasts through our winters.
We work on both sides of Grand Avenue and out to the industrial edge. The house materials change, but our prep standard doesn't.
How We Paint the Outside of a Franklin Park House
Same order every time, from the first estimate to the final walkaround.
Walk and measure
We look at every exterior surface, check the condition and write the price before we leave.
Pick colors
Choose your colors or we bring samples. Big swatches so you see it on your own house.
Pressure wash
We wash the whole exterior to remove dirt, mold and loose paint flakes.
Scrape and sand
Any loose or peeling paint is scraped off. Rough edges are sanded smooth.
Prime bare spots
All bare wood, repaired areas and any patches get a coat of primer.
Caulk and seal
Gaps and joints are caulked so water can't get behind the paint.
Two coats of paint
We apply two full coats of exterior paint. One coat doesn't last a Chicago winter.
Clean and walk around
We clean everything up, then walk the house with you and fix anything you see.

A Crew From Five Minutes Down Grand Avenue, Not a Call Center
Our shop is at 541 Winston Dr in Melrose Park. Franklin Park is just down Grand Avenue. That's why we can usually get out for an estimate the same week you call and why the person who prices your job is the person you'll see on the ladders.
We work the near west suburbs every day and we know these houses. Same crew, same prep, same price sheet whether you're on Pacific Street or over by the industrial park. If a spot needs a touch-up a week later, we're close enough to swing back.
Plenty of Franklin Park customers start with exterior work and add something else once we're there. Many add deck and fence staining or interior painting once we're already scheduled.

What Franklin Park Homeowners Say About Their Exteriors, and What They Get From Us
Almost every call starts with one of these exterior problems. Here's the issue on the left, and what you get on the right.
The problem
Usually because the old paint wasn't scraped and the new coat went on top of loose layers.
One coat or cheap paint. It can't handle the sun and freeze-thaw cycles.
Regular paint traps moisture behind it. It peels off in sheets once water gets in.
What you get
Scraped, sanded, primed and two coats. Handles Chicago weather without peeling.
Two coats of quality paint with UV protection. No fading after one summer.
Breathable masonry paint that lets moisture escape. No trapping water behind the paint.
