Maywood Houses Have Their Own Challenges
Maywood is filled with brick bungalows, stucco homes and pre-war two-flats built long before modern drywall. That's exactly what we're used to working on.
Plaster walls and cracks
Homes built before 1950 have plaster that cracks along seams. We don't just paint over it. We bridge the cracks with fiberglass tape and skim them flat.
Stucco exteriors
Many Maywood houses have stucco on the outside. It soaks up paint differently than siding. We use the right primer so the finish lasts through Chicago winters.
Old paint layers
Decades of paint can hide lead underneath. Our crews follow safe prep on older homes, which is one more reason to hire a licensed crew instead of a handyman.
Need more than just walls? We also handle siding, brick, and deck and fence staining for Maywood homes.
How We Paint a House in Maywood
Eight steps, same order every time, whether it's a bungalow off 5th Avenue or a two-flat near the Metra.
Walk and measure
We check every room, look at wall condition, and write the price down before we leave.
Pick your 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 removed.
Patch and sand
Holes filled, plaster cracks bridged, rough spots sanded flat and wiped down.
Prime problem areas
Bare patches, water stains and big color changes get primer first.
Paint top down
Ceilings first, then walls, then trim. Top down means no drips on finished work.
Apply 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.
What Maywood Homeowners Usually Ask For
Most calls fall into one of three buckets. Same crew and same standard on all of them.
Interior whole-house painting
Living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and stairwells. This is the core of our house painting service.
Exterior painting
Siding, stucco, brick and trim. Ask about exterior house painting in Maywood.
Rental property painting
Unit turnovers on a deadline. Neutral colors, fast schedule, invoiced work. Landlords pair it with wall repair between tenants.
A Crew From Down the Street, Not a Call Center
Our shop is at 541 Winston Dr in Melrose Park. Maywood is literally a five-minute drive down 1st Avenue. We can be at your house the same week you call, often the next day.
The person who prices your house is the person you'll see on the drop cloths. We work the near west suburbs every day and we know these houses. Same crew, same prep, same price sheet whether you're on Oak Street or by the hospital.
If you're thinking about painting more than the interior, ask about combining exterior painting with the inside work while we're already there.

Problems Maywood Homeowners Face vs. What You Get
Almost every call opens with one of these. Here's the cause on the left, and here's what your house looks like when we pack up.
What you're dealing with
One coat over a darker color never covers. Looks fine wet, blotchy once it dries.
Plaster cracks smeared with lightweight filler open 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.
