We pick up every drop cloth and walk the building with you.

Maywood Brick Has Its Own Challenges
Maywood has a lot of mid-century brick ranches, older Chicago-style brick two-flats, and commercial buildings on Madison Street. Brick here takes a beating from Lake Michigan moisture and freeze-thaw cycles.
Freeze-thaw spalling
Water gets into tiny cracks in the brick, freezes, and pushes the face off. We fix the spalled brick before painting so the new coat doesn't hide weak spots.
Efflorescence stains
White chalky salt deposits are common on Maywood brick. We remove them with a masonry cleaner and seal the surface so they don't come back.
Mixed brick colors
Homes built over time have mismatched brick from different batches. We prime and coat the whole facade so it reads as a single uniform color. If you're also doing siding painting, we can match the color family.
Some Maywood homes have lead paint on the trim or old paint on the brick from decades ago. Our crews handle that with the right prep and containment.

What Maywood Homeowners Complain About, and What They Get
These are the brick problems people call us about. Here's what we leave behind when we finish.
The problem
Old paint is peeling in one spot, bare brick in another. The house looks neglected.
Regular wall paint was used on the brick. It traps moisture and pops off.
One side of the house took the sun differently, so the brick looks like two different colors.
What you get
We batch the paint and apply it evenly, so every side of the house reads the same.
This kind of paint stretches with the brick and lets moisture out, so it doesn't peel.
Water beads up on the new surface instead of soaking in. That stops efflorescence and freeze damage.
