Elmwood Park Siding Has Its Own Challenges
Elmwood Park has a mix of siding materials, from 1950s wood and aluminum to modern vinyl and hardie. Each one needs a different prep method.
Wood siding that's been painted before
Older wood siding in Elmwood Park often has layers of old paint that crack and peel. We scrape it all and prime the bare wood before the finish coat.
Vinyl that's faded
Vinyl siding fades unevenly in the sun. We use paint designed for vinyl that bonds without warping or peeling.
Hardie board and fiber cement
Newer Elmwood Park homes have hardie board. It's a great material but needs an acrylic primer and paint that's rated for fiber cement.
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 Siding in Elmwood Park
Eight steps, same order every time, whether it's one wall or a full home exterior.
Walk and measure
We check every wall, look at the siding type, and write the price down before we leave.
Power wash
All siding washed to remove dirt, mildew and chalky oxidation.
Scrape and sand
Flaking paint scraped off and edges sanded for a smooth transition.
Prime bare spots
Exterior primer on every bare spot so the top coat bonds properly.
Caulk gaps
Gaps around windows and doors recaulked to keep water out.
First coat
Top coat rolled or sprayed on, depending on the siding type.
Second coat
Full second coat once the first has dried. This is where even color shows up.
Cleanup and check
Yard cleaned, landscaping reset, then we walk it with you.

A Crew From Eight Minutes Away, Not a Call Center

We work the near west suburbs every day and we know these houses. Same crew, same prep, same price sheet whether you're on Conti Parkway or over by the Metra tracks. If a spot needs a touch-up two weeks later, we're close enough to swing back.
Siding work often picks up a bit of other work too. Plenty of Elmwood Park customers add deck and fence staining or interior painting once we're already booked in.

What People Complain About, and What You End Up With
Almost every siding 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
Dirt and mildew left on the siding before painting prevents the new coat from bonding properly.
Oxidation on vinyl and aluminum that rubs off on your hands. Paint won't stick to chalky surfaces.
Old caulk around windows and doors lets water in, which bubbles the paint.
What you get
Power washing and priming mean the top coat bonds to the siding. No peeling within a year.
Two coats of exterior paint on clean, primed siding means the color stays rich and even.
Gaps around windows and doors recaulked so water stays out and paint stays on.
