Berwyn Siding Has Its Own Challenges
Berwyn is a city of bungalows, Victorians and two-flats, many built between 1910 and 1950. That means old wood siding, layers of paint and the occasional asbestos shingle underneath. Here's what we handle on every job.
Old wood siding
Many Berwyn homes have original cedar or pine lap siding. It expands and contracts in our weather. We use flexible caulk and paint with elastomeric properties to move with the wood.
Lead paint layers
Homes built before 1978 often have lead paint buried under newer coats. We follow EPA-safe lead practices for scraping and cleanup on exterior painting in Berwyn.
Bungalow dormers
Those roofline dormers on Berwyn bungalows are awkward to reach. We use scaffolding and lifts so every square inch gets painted properly.
Fiber cement siding shows up on newer Berwyn homes too. We use the right primer and paint so it holds up through the cold winters and humid summers.
How We Paint Siding on a Berwyn Home
Eight steps, same order every time, whether it's a bungalow off Wesley Avenue or a two-story on Oak Park Avenue.
Measure and assess
We check every wall, look at siding condition, and write the price down before we leave.
Power wash
Dirt and mildew washed off. We let it dry completely before moving to prep.
Scrape loose paint
Any flaking or peeling paint scraped off and edges sanded smooth.
Caulk and patch
Gaps caulked, nail heads set, and damaged boards patched or replaced.
Prime bare spots
Raw wood and patched areas primed so the top coat bonds properly.
First coat
Sprayed on, then backbrushed into the grain for proper adhesion.
Second coat
Full second coat once the first has dried. This is where even color shows up.
Cleanup and walk
Drop cloths collected, paint chips removed, then we walk it with you.
The Siding Work Berwyn Calls Us For
Most calls fall into one of three buckets. Same crew and same prep standard on all of them, different material.
Wood lap siding
Classic Berwyn bungalow siding. We scrape, prime and paint with elastomeric paint that moves with the wood.
Fiber cement
HardiePlank and other cement board siding. We prime with the right product and paint so it holds up.
Aluminum and vinyl
Older aluminum siding and vinyl get painted with the right adhesion primer so the new coat doesn't peel.
A Crew From Melrose Park, Not a Call Center
Our shop is at 541 Winston Dr in Melrose Park. Berwyn is a straight shot down Harlem, which is why we can usually get out for an estimate the same week you call. The person who prices your job 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 Grove Avenue or over by the Berwyn train station. If a spot needs a touch-up two weeks later, we're close enough to swing back.
Exterior work often pairs with other needs. Plenty of Berwyn customers add deck and fence staining or brick painting once we're already booked in.

What People Complain About, and What You End Up With
Almost every 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
Old paint scraped but not primed. Moisture gets under the new coat and it starts peeling in the first winter.
Sun exposure fades paint differently on each wall. One side looks washed out while the other still looks fresh.
Siding cleaned but not treated. Mildew grows back through the new paint within a season.
What you get
Proper prep, primer and two coats of top quality paint. No shortcuts on the south side.
Primer evens out the surface and two coats give you a consistent finish on every side.
Washed with mildewcide and painted with a product that resists growth. Stays clean.

What the Siding Looks Like When We Leave
No missed spots under the eaves. No paint on the windows. Clean lines and even color.
