Berwyn Exteriors Face Real Weather
Berwyn's bungalows and Tudors have been through a hundred Midwestern winters. Freeze-thaw cycles, lake effect moisture and summer humidity all beat on exterior paint.
Freeze-thaw damage
Berwyn winters swing from freezing to thawing and back. That expansion and contraction cracks paint on wood siding and trim faster than in milder climates.
Brick that needs to breathe
Brick absorbs moisture and needs to release it. Using the wrong paint traps moisture and causes spalling. We use breathable masonry paint on Berwyn brick painting jobs.
High humidity summers
Humidity slows paint drying and affects how it levels out. We schedule exterior work around weather windows and use paint formulated for humid conditions.
Berwyn homes built before 1978 often have lead paint on the exterior. Our crews follow EPA lead-safe practices on every older house.

What People Complain About, and What You Get
Almost every exterior call opens with one of these complaints. Here's the cause on the left, and here's what the house looks like when we finish.
The problem
Paint applied over chalky or dirty siding fails fast. The prep work was skipped and it shows.
Loose paint hid soft wood underneath. By the time you see it, the damage is already done.
Non-breathable paint on brick traps moisture and causes the surface to flake off.
What you get
All the prep work is done first. Pressure wash, scrape, sand, prime, then paint. That's what gives you longevity.
We check every bit of trim and siding for rot before we paint. Replace what's bad, prime what's good.
Masonry paint that lets moisture escape so the brick doesn't spall. Brick painting in Berwyn done right.
