House Painting Prices in Berwyn

Berwyn Houses Have Their Own Character
Berwyn is packed with Chicago-style bungalows, California bungalows and Tudor revival homes, most built between 1910 and 1940. That changes how a house should be painted.
Original plaster walls
Most Berwyn homes have lath and plaster behind the walls. It cracks along the seams and needs proper patching before paint goes on, not just a quick smear.
Oak trim that's been covered
Tudor-style houses have thick oak baseboards and door casings that have been painted over a dozen times. We sand back the buildup so the details show again.
Brick exteriors that breathe
Berwyn's brick bungalows need paint that lets moisture escape. Brick painting in Berwyn requires the right prep and breathable paint or we don't touch it.
Homes built before 1978 often have lead paint under the surface. Our crews follow safe prep protocols on every older house.
How We Paint a House in Berwyn
Eight steps, same order every time, whether it's a bungalow on Cuyler or a two-flat on Kenilworth.
Walk and measure
We check every room, inspect the wall condition and write the price down.
Pick your colors
Bring your own or we bring samples. Big swatches on your wall in your light.
Protect everything
Furniture to the center and covered. Floors sheeted. Switch plates off.
Patch and sand
Holes filled, cracks bridged, rough spots sanded flat and wiped down.
Prime where needed
Stains, bare patches and color changes get primer before the topcoat.
Paint top down
Ceilings, then walls, then trim. Nothing drips onto finished work.
Second coat
Full second coat once the first has dried. This is where even color shows.

What People Complain About, and What You Get
Almost every call opens with one of these complaints. Here's the cause on the left, and here's what the house looks like when we pack up.
The problem
One coat over a darker shade never covers properly. Looks fine wet, blotchy when it dries.
Cheap filler smeared over cracks just opens back up within a year. The crack needs to be bridged properly.
Rushed cut-in leaves a line you notice every time you walk into the room.
What you get
Two coats with proper primer underneath. No shadow of the old shade anywhere.
Cracks cut out, taped and skimmed flat. They hold through winter expansion and contraction.
Ceiling lines and trim edges brushed by hand so the whole room reads sharp and clean.
True on every Berwyn house we take:
