Cicero Siding Has Its Own Challenges
Cicero has a mix of wood bungalows, aluminum-sided two-flats, and newer vinyl siding. Each material needs different prep and paint.
Wood siding that's been painted over
Many older Cicero homes have wood siding with seven or eight layers of paint. We scrape the loose stuff and prime the bare spots so the new coat lasts.
Aluminum siding from the 60s
Aluminum doesn't need primer the way wood does, but it needs to be clean and etched first. We pressure wash and use the right bonding primer.
Vinyl siding that's gone chalky
Old vinyl siding gets chalky and won't hold paint. We clean it with the right detergent and apply vinyl-safe paint that flexes with the material.
If your wood siding was built before 1978, the old paint layers may contain lead. We follow EPA lead-safe practices when scraping and sanding these homes.

For pre-78 homes, we test the old paint before we start scraping.

The Siding Work Cicero Calls Us For
Most calls fall into one of three buckets. Same crew and same prep standard on all of them.
Wood and vinyl bungalows
Single-family homes with wood or vinyl siding. This is the core of our exterior painting service, and where most Cicero siding work begins.
Two-flats and apartments
Aluminum and vinyl siding on multi-unit buildings. Painted the same way with the same materials.
Commercial and mixed-use
Storefronts and offices with siding. Worked after hours so you don't lose business time.
A Crew Twelve Minutes Away, Not a Call Center
Our shop is at 541 Winston Dr in Melrose Park. Cicero is a short run down 16th Street, which is why we can usually get out for an estimate the same week you call. The person who prices your siding is the person you'll see on the scaffolding.
We work the near west suburbs every day and we know these houses. Same crew, same prep, same price sheet whether you're on 54th Avenue or over by Cicero Community Park. If a spot needs a touch-up two weeks later, we're close enough to swing back.
Siding painting often picks up a bit of other exterior work too. Plenty of Cicero customers add deck and fence staining or brick painting once we're already booked in.

What Cicero Homeowners Complain About with Their Siding
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
Cheap paint or bad prep fails after the freeze-thaw cycle. Looks worse than before you painted.
Old vinyl siding oxidizes and gets chalky. Paint peels off in sheets unless it's cleaned properly.
Old caulk shrinks and cracks, letting water into the walls. The siding looks good but the trim is a mess.
What you get
Two coats of exterior-grade paint, applied to clean, prepped siding. It stands up to the freeze and thaw.
Pressure washed, etched if needed, and primed. The new coat bonds to the surface instead of sitting on top.
All gaps caulked, windows and doors sealed, so the house looks tight and reads clean.

What the Houses Look Like When We Leave
No peeling paint. No chalky spots. No caulk gaps at the corners.
What Cicero Customers Say After the Siding Is Painted
