Des Plaines Siding Has Its Own Quirks
Des Plaines has a mix of mid-century ranches, split-levels and newer two-stories. The siding varies from wood to vinyl to aluminum, and each one needs a different approach.
Wood siding needs prep
Older Des Plaines homes with wood siding need scraping, sanding and priming. The prep work is what makes the paint last.
Vinyl needs the right paint
Vinyl siding expands and contracts. You need a paint that moves with it. We use exterior acrylic that doesn't crack.
Aluminum and cement siding
Aluminum needs etching primer. Cement needs masonry primer. We use the right product for each. Check our exterior painting page for more.
Illinois weather is tough on siding. We use paint that's made for the Midwest climate, not the cheapest can on the shelf.

The Siding Work Des Plaines Calls Us For
Most calls fall into one of three buckets. Same crew and same prep standard on all of them, different siding types.
Wood siding and cedar
Older Des Plaines homes with wood siding need scraping and priming. We use oil-based primer on bare wood. See exterior painting for details.
Vinyl and aluminum siding
Vinyl and aluminum need flexible paint that won't crack. We use exterior acrylic that moves with the material.
Fiber cement and HardiePlank
Fiber cement needs masonry primer. We use the right prep so paint bonds to the material. Ask about brick and masonry painting.
A Crew From Twelve Minutes Away, Not a Call Center
Our shop is at 541 Winston Dr in Melrose Park. Des Plaines is a straight shot up Route 12, 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 ladders.
We work the near west suburbs every day and we know these houses. Same crew, same prep, same price sheet whether you're on Birchwood Avenue or over near the Des Plaines River. 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 exterior work too. Plenty of Des Plaines customers add deck staining or trim 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 siding looks like when we pack up.
The problem
Old paint that's cracked and peeling lets moisture into the wood. Needs to be scraped and primed.
Vinyl and aluminum siding fades and leaves chalk on your hands. Needs a fresh coat.
The paint on trim and corners takes the worst of the weather. Gets thin first.
What you get
Proper prep, primer on bare spots, two coats of exterior paint that stands up to Illinois weather.
One uniform color, no patched spots or thin areas.
Trim, corners and windows painted crisp so the house looks new.
