What You Get When We Paint Your Siding
Book a siding paint job in Maywood and this is the package. None of it is an add-on we spring on you halfway through the work.
Dirt, mold and mildew blasted off the siding before a brush ever touches it.
Peeling sections scraped down to bare wood or stable surface so the new paint has something solid to bond to.
Every exposed wood or bare patch gets primer. No skipping this step.
Gaps along windows, doors and corners sealed so water can't get behind the siding.
Siding needs two coats. One coat fades in a year, two coats holds for years.
Glass and trim taped off so you don't get paint on your windows.
Ladders put away, drop cloths picked up, and we walk it with you.
Peeling, cracking or blistering? We come back and fix it.

Maywood Siding Faces Chicago Weather Head-On
Maywood homes take the full force of Chicago winters and humid summers. That's brutal on siding, and it changes how a house should be painted.
Winter freeze-thaw cycles
Maywood gets real winters. Moisture gets into cracks, freezes, expands, and pops the paint off. We use a flexible exterior paint that moves with the siding instead of cracking.
Humidity and mildew
Summer humidity around the Des Plaines River means mildew on the north side and shaded areas. We use a mildew-resistant paint that keeps it from growing back.
Mixed materials
Many Maywood homes have brick accents mixed with wood or vinyl siding. Different materials need different prep and different paint.
We've painted siding on Maywood homes for years. We know what holds up to a February freeze and what fails by the next spring. That's the difference between siding that looks good for a decade and siding that needs repainting in three years.
How We Paint Siding in Maywood
Eight steps, same order every time, whether it's a ranch off 1st Avenue or a two-story colonial.
Inspect and price
We check the siding type, condition and prep needed, then write the number down.
Power wash
Dirt, mold and loose paint blasted off the entire house. Siding left to dry for a day.
Scrape and sand
Peeling paint scraped and sanded smooth. Rusty spots on aluminum addressed.
Caulk gaps
Every seam, window and door gap sealed with exterior caulk. No open spots for water.
Prime bare spots
Exposed wood and bare sections primed so the top coat doesn't soak in unevenly.
Mask windows
Glass and trim taped off. Ladders set up on all sides.
Apply two coats
First coat rolled or sprayed on, second coat applied once the first is dry.
Clean and walk
All equipment removed, grounds cleaned, and we walk it with you to check the finish.
The Siding Maywood Homes Have That We Paint
Maywood has a mix of siding materials from different decades. Each one needs a different approach, and we do them all.
Wood and cedar siding
Wood siding is the most common on older Maywood homes. It needs scraping, priming and high-quality exterior paint that flexes with the weather.
Vinyl and aluminum
Vinyl and aluminum siding need special paint that won't peel. We use paint formulated for slick surfaces.
HardiePlank and fiber cement
Newer Maywood homes have fiber cement siding. It holds paint well but needs the right primer.

What Goes Wrong With Siding, and What You Get Instead
Almost every siding call opens with one of these. Here's the problem on the left, and here's what the house looks like when we pack up.
The problem
Sun exposure cooks the paint on the south-facing wall. It blisters and peels off in sheets after a few hot summers.
Shaded areas never dry out. Black mildew grows on the siding and regular paint doesn't kill it, it just grows through.
Old caulk around windows and doors shrinks and cracks. Water gets in, the wood rots, and the paint falls off.
What you get
UV-resistant paint with high solids content. It stays flexible and doesn't blister or crack in the sun.
Mildew-resistant paint and a proper wash kill the spores before we paint. They don't come back through the new coat.
Fresh exterior caulk at every gap. Flexible and watertight, so moisture stays out of the wall cavity.
