Morton Grove Siding Has Its Own Quirks
Morton Grove has a mix of 1950s ranch homes and newer two-stories. Different siding materials need different paint.
Wood siding that's been painted before
Old Morton Grove homes have layers of paint. The bottom layers can trap moisture. We take it down to the bare wood where it's peeling.
Chicago freeze-thaw cycles
Winter and spring freeze-thaw cycles make exterior paint fail. We use paint that expands and contracts with the weather. Exterior painting requires the right materials.
Vinyl and aluminum siding
Some Morton Grove homes have vinyl or aluminum. We use paint designed for those surfaces so it won't peel or chalk.
We check for lead paint before we scrape. Homes built before 1978 can have it, and we follow safe work practices when we find it.

The Siding Work Morton Grove Calls Us For
Most calls fall into one of three buckets. Same crew and same prep standard on all of them.
Wood and hardboard
Wood, hardboard and cement board siding. This is the core of our exterior painting service.
Vinyl and aluminum
Vinyl and aluminum siding needs different paint than wood. We use coating designed for those materials. See siding painting.

Homes with siding and brick both need paint. We match the colors and use the right materials for each surface. Brick painting is available.
A Crew From Melrose Park, Not a Call Center
Our shop is at 541 Winston Dr in Melrose Park. Morton Grove is a short drive, which is why we can get out for an estimate the same week you call. The person who prices your job is the person you'll see on the scaffolding.
We work the near west suburbs every day and we know these houses. Siding work takes experience with ladders and weather conditions. Same crew, same prep, same price sheet, whether you're on Davis Street or over by Kaywood Park.
We often get called for more than the siding. Plenty of Morton Grove customers add deck and fence staining or brick painting once we're already at the house.

What People Complain About, and What You End Up With

The problem
The paint is coming off in sheets. Wood is showing through and starting to rot.
The house looks washed out and gray. Sun and weather have worn the color off.
Gaps letting moisture in behind the siding.
What you get
Scraped, primed and coated properly so the new paint lasts years.
Two coats of exterior paint give the house a clean, bright look.
Caulk and sealant keeps moisture out of the gaps.
