Oak Lawn Siding Has Its Own Challenges
Oak Lawn homes range from 1950s ranches to 1990s two-stories. The siding types and conditions vary, and the weather here is tough on exterior paint.
Freeze-thaw cycles
Illinois winters freeze and thaw all season. That cracks paint and pulls it off wood siding. We use paint that flexes and holds through the cycles.
Vinyl that's faded
Older vinyl siding fades unevenly. We use vinyl-safe paint that won't warp the panels and gives you a uniform color.
Wood that's weathered
Wood siding on older Oak Lawn homes gets dry and cracked. We replace rotted boards, prime everything and paint it so it lasts.
If your siding has lead paint (homes built before 1978), we follow safe prep procedures. We test before we start and handle it properly.
How We Paint Siding in Oak Lawn
Eight steps, same order every time, whether it's a ranch or a two-story colonial.
Walk and measure
We measure every wall, check the siding condition, and write the price down before we leave.
Pressure wash
Dirt, mildew and loose paint blasted off. The house has to be clean before paint goes on.
Scrape and sand
Every loose spot scraped off. Edges sanded smooth so you can't see where we stopped.
Caulk gaps
All gaps around windows, doors and corners sealed with exterior caulk.
Prime bare spots
Any bare wood, metal or fiber cement gets primer so the paint holds.
Paint trim first
Trim, fascia and window frames painted first, then the siding.
Two coats on siding
Full first coat, then a second coat once it's dry. This is where coverage comes from.
Cleanup and walkthrough
Everything cleaned up, then we walk it with you and fix anything you point at.
