Addison Exteriors Face Their Own Weather
Addison gets the full Midwestern swing: humid summers, freezing winters, and everything in between. Your exterior paint has to handle all of it.
Aluminum siding fade
Post-war Addison ranches have aluminum siding that fades unevenly in the sun. We use fade-resistant paint so it stays even.
Freeze-thaw cycles
Winter moisture gets behind loose paint, freezes, and pops it off. We scrape all loose spots and prime before painting.
Mildew on north sides
Shady north-facing walls stay damp and grow mildew. We power wash with a mildewcide before any paint goes on.
Older exteriors in Addison may have lead paint under the surface. Our crews follow safe prep on those, which is one more reason not to hand this to somebody working out of a trunk.
How We Paint the Exterior of an Addison House
Eight steps, same order every time, whether it's one side or the whole house.
Walk and inspect
We check every surface, look for loose paint, and write the price down before we leave.
Power wash
Full wash to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint flakes.
Scrape and sand
Loose paint removed, edges feathered, rough spots sanded smooth.
Prime bare spots
Bare wood, metal, and masonry primed so the paint bonds.
Caulk gaps
Window seams, siding joints, and trim gaps sealed with exterior caulk.
First coat
Even coat across all surfaces, brushed or sprayed depending on the material.

Full second coat once the first has dried. This is where durability shows up.
Cleanup and walk
Site cleared, then we walk it with you and fix anything you point at.

A Crew From Melrose Park, Not a Call Center

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 exterior looks like when we pack up.
The problem
Loose paint wasn't scraped all the way. The new coat just sits on top and fails.
No primer on bare wood or metal. Moisture comes through and stains the new paint.
One coat over faded siding. Looks patchy in different light.
What you get
All loose paint scraped, bare spots primed, two coats applied. Lasts through the seasons.
Bare surfaces primed, water stains sealed, so the color stays clean.
Two full coats, mixed from the same batch. Looks the same on all sides.
True on every Addison exterior we take:
What the Exteriors Look Like When We Leave
No overspray on the windows. No paint on the concrete. Siding clean and even.
What Addison Customers Say After the Last Coat
