Westmont Exteriors Face the Midwest Weather
Westmont homes sit through hot summers, freezing winters, and everything in between. The exterior takes the hardest hit. We paint with that in mind.
Wood siding needs love
Many older Westmont homes have cedar or wood siding that has seen a few Illinois winters. We scrape, sand, prime and paint so the wood is sealed and protected.
Vinyl can be painted
Most people think vinyl siding can't be painted. It can, but it needs the right paint and prep. We've done vinyl on Westmont homes near the train station. See our siding painting services.
Brick needs breathable paint
Brick holds moisture. If you seal it with the wrong paint, it can spall and crack. We use masonry paint that lets the brick breathe. Check our brick painting page.
Homes built before 1978 can have lead paint on the exterior trim. Our crews follow safe lead practice on those, which is one more reason to hire a professional.

The Exterior Work Westmont Calls Us For

We work DuPage suburbs every day and we know the weather patterns that damage exterior paint. Same crew, same prep, same price sheet whether you're on Park Street or near the Westmont Train Station.

What People Complain About, and What You End Up With
Almost every exterior call opens with one of these. Here's the cause on the left, and here's what the house looks like when we pack up.
The problem
Poor prep or no primer under the top coat. Moisture got underneath and pushed the paint off.
One coat over faded paint never covers. Looks patchy in different light.
Cheap paint on trim shrinks and cracks within a season. It lets moisture in.
What you get
Proper prep, primer on bare spots, and two full coats of quality paint.
Two coats and correct coverage mean no patchy spots, no matter the light.
High-quality enamel on trim that stays flexible and doesn't crack.
