What Grayslake Siding Needs That Other Exteriors Don't
Grayslake weather swings from humid summers to freezing winters. That's harder on exterior paint than almost anywhere else in Illinois.
Freeze-thaw cycles
Grayslake gets 40+ freeze-thaw cycles each winter. Exterior paint has to flex without cracking. We use paint that does.
Vinyl and wood mix
Some Grayslake homes have vinyl siding, others have wood or HardiePlank. Different materials need different prep and paint.
Aluminum siding from the 70s
Older Grayslake homes have aluminum siding that needs special exterior painting prep to hold paint.
We check the weather forecast before every exterior job. If rain is coming, we don't start. That's how Grayslake exterior work stays done right.

The Siding Grayslake Asks Us to Paint
Most calls come from homeowners whose siding has faded or started peeling. Here's what we paint most often.
Vinyl siding
Faded vinyl gets a fresh coat of exterior paint. We use paint that flexes with the vinyl through exterior painting cycles.
Wood and HardiePlank
Wood siding needs primer that seals the grain. HardiePlank takes paint like masonry. We handle siding in Grayslake in all materials.
Aluminum and steel
Metal siding from the 70s and 80s needs etching primer before paint. We do brick painting and siding in one trip.
A Crew That's Painted Grayslake Siding in Every Type of Weather
Our shop is in Melrose Park, but Grayslake exterior work is a regular part of our schedule. We drive up to Lake County for homeowners who want their siding painted correctly. The person who prices your job is the person who paints it.
Exterior painting is about timing as much as skill. We check the weather before every job and won't start if rain is coming. We use paint that handles Grayslake's winter freeze-thaw cycles and summer humidity without cracking or peeling.
Siding work pairs well with other exterior jobs. Once we're set up, we can do deck and fence staining and brick painting at the same time.

What Grayslake Homeowners Say About Siding, and What We Do
Almost every call starts 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
Old exterior paint that's peeling is already failing. It won't hold new paint without proper scraping and priming.
Vinyl and wood siding fade in the sun. Paint that's sun-damaged looks tired and dated.
Old caulk shrinks and cracks, letting moisture behind the siding where it causes rot and damage.
What you get
Loose paint scraped, bare spots primed, two coats applied. Paint that handles the freeze-thaw cycle.
New paint covers the faded spots and makes the whole house look newer.
Caulk replaced around every window and corner. Water can't get behind the siding.
