Gurnee Homes Have Their Own Character
Gurnee is a mix of newer subdivisions near the highways and older homes closer to the lake. Each type needs a different approach to paint.
Newer construction, settled seams
Homes in the subdivisions have drywall seams that settle and show. We tape and float them flat before painting so the joint doesn't keep reappearing.
Older homes near the lake
Homes closer to Lake Michigan see more humidity. Exterior paint fails faster there, so we use moisture-resistant primer and topcoats on those jobs.
Big exteriors with lots of trim
Gurnee houses have big facades with lots of window trim and rake boards. We spray the large surfaces and back-brush the details so everything gets covered.
We cover every corner of Lake County, from the Wisconsin border down to the northern Cook County line.
How We Paint a Gurnee House
Eight steps, same order every time, whether it's a single room or the whole house.
Walk and measure
We check every room and surface, look at the condition, and write the price down.
Pick colors
Bring your own or let us bring samples. Big swatches on your wall, in your light.
Protect the house
Furniture covered, floors sheeted, exterior surfaces power washed and masked.
Patch and sand
Holes filled, cracks bridged, rough spots sanded flat, dust wiped down.
Prime problems
Bare patches, stains and big color changes get primer first.
Paint top to bottom
Ceilings first, then walls, then trim inside. Outside, we start at the top.
Second coat
Full second coat once the first has dried. This is where even color shows up.
Reset and check
Furniture returned, floors cleared, then we walk it with you and fix what you flag.

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 the result on the right.
The problem
One coat over a darker color never covers. Looks fine wet, blotchy once it dries.
Plaster cracks and drywall seams smeared with lightweight filler open right back up.
Poor prep or no primer under the topcoat. The adhesion fails, and the paint lifts.
What you get
Two coats and correct primer under any big color change. No shadow of the old shade.
Cracks and seams taped, skimmed and sanded flat. They hold through the seasons.
Power washed, scraped, primed where needed and painted. The prep makes it last.
