Gurnee Siding Has Its Own Challenges
Gurnee is a mix of 1990s subdivisions with vinyl siding, older homes with wood lap, and newer builds with hardboard. The weather here puts all of them to the test.
Wind and UV exposure
Homes near the open areas in Gurnee take more wind and sun. Vinyl fades and wood dries faster. We use paints rated for high UV and wind exposure.
Vinyl expansion and contraction
Vinyl siding expands in heat and contracts in cold. Standard paint cracks when it moves. We use flexible acrylic paint that moves with the panels.
Lake effect moisture
Being close to Lake Michigan brings more humidity and rain. We pressure wash thoroughly and use mildew-resistant paint on exterior painting in Gurnee.
Homes built before 1978 can carry lead paint under the top layers. Our crews follow safe prep on those, which is one more reason not to hand this to somebody working out of a trunk.

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 house looks like when we pack up.
The problem
Old paint breaks down and leaves chalk dust on your hands. The house looks worn and washed out.
Paint flakes off in sheets. Water gets behind the peeling areas and rots the wood or hardboard.
Damp corners and shaded panels grow black mildew. Regular paint doesn't kill it, so it keeps coming back.
What you get
Two coats, proper primer underneath, no faded patches or chalky spots.
Proper prep means paint bonds to the siding instead of peeling off after one winter.
Mildewcide mixed into the paint so black spots don't reappear on shaded panels.
