Waukegan Siding Has Its Own Challenges
Waukegan sits on Lake Michigan, which means wind, moisture and temperature swings that beat up exterior paint. Siding in this area needs the right prep and the right paint.
Vinyl siding that fades
UV from the summer sun fades vinyl siding fast. We use paint designed for vinyl that reflects heat and resists fading in Lake County's summers.
Wood siding that rots
Older Waukegan homes with wood siding need thorough scraping and priming before paint. We find and fix rot spots before we paint.
Aluminum that oxidizes
Many homes have aluminum siding that gets chalky over time. We wash it, prime it and paint it so the new coat actually stays on.
Siding that's properly painted not only looks better but also lasts longer. A good paint job seals the siding and protects it from weather. That's why Waukegan homeowners book this job with us.

What Waukegan Homeowners Worry About, and What They Get
Almost every exterior call starts with one of these three concerns. Here's the problem on the left, and here's what the house looks like when we finish.
The problem
Cheap paint and poor prep means the color flakes off before the year is over.
Lake County moisture grows mold on siding that wasn't properly washed before painting.
Low-quality exterior paint doesn't hold up to UV. Colors fade and look washed out.
What you get
Exterior-grade paint with proper prep and primer. It holds up to Lake County weather.
Power wash removes dirt and mildew before painting. No growth under the new coat.
UV-resistant paint keeps its color through multiple summers and winters.
