What You Get When We Paint Your Basement
Basements are different from upstairs rooms. We handle them like the distinct spaces they are.
Porous block gets primer that seals the surface before paint goes on.
Foundation cracks and floor-to-wall gaps get filled so the paint line looks clean.
Drywall ceilings, exposed joists or drop ceilings. Whatever you have, we paint it.
Seams taped, nail heads covered, sanded flat like a living room wall.
Baseboards, doors and window trim painted in enamel that cleans up easy.
Water-based paints that dry fast and don't leave a chemical smell downstairs.
Floor epoxy or paint available for concrete slabs at an extra cost.
Room cleared, floors swept, we walk it with you and fix what you don't like.

Bolingbrook Basements Have Their Own Set of Challenges
Bolingbrook homes sit on clay soil that holds moisture. That affects how basement paint behaves and what we need to do to make it hold.
Block walls need primer
Concrete block is porous. If you paint it without masonry primer, the paint dries into the surface and looks patchy in a few months.
Efflorescence stains
Mineral deposits from moisture push through block walls and leave white marks. We brush them off and seal the wall before painting.
Joist painting
Exposed ceiling joists are common in Bolingbrook basements. We spray them flat black or white so they look clean and finished.
If your basement has ever had water on the floor, tell us when you call. We use products that work even on walls that have seen moisture before.
How We Paint a Basement in Bolingbrook
Seven steps, same order every time, whether it's a rough utility room or a finished family room.
Assess the space
We check walls, ceilings, floor condition and moisture signs before pricing.
Patch and sand
Cracks in the block, holes in drywall and gaps along the floor get filled.
Masonry primer
Block walls get primer first so the paint doesn't soak into the surface.
Paint the ceiling
Ceilings get painted first so drips don't land on finished walls.
Paint the walls
Two coats on the drywall or block walls. Corners cut by hand.
Trim and doors
Baseboards, door frames and window trim in enamel paint.
Clean and walk
Floors swept, room cleared and we walk it with you to check everything.

Drywall walls, ceilings, trim and doors. We treat it like an upstairs room with the right products for below-grade.
Unfinished basements
Block walls primed and painted, joists painted or sprayed, floor sealed. Utility rooms that actually look clean.

A Crew That Knows Below-Grade Painting
Our painters work on basements in Bolingbrook every month. We know the difference between painting an upstairs bedroom and painting a block wall that sits below grade. The prep is different, the primer is different, and the paint needs to breathe differently.
We're based in Melrose Park but we cover Will County regularly. Bolingbrook basements are a big part of our schedule. While we're downstairs, homeowners often ask us about interior painting upstairs or drywall repair in other rooms.

What People Complain About, and What You End Up With
Basement painting problems are different from upstairs rooms. Here's what Bolingbrook homeowners deal with, and what we fix.
The problem
Regular wall paint on bare block just flakes off. It doesn't bond to the surface.
Old leaks leave rings on basement ceilings. Paint doesn't cover them without primer.
Exposed ceiling joists gather dust and cobwebs. You can't clean them without making a mess.
What you get
Masonry primer seals the surface so the paint holds for years instead of peeling.
Water stains get blocked so they don't bleed through the new paint.
Sprayed or rolled joists that look finished and stay clean for years.
