Why Lockport Exteriors Need Special Care
Lockport's location near the Des Plaines River and its soil conditions create specific challenges for exterior paint. Here's what we account for.
River moisture exposure
Homes near the I&M Canal and Des Plaines River get more humidity and moisture than inland suburbs. Exterior paint must breathe while blocking water penetration.
Clay soil movement
Expansive clay soil causes foundation shifts that crack exterior stucco and siding. We use flexible caulking and elastomeric coatings on exterior painting jobs to move with the house.
Historic material challenges
Older Lockport homes have original wood siding and limestone that need specialty products. We match the paint type to the material, not one solution for everything.
Lockport winters are brutal on exterior paint. Our prep and two-coat system is designed to hold up through freezing, thawing and high winds.
