Exterior Painting in Highland Park, IL

Drive through Ravinia, Braeside, Sherwood Forest, and the east-side ravine neighborhoods in late winter and you can tell which exteriors were prepped properly and which were rushed. Highland Park's freeze-thaw cycles, humid summers, and lake-effect weather punish shortcuts — especially on an architecturally rich mix — from historic Ravinia-area homes and mid-century modern gems to lakefront estates — where every project calls for finishes that respect the architecture.

That's why our exterior process starts long before the first coat: full power washing, hand scraping and sanding of every failing area, re-caulking of gaps and seams, and high-adhesion priming of all bare wood. Only then do we apply two full coats of Sherwin-Williams Emerald or Duration — paints rated for 15+ years in climates like ours.

We've painted exteriors throughout Ravinia, Braeside, Sherwood Forest, and the east-side ravine neighborhoods, and in a community known for one of the North Shore's most distinctive communities, with wooded ravine lots, the Ravinia Festival, and homeowners with a sharp eye for quality, curb appeal matters. A properly executed exterior repaint protects your biggest investment and makes it the best-looking home on the block.
