How We Get the Job Done

Our process is designed for safety, efficiency, and quality at every step. We don't cut corners — we follow a proven system that delivers consistent, exceptional results.

01

Free Estimate & Surface Assessment

We inspect your home's exterior, identify peeling, cracking, rot, or damage, and give you a detailed written estimate. We flag any repairs needed before painting.

02

Power Washing

We thoroughly power wash your entire exterior to remove dirt, mildew, chalking, and loose paint. This critical step ensures the new paint bonds properly and lasts years longer.

03

Scraping & Sanding

Any remaining loose or peeling paint is scraped by hand, then sanded smooth for a seamless surface. We never paint over problem areas — that's a shortcut that leads to early failure.

04

Caulking & Sealing

We re-caulk all gaps around windows, doors, trim, and siding joints with premium exterior caulk. This seals out moisture and dramatically extends the life of the paint job.

05

Priming

We apply a high-adhesion exterior primer to all bare wood, repaired areas, and surfaces that need extra protection. Primer is the foundation of a long-lasting exterior paint job.

06

Two Coats of Premium Paint

We apply two full coats of premium exterior paint using professional spray equipment, rollers, and brushes — working methodically around the entire home for consistent coverage.

07

Inspection & Touch-Up

We walk around your entire home and address any thin spots, holidays, or missed areas. Your home gets a final critical review before we sign off on the job.

Materials We Use

We only use professional-grade products from trusted brands. The quality of materials is just as important as the quality of application — and we never compromise on either.

Sherwin-Williams Emerald Exterior

The gold standard in exterior paint — exceptional durability, fade resistance, and moisture protection. Engineered for harsh climates like Chicago's.

Benjamin Moore Aura Grand Entrance

Our preferred choice for front doors — a high-gloss, hard-wearing formula that resists scratches and stands up to daily use beautifully.

Duration Exterior by Sherwin-Williams

A self-priming paint with a thick body that fills minor surface imperfections and provides superior coverage in fewer coats.

Sherwin-Williams Loxon Exterior Primer

A masonry and wood primer with outstanding adhesion on difficult surfaces, including chalky old paint and weathered wood.

DAP Premium Exterior Sealant

A flexible, paintable sealant for all gaps, joints, and cracks — essential for moisture prevention and a clean finished look.

Graco Airless Spray Equipment

Professional-grade spray systems that deliver a uniform, fine finish on large surfaces — far superior to roller-only application for exterior work.
