What is the best time of year to paint a house exterior in Illinois?
Late spring through early fall (May–October) is ideal. We need dry conditions and temperatures above 50°F for proper paint adhesion and curing.
How often should I repaint my home's exterior?
Most homes need repainting every 5–10 years depending on the siding material, paint quality, sun exposure, and weather conditions. We can assess your home and recommend the best timeline.
Do you power wash before painting?
Yes — thorough power washing is a critical first step. We remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint to ensure the new coat adheres properly and lasts for years.
Will you protect my landscaping and property?
Absolutely. We carefully cover all landscaping, walkways, windows, and outdoor features with drop cloths and plastic sheeting before any work begins.
