Interior and exterior painting across Chicago, from Northwest Side bungalows to lakefront condos, by a team that has worked on the city housing stock since 2012.
Painting and decorating built around Chicago homes
Chicago housing is unusually varied for one city. A brick bungalow, a greystone two-flat, a courtyard building unit and a new-build condo each behave differently under paint, and the preparation that suits one will fail on another. Older lath-and-plaster walls move and crack; plaster needs stabilizing before filling or the repair simply reopens.
We work across the city on both single-family homes and multi-unit buildings, and we are used to the practical realities: parking and permits on tight streets, protecting shared entries and stairwells in walk-ups, and scheduling around tenants in occupied buildings.
Yes. Older plaster needs stabilizing before filling, otherwise cracks reopen within a season. We assess whether a wall needs patching, skimming or overboarding before quoting.
