Skokie has always been a good town for us. The homes here are well-kept, the homeowners care about their properties, and the housing stock is varied enough that every project is a little different. You’ll find brick ranches from the 1950s and ’60s, split-levels, bi-levels, and some newer construction mixed in.

A lot of our Skokie work comes from repeat clients and neighbor referrals. When we’re painting someone’s living room and the neighbor sees the truck, they’ll come over and ask for a card. That’s been the pattern for as long as we’ve been working here.

Why Skokie Homeowners Work With Us

The typical Skokie home is a well-built mid-century house that’s had several paint jobs over the years. Our job is to figure out what’s underneath the current paint, prep it properly, and give it a finish that’ll hold up.

For interiors, many Skokie homes have a mix of plaster and drywall from various renovations over the decades. The trick is treating each surface correctly. Plaster needs a bonding primer. New drywall patches need to be primed separately to avoid showing through the finish. We sand all patched areas smooth and prime everything to create a uniform surface before the topcoat goes on.

Exterior work on Skokie’s brick ranches usually involves painting or staining trim, soffits, fascia, and garage doors rather than the brick itself. We make sure to prep metal and aluminum surfaces with the right primer when necessary so that paint adheres correctly and doesn’t peel. For the homes with wood or aluminum siding, we follow our standard process of scraping, sanding, priming bare spots, and applying two finish coats.
