The homes in Winnetka are some of the nicest we work on. Many were designed by well-known architects and feature details you don’t find in newer construction: hand-carved moldings, leaded-glass windows, custom millwork, and plasterwork executed by real craftsmen decades ago. That kind of work deserves a painting crew that understands what they’re looking at.

We’ve been painting in Winnetka since the early 2000s, and over the years, we’ve worked in Indian Hill, Hubbard Woods, and throughout the village. The projects here tend to be larger, more detailed, and require more planning. That’s fine with us. We’d rather spend the time up front getting it right than rush through and cut corners.

Why Winnetka Homeowners Work With Us

Many Winnetka homes require extra attention due to the materials and details involved. A lot of the woodwork is original, and it’s been painted and repainted over the decades. Stripping built-up paint off window sashes, for example, takes patience. We use infrared heat to soften old layers without damaging the wood underneath, then scrape, sand, and prime before applying finish coats.

Interior projects often involve rooms with high ceilings, detailed crown molding, and custom cabinetry. We tape and cover everything thoroughly, because these homes have hardwood floors and finish materials that can’t be replaced. Our crews know to take off their shoes, cover floors with rosin paper and drop cloths, and seal off rooms with plastic to contain dust during prep.

On exteriors, many Winnetka homes have cedar siding, which behaves differently from other wood. At times, a stain-blocking primer to prevent tannin bleed-through, followed by a finish coat that can breathe. We’ve handled enough cedar homes to know which products work and which ones don’t.
