Painters Serving Northbrook, IL Since 1969
Northbrook is home. Our shop has been on Landwehr Road since 1969, so when we say we know this town, we mean we have painted on just about every street in it. From the ranches off Shermer to the newer builds out past Techny, we have seen what the weather here does to a finish and how to make one last.
A lot of Northbrook homes are pushing fifty or sixty years now, and the original trim and siding have earned some respect. We prep like it matters, because it does. Caulk fails, wood moves, and a rushed paint job shows it by the second winter. We would rather do it once and do it right.
What We Paint in Northbrook
- Interior painting: walls, trim, ceilings, and cabinetry, with the prep that makes the finish last.
- Exterior painting: siding, soffits, fascia, brick, and stucco that can take the North Shore weather.
- Deck and fence staining: stripped, cleaned, and sealed so it holds up season after season.
- Front door and garage door refinishing: brought back to life, grain and all.
- Commercial painting: offices, storefronts, schools, park district buildings, and multi-unit properties.
- Color guidance: honest advice so you still love the color years after we pack up.
Public work in the village: we repainted the Northbrook Public Works building, Tudor trim and all, without taking a single truck out of service.
Interior Painting in Northbrook
Interior painting in Northbrook is most of what we do in the winter. The post-war ranches and colonials around Meadowbrook, Crestwood, and the Village Green have original plaster and trim that deserve proper prep: cracks taped and skimmed, trim sanded and caulked, patches primed so they do not flash. Newer homes near Techny and the Willow Road corridor usually want color changes and a cleaner, sprayed finish on trim and doors. Either way the crew moves and covers furniture, keeps the house livable room by room, and uses low-VOC products so you can sleep in the bedroom the same night it was painted.
Exterior Painting in Northbrook
We have painted the outside of Northbrook houses for 57 years, so we know which streets have cedar that needs scraping every cycle and which have brick that should never see a sealer. Exterior prep here means a low-pressure wash, loose paint scraped and feathered, bare wood spot-primed, failed caulk cut out and replaced, and masonry treated with a breathable coating. Then two coats of a quality 100 percent acrylic finish in dry weather. Soffits, fascia, and window sills get the closest look because that is where a Northbrook winter does its damage.
