Short answer
Yes, we paint throughout Huntington Hill, from the Colonial Revival and Georgian homes of Huntington Estates to the tri-levels, Colonials and ranches of Green Trails. Exterior work here usually means trim, shutters and siding handled together so the formal lines stay sharp, and interiors follow when a color has run its course.
Symmetry shows every flaw on a Colonial or Georgian front
Colonial Revival and Georgian houses are built on symmetry: evenly spaced windows, matched shutters and a centered entry. A single peeling sill breaks that pattern and is visible from the street, so every casing and sill on the front gets the same scraping, sanding and priming. We keep one trim color and one sheen from the first window to the last, which is what makes these facades look finished.
Tudor Revival work is slower and more hand-driven. The decorative boards set into the walls are brushed in their own color, and the field between them is cut in carefully so neither color bleeds. In Green Trails, tri-levels and ranches bring wide lower walls and garage fronts into the mix, and those get checked for soft wood and loose paint before anything is primed.
Planning an exterior season along Naper Boulevard
Exterior latex needs mild nights to cure. O'Hare's normal lows rise past 40°F in April, stay there through October and fall to 34.1°F once November arrives, so Huntington Hill exteriors are booked inside that stretch. Homes facing Naper Boulevard take a little more planning for ladder placement and drop cloths near the walk. Before you pick a year for the work, read how long an exterior paint job lasts.
Front halls, stair rails and tri-level landings
Colonial Revival plans often center on a front hall and staircase, the first thing anyone sees on the way in. Rails, risers and the tall wall beside the stairs collect years of scuffs, so we sand and recoat the rails, brush the risers in enamel and repaint the hall in a washable finish. Colder months suit this kind of indoor work while the siding waits for spring.
Six jobs that suit Huntington Hill houses
Exterior Trim, Soffit & Fascia Painting
Symmetrical Colonial and Georgian fronts show every chipped sill or faded shutter, so trim and shutters often come first.
Exterior House Painting
Homes of roughly 2,000 to 3,500 square feet make a full repaint a planned project, scraped, primed and finished in two coats.
Front Door Painting & Refinishing
A centered entry is the focal point of a Georgian or Colonial Revival facade, so a refinished door changes the whole front.
Wood Rot Repair Before Painting
Sills, jambs and the bottom edges of trim hold water longest, and any soft wood gets rebuilt before paint goes on.
Staircase & Banister Refinishing
Front-hall staircases in Colonial Revival plans greet every guest, so worn rails and scuffed risers are worth refinishing.
Interior Painting
Tri-levels in Green Trails spread rooms over short flights, so we plan room order to keep each level usable.
