Round Lake, IL
Round Lake sits alongside Round Lake Beach with a similar mix — modest lots, frame and vinyl housing, detached garages. We handle the full range here from a single room to a whole-house repaint ahead of a sale.
However the house is built, the job runs the same way: we walk the surfaces, put the scope in writing with the products and the number of coats named, schedule it inside the right season, and walk the finished work with you before the final invoice.
The Lake County painting year
Interior work runs every month. Exterior is weather dependent, so the spring slots go first.
Services
Walls, ceilings, trim and doors repainted room by room, with the prep and the protection done properly before a brush is opened.
Interior Painting detailsFull exterior repaints with the washing, scraping, priming and caulking that decide how long the finish lasts through an Illinois winter.
Exterior Painting detailsKitchen and bath cabinets stripped back, prepped and sprayed to a hard finish, for a fraction of what replacement costs.
Cabinet Refinishing detailsBaseboards, casings, crown, wainscot, built-ins and stair parts finished to a standard that stands up to close inspection.
Trim & Millwork Painting detailsCedar, LP, fiber cement and aluminum siding cleaned, prepped and coated, including rot repair before the coating goes on.
Cedar & Siding Painting detailsDecks and porches stripped, cleaned, brightened and re-coated so the wood is protected through the winter rather than just darkened.

Questions
No. Round Lake is inside our regular service area and the price is built from the surfaces and the preparation, not the drive. We are across Lake County most days of the week.
By surface area and by the amount of preparation the surfaces need, which is the part that varies most between two houses that look similar. A wall that needs washing, filling, sanding and priming is several times the work of one that needs a coat. You get the scope in writing — surfaces, products, number of coats — so you can compare quotes on the same basis rather than on a single number.
Interior work runs all year, and January through March is the easiest time of year to book. Exterior work is weather dependent and needs surface temperature and dryness within range, so it runs roughly April through October in Lake County. We would rather tell you to wait for spring than put a coat on in November that fails by summer.
A single room is usually a day or two. A whole-house interior runs one to two weeks depending on how much trim and how much prep. A full exterior is typically one to two weeks, and the weather decides more than the crew does. You get a schedule up front, and you are told when it moves.
No. Interior work is done room by room so the house stays livable, and each room is put back at the end of each day rather than at the end of the job. If a kitchen is being refinished you will lose the use of the cabinets for a few days, and we plan that with you rather than around you.
Washing, scraping back failing paint, filling and sanding, spot-priming bare substrate, caulking joints, and masking and covering everything that is not being painted. Prep is not a line item to be trimmed to win a quote — it is the part that decides whether the finish lasts. If a quote you are comparing is much cheaper, this is usually where the difference is.
