Bancroft Painting Co.Interior & Exterior Painting

Interior Painting

Walls, ceilings, trim and doors repainted room by room, with the prep and the protection done properly before a brush is opened.

Interior Painting details

Exterior Painting

Full exterior repaints with the washing, scraping, priming and caulking that decide how long the finish lasts through an Illinois winter.

Exterior Painting details

Cabinet Refinishing

Kitchen and bath cabinets stripped back, prepped and sprayed to a hard finish, for a fraction of what replacement costs.

Deck Staining & Sealing

Decks and porches stripped, cleaned, brightened and re-coated so the wood is protected through the winter rather than just darkened.

Cedar and pressure-treated fencing cleaned and stained on both sides, including long runs on larger lots.

Wallpaper Removal

Paper and adhesive taken off and the wall repaired back to a paintable surface, which is the part most people underestimate.

Drywall Repair & Patching

Holes, cracks, water damage and settlement repaired and finished flat so the repair does not telegraph through the paint.

How it works

Four steps, and a number that does not move

01

Walk the job

We look at the surfaces, not just the rooms. Prep is what the number is built from, so it is what gets measured.

02

Written scope

You get the surfaces, the products, the number of coats and the price in writing before anything is booked.

03

Scheduled properly

Interior any month. Exterior inside the season, not squeezed into the end of it.

04

Walked and signed off

We walk the finished work with you under real light and fix anything on the list before the final invoice.

Questions

Common questions

How is a painting quote worked out?

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.

Can you paint in the winter?

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.

How long will the job take?

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.

Do I need to move out?

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.

What preparation is actually included?

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.
