Quick answer
Interior and exterior painting in Naperville, IL, booked by phone any hour of the day. We paint whole homes and single rooms, refinish kitchen cabinets, stain decks and fences and repair drywall from a service office on East Bailey Road. Tell us the rooms or the siding you want painted and we will book a walk-through and put a written estimate in your hand.
Most painting calls we take in Naperville start with a room that has looked tired for a while: scuffed hallway walls, a kitchen that still wears its builder beige, or siding that has faded on the south side. We paint all of that, and we do the prep that decides whether it lasts. Holes get filled, glossy trim primed and siding washed before the first coat.
Men In Paint works from a service office on East Bailey Road on the south-east side of town, with the head office up in Crystal Lake. Interior work runs year-round. Exterior work runs when the weather cooperates, which in this part of Illinois is roughly late April through October.
What to look for
Seven signs your paint is past due
Paint that peels on the sunny side
Sun and freeze cycles break the film first on south and west walls. Once it lifts, water gets behind it and the wood follows.
Chalky residue on your hand
Rub the siding. A white or colored powder means the binder has worn out and the coating is no longer protecting anything.
Bare gray wood on trim and sills
Sills and the bottom edge of trim hold water longest. Gray fibers mean the paint has been gone for a season or more.
Scuffs that will not wash off
Flat builder paint marks easily and does not scrub. A washable eggshell or satin fixes hallways and kids' rooms for good.
Yellowing on white trim
Older oil enamel yellows with age, especially away from daylight. A bonding primer and a modern waterborne enamel stay white.
Mildew spots on shaded walls
Gray-green specks on north walls and under decks need a wash and a mildew treatment before any coat will stick.
Cracked caulk at corners and windows
Split caulk lets water into the joint. We cut it out and recaulk before painting instead of painting over the gap.

Local knowledge
Painting Naperville houses, decade by decade
Across roughly 37,000 Naperville properties the median build year is 1984, so a large share of the homes we paint are 1980s and 1990s two-story colonials with oak trim, popcorn ceilings and the original flat builder paint. Those houses paint beautifully, but the trim usually needs a bonding primer before it will hold a white enamel.
Downtown is a different job. Streets like Ellsworth Street and North Avenue in the Historic District carry median build years in the 1910s and 1920s, with wood siding, deep porches and layers of old paint. Exterior changes inside the local district follow the city's preservation design guidelines, so we plan those color schemes around what the guidelines allow and scrape and prime by hand.
The weather sets the exterior calendar. Chicago-area normals show about 102 days a year below freezing and 8 days above 90F, with summer thunderstorms and moderately high humidity. That is why exterior coats are scheduled around overnight lows.
