Quick answer
We paint homes and businesses across McHenry County, IL, from our head office on Candlewood Drive in Crystal Lake. Most homes here are detached houses on larger lots, so calls lean toward exterior painting, siding stain, decks, fences and front doors, along with interiors. We answer 24/7.
Housing in McHenry County
Detached houses, bigger lots and a lot of exterior wood
McHenry County is the most single-family county we cover: 77 percent of homes are detached houses, and more than eight in ten households own their home. The median home was built in 1989, with a large group from 1970 to 1989 and an even larger one from 1990 to 2009, so the work spans ranches and split-levels as well as newer two-story houses.
More than half the county's land is still farmland, and many homes back onto open ground or tree lines. That exposure is hard on siding, decks and fences, which is why exterior stain and paint fill most of our McHenry County summers.
