Painting in Bucktown

Bucktown is a neighborhood blending original workers' cottages with new-construction infill on tight urban lots. Most homes here are cottages and new-construction infill, built in the 1890s, with modest original trim on the cottages and modern millwork in the infill.

Painting a vintage home is mostly prep: plaster cracks, old patches, and original trim all get addressed before color so the finish reads even. On the cottages we match 1890s trim; on the newer infill we build to modern millwork, and the tight lots make delivery and staging deliberate.

Painting is often the first thing people try us on, and it is the fastest way to see how we communicate and protect a home. We start with color and sheen selection room by room, then our crew handles surface prep, patching, masking, and protection before a single wall is coated. The result is a finish with crisp lines and no telegraphed repairs. It is also the lowest-commitment way to start a relationship before a larger project.
