House painters in Greenwood, Indiana.

We know Greenwood houses.

Greenwood isn't one kind of house, and that changes how a repaint gets priced and prepped. The older sections near Old Town and along Madison Avenue are full of mid-century ranches and split-levels — wood trim, wood soffits, sometimes original aluminum siding that has chalked to the point where nothing will stick until it's been washed properly. Those homes reward good prep and punish shortcuts.

Head east toward Emerson and Worthsville, or west toward the Center Grove side, and it's a different story: brick-and-vinyl two-stories built through the nineties and two-thousands. On those, the brick and vinyl are fine but the painted surfaces — trim boards, fascia, garage door surrounds, shutters, gable vents, front door — are usually on their second or third coat and starting to show it. That's a smaller job than a full-body repaint and it makes a house look ten years newer.

Then there's the newest construction on the south and east edges, where builder-grade paint is hitting the seven-to-ten-year mark all at once. Builder paint is thin by design. When it starts failing it tends to go everywhere at the same time.

What we do in Greenwood.

• Exterior repaints — siding, trim, soffits, fascia, porches, shutters and doors. Washed, scraped, primed where it's needed, then coated.
• Interior painting — walls, ceilings, trim and stairwells. Furniture covered, floors protected, rooms put back the way we found them.
• Deck staining and refinishing — stripped, cleaned and re-coated before the wood goes gray and starts checking.
• Pressure washing — siding, concrete, and the north-side green that shows up every spring.
• Window cleaning — the finishing touch after an exterior job.

Interiors are our winter work. If you've been putting off a living room, a stairwell, or a whole main floor, January through March is when we have room and you're stuck inside looking at it anyway.
