House Painters in Fitchburg, Wisconsin

Seventies split-levels, 2000s two-stories, and a lot of rental turns

Fitchburg sits directly south of Madison, about 7 miles and 15 minutes from our base, with no travel surcharge. The housing here runs mostly 1970s through the 2000s, which puts a large share of homes in the window where original vinyl and aluminum are sound but interiors are on their second or third repaint. Fitchburg also has a heavy concentration of rental and condo property, and we handle unit turns on a committed days-to-ready schedule.

Fitchburg is a practical painting market. The houses are mostly sound, the siding is mostly vinyl or aluminum that needs washing more than scraping, and the work that actually moves the needle here is interior. Second and third repaints, kitchens that were builder-beige in 1998, and cabinet refinishing on the oak that came standard in every one of these houses.

There is also a lot of rental and condo property in Fitchburg, particularly along the McKee and Fish Hatchery corridors. Unit turns are a different discipline than homeowner work: the metric is days-to-ready, not price per square foot, and a unit we can turn in two days instead of five is worth more to a property manager than a lower bid. We schedule and staff accordingly.

Fitchburg's condo and townhome associations frequently specify exterior colors building-wide. We coordinate directly with associations and property managers rather than putting the homeowner in the middle of it.

Questions

Painting in Fitchburg.

(608) 555-0142
Do you do rental turns in Fitchburg?

Yes, and we treat them as their own discipline. A standard one or two bedroom unit is two to three days including patching, quoted per unit rather than per square foot, and we commit to the date in writing so your leasing calendar can rely on it.

Can aluminum siding be painted?

Yes, and it takes paint very well. Aluminum chalks heavily as it ages, so the critical step is a chalk-removing wash followed by a bonding primer. Skip either one and the new coating peels within two years. Most 1970s Fitchburg homes with original aluminum are excellent repaint candidates.

How much to paint the oak cabinets in my 1990s kitchen?

Cabinets are priced by the count of doors and drawer fronts rather than by the size of the kitchen, so the first thing we do is count them. The other question is grain: oak has an open grain that shows through paint, and if you want the smooth modern look, grain filling is a real added step. We finish a sample door both ways so you can decide with the real thing in hand.

Do you work with condo associations?

Yes, directly. Many Fitchburg associations specify exterior colors building-wide, and we would rather coordinate with the board or property manager ourselves than put an individual owner in the middle of an approval process.
