Windy City PaintersIron Fence Painting Lincoln Park Chicago - Professional Metal Refinishing
Windy City Painters completed this comprehensive iron fence painting project for a beautiful Lincoln Park greystone property. Lincoln Park's historic architecture demands careful attention to detail, and furthermore, Chicago's harsh weather conditions require professional-grade materials and techniques for lasting protection.
We utilized premium Sherwin-Williams rust inhibiting primer and Benjamin Moore exterior metal paint for maximum durability. Additionally, our team employed specialized rust removal tools and surface preparation equipment to ensure optimal adhesion and longevity.
Our four-step process included complete rust removal and surface cleaning, minor repairs to damaged sections, premium primer application with proper curing time, and final topcoat application using spray and brush techniques for even coverage.
Chicago's unique challenges include extreme temperature fluctuations, salt exposure from winter treatments, and moisture from Lake Michigan. Moreover, older properties often have multiple paint layers requiring careful removal. Therefore, professional expertise ensures proper preparation and material selection.
The results exceeded client expectations with a smooth, durable finish that enhances the property's curb appeal. Subsequently, the fence now provides years of protection while complementing the neighborhood's architectural character perfectly.
Before starting similar projects, homeowners should understand that proper surface preparation accounts for 80% of project success. Additionally, weather conditions significantly impact application timing and results.

UserLike a lot of people, my Toano project clients found that after months of being home due to Covid precautions, they were ready to do something different with their space! Having spent hours online, looking at various designs, they had a lot of great ideas when they approached us in the spring of 2021 to help with the design and renovation of their kitchen, guest bath and master bath. Partnering with Van Fleet contractors, we were able to transform what was a nice but dated space into something new and fresh!
Today, we are walking you through the “before” and “after” of the Toano Project kitchen reveal! I have to say, that this reveal is probably our most dramatic yet.
StairworksMartins Avenue is a beautiful, curved staircase made out of steel as the base material. Curved stairs are a challenge because you need to get the soffit (the underside of the staircase) curved and twisted around the base of the stairs to get the nice flowing lines. And because the timber work was outsourced to other builders, we had to work closely alongside them in order to get the soffit curved just right and ensure everything matched the flooring.
The other big challenge was that the curved balustrade needed to be an identical match to the staircase and have a nice, smooth, curved line. In order to achieve this, we built both the steel stairs and balustrade in the shop at the same time and match drilled the balustrade through. Therefore when we brought it to site we knew it would fit perfectly. The angle on the bottom of the balustrade was designed to cover the junction or zig zag angle between the steel and the timber.
Because of how this staircase had to be designed and built, it was extremely heavy and a challenging install. Additionally, as the walls of the site were all finished, we had to take all the necessary precautions to get the stairs installed without causing any damage or leaving any markings. Afterwards, the builders covered the underside with gib and closed risers to hide the cladding underneath.
There was absolutely no room for error with this staircase and we at Stairworks, the builders and the clients are all extremely happy with the end result!

Native Edge LandscapeThese homeowners were looking to up their hosting game by modernizing their property to create the ultimate entertainment space. A custom outdoor kitchen was added with a top of the line Delta Heat grill and a special nook for a Big Green Egg. Flagstone was added to create asymmetrical walkways throughout the yard that extended into a ring around the fire pit. Four rectangular trellises were added along the fence and shed, with an all metal pergola located at the back of the pool. This unique structure immediately draws the eye and adds a playful, artistic element to the rest of the space. The use of various sized rocks, gravel, and flagstone give a rough texture that creates a symbiosis with the metalwork. Silver Falls Dichondra creates a beautiful contrast to the rocks and can be found all over the property along with various other grasses, ferns, and agave. A large area of gravel rests on the side of the house, giving the client room to park a recreational vehicle. In front, a privacy fence was added along one of the property lines, leading into a drought resistant, eco-friendly section of yard. This fence, coupled with a giant boulder, doubles as a safety precaution in case drivers miss the turn and run into their lawn. This updated landscaping adds an effortless flow for guests to move from the front yard to the back while creating a very open, welcoming feel to all who enter.

Edgewater Design GroupOur clients already had a cottage on Torch Lake that they loved to visit. It was a 1960s ranch that worked just fine for their needs. However, the lower level walkout became entirely unusable due to water issues. After purchasing the lot next door, they hired us to design a new cottage. Our first task was to situate the home in the center of the two parcels to maximize the view of the lake while also accommodating a yard area. Our second task was to take particular care to divert any future water issues. We took necessary precautions with design specifications to water proof properly, establish foundation and landscape drain tiles / stones, set the proper elevation of the home per ground water height and direct the water flow around the home from natural grade / drive. Our final task was to make appealing, comfortable, living spaces with future planning at the forefront. An example of this planning is placing a master suite on both the main level and the upper level. The ultimate goal of this home is for it to one day be at least a 3/4 of the year home and designed to be a multi-generational heirloom.

Craig Ebner Painting LLCThis house needed a lot of preparation, or "prep" work, before we painted the finishing coats. We restored a few of the shutters and brought the lintels (above windows) and sills back to life after they had been covered with several coats of old paint and normal wear and tear. In addition, you can see the protective orange and yellow sleeves covering the electric lines, we always approach a job with all the necessary safety precautions before we begin work.

Absolute ExhibitsThe Fishman custom booth flaunted 16 foot high, sleek white walls, 3D halo lit logos, two (2) private meeting rooms and two (2) product demo stations where attendees can test Fishman’s latest products.
Several precautions were set in place to properly insulate the individual rooms to block outside noise and keep music within the demo rooms.
For example, the rooms were spaced out as far apart as possible and utilized double-layered walls with built-in sound proofing to create an isolated experience for each room.
