Ladue homes and this kind of project
An exterior repaint in Ladue means working in architect-designed houses from the 1920s to 1950s and newer estates, so on our first visit we look at trim ends and sills for rot, failed caulk and what the siding is made of.
The housing stock here: architect-designed homes from the 1920s to 1950s, mid-century ranches and new estates on large lots.
Lead-safe scraping, wood repair with dutchmen and epoxy, and district-approved colors.
Lots, exteriors and approvals in Ladue
Wood window and trim restoration, additions designed to be indistinguishable from the original, and terraces and porches. Architectural review is thorough.
Original wood siding and windows on Ladue's older houses can often be restored for less than the cost of quality replacements, and in historic districts that may be required. We repair with epoxy and dutchmen where sound, replace in kind where not, and use lead-safe methods throughout.
What is included
For Ladue subdivisions with color restrictions, we prepare the color submittal for your HOA and wait for approval before ordering paint.
We take on exterior repaint work in and around lanes off Ladue, Warson and Litzsinger roads.
What we watch for
Fiber cement siding on Ladue homes from the 2000s often has failed caulk at butt joints and unpainted cut ends. We seal those properly, since that is where water enters the board.
Ladue properties tend to be large lots on winding private lanes, and that affects how we stage materials, where painters and a carpenter for rot repair park and how debris leaves the site.
Permits and approvals in Ladue
Ladue's building department is where we file for an exterior repaint in Ladue, and the job will see no permit, though HOA color approval may apply.
Exterior work in Ladue can also involve a thorough architectural review board, and we put that package together for you.
Schedule and getting to you
Plan on three to seven working days of site work for an exterior repaint in Ladue, once permits and materials are in hand.
Ladue sits toward the edge of our range: I-64 east past Lindbergh, a little over forty minutes in normal traffic. We group trade visits and deliveries carefully for projects at that distance, and we take them on when the scope justifies a dedicated crew.
What moves the price in Ladue
We price exterior painting in Ladue from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.
- Number of colors and the detail of the trim.
- Substrate type.
More detail
Our step-by-step method for this work, and the factors that move its price, are laid out on the main exterior painting page. More about the area is on our Ladue page.
Exterior Painting in Ladue: common questions
How long does an exterior repaint take in Ladue?
Three to seven working days for most homes, depending on weather. For Ladue we group trade visits to keep that schedule tight despite the drive.
Do I need approval beyond a permit for an exterior repaint in Ladue?
Possibly. In Ladue you may be dealing with a thorough architectural review board. City or county approval and private approval are separate, and we prepare both submittals and wait for written approval before ordering materials.
Can vinyl siding be painted?
Yes, with vinyl-safe formulations in colors no darker than the manufacturer's limit. It is a good way to update faded siding that is otherwise sound.
