Exterior Painting in Lake St. Louis, Missouri

Lake St. Louis homes and this kind of project

Because Lake St. Louis is made up of 1970s lake houses and the newer homes around Hawk Ridge, the first thing we check for an exterior repaint here is trim ends and sills for rot, failed caulk and what the siding is made of.

The housing stock here: a mix of 1970s and 1980s contemporaries, ranches and split-levels near the lakes, and larger 1990s to 2010s two-stories and villas in the Hawk Ridge area and south of the interstate.

Hardboard siding and wood brickmould need repair before paint on homes of this era.

Lots, exteriors and approvals in Lake St. Louis

Tall decks facing the water are the signature project. Many are original and overdue for replacement. Steep rear yards make footing access and stair design the hard part. The community association reviews decks, docks, colors and roofed structures.

Hardboard siding, wood brickmould and builder-grade vinyl windows on Lake St. Louis homes of this period are all reaching failure at once. We see swollen siding at the bottom courses, rot at trim ends and fogged glass.

What is included

For Lake St. Louis 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 across Lake St. Louis, from the Lake Saint Louis lakefront to Lake Saint Louise and Heritage of Hawk Ridge.

What we watch for

Homes in Lake St. Louis with wood windows clad only on the sash frequently have soft exterior sills. We probe every one before quoting.

Lake St. Louis properties tend to be sloping, wooded lots that fall toward the water, 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 Lake St. Louis

In Lake St. Louis, an exterior repaint is reviewed by the City of Lake Saint Louis. What follows is no permit, though HOA color approval may apply.

Since this work shows from outside, also plan on the Lake Saint Louis Community Association. We prepare that submittal alongside the permit.

Schedule and getting to you

Most Lake St. Louis clients see three to seven working days of construction for an exterior repaint.

From our Wentzville base, Lake St. Louis is a short run east on I-70 or down Highway 40/61. That is close enough that your project lead can stop by most days.

What moves the price in Lake St. Louis

We price exterior painting in Lake St. Louis from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.

• Amount of scraping and carpentry repair.
• Number of colors and the detail of the trim.
