O'Fallon homes and this kind of project
An exterior repaint in O'Fallon means working in two-stories and atrium ranches from the 1985 to 2010 boom, 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: mostly 1985 to 2010 production two-stories, ranches and atrium ranches, with older ranches and bungalows near the original town center.
Hardboard siding and wood brickmould need repair before paint on homes of this era.
Lots, exteriors and approvals in O'Fallon
Decks from the 1990s are reaching the end of their life, and we replace many with composite. Wood brickmould and garage door trim rot at the base. Established trees give some lots good shade, but west-facing patios still call for a roof.
Hardboard siding, wood brickmould and builder-grade vinyl windows on O'Fallon 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 O'Fallon 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 O'Fallon, from the Highway K corridor to old town O'Fallon and WingHaven.
What we watch for
Homes in O'Fallon with wood windows clad only on the sash frequently have soft exterior sills. We probe every one before quoting.
Working on established subdivision lots with fenced rear yards, as we do in O'Fallon, we plan access for painters and a carpenter for rot repair before the first delivery arrives.
Permits and approvals in O'Fallon
In O'Fallon, an exterior repaint is reviewed by the City of O'Fallon building division. What follows is no permit, though HOA color approval may apply.
Exterior work in O'Fallon can also involve neighborhood HOAs and, in WingHaven, a master association, and we put that package together for you.
Schedule and getting to you
Most O'Fallon clients see three to seven working days of construction for an exterior repaint.
From our Wentzville base, O'Fallon is fifteen minutes or so east on I-70 or I-64. That is close enough that your project lead can stop by most days.
What moves the price in O'Fallon
We price exterior painting in O'Fallon from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.
- House size, height and how accessible the walls are.
- Amount of scraping and carpentry repair.
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 O'Fallon page.
Exterior Painting in O'Fallon: common questions
How long does an exterior repaint take in O'Fallon?
Three to seven working days for most homes, depending on weather. In O'Fallon, permit review by the City of O'Fallon building division and material lead times affect the start date more than our calendar does.
Do I need approval beyond a permit for an exterior repaint in O'Fallon?
Possibly. In O'Fallon you may be dealing with neighborhood HOAs and, in WingHaven, a master association. City or county approval and private approval are separate, and we prepare both submittals and wait for written approval before ordering materials.
How long should exterior paint last?
Seven to ten years on well-prepared siding with premium paint. South and west elevations and horizontal trim may need attention sooner.
