Painting Service Areas Across Southeast Wisconsin & Northern Illinois

Milwaukee's housing stock is older than almost anything else in the state — Polish flats and duplexes on the south side, Cream City brick and big Victorians on the east side, bungalows almost everywhere in between.

Brookfield sits just west of the county line, and much of it was built as subdivisions of mid-century ranches and colonials on generous, wooded lots.

Tosa is an inner-ring suburb with real architectural character — Tudors, Colonial Revivals and Craftsman homes on tight, tree-lined streets, plus the shops and restaurants of the Village.

Waukesha is the county seat, and its housing runs the full range: century-old homes near the downtown springs district, post-war neighborhoods, and newer construction pushing out toward the edges.

Menomonee Falls grew outward from an old village center, so a compact historic core sits surrounded by decades of subdivisions and a good deal of commercial and light-industrial space along the highways.

Sussex is one of the faster-growing villages in Waukesha County, with a lot of housing built recently enough that the original builder-grade finish is now reaching the age where it wants redoing.

Shorewood packs 1920s Tudors, bungalows and side-by-side duplexes onto small lots a few blocks from Lake Michigan.

Whitefish Bay is North Shore Milwaukee at its most established — Tudor and Colonial Revival homes under mature trees, with detail work that deserves a careful hand.

Brown Deer is largely post-war: ranches, split-levels and Cape Cods on quiet residential streets at the north edge of Milwaukee County.

Greenfield sits on Milwaukee's southwest side, a suburb of mostly post-war homes with apartment and condominium buildings mixed through it.

Franklin has grown into the open land at the southwest corner of Milwaukee County, so newer subdivisions on large lots sit alongside older properties and a good amount of new construction.

Oak Creek runs down the lakefront south of Milwaukee and has been among the county's fastest-growing communities, with new residential and commercial development alongside long-standing neighborhoods.

Muskego is built around its lakes, which gives it a mix of year-round homes, lake properties and plenty of decks, railings and exterior woodwork facing the water.

Oconomowoc is Lake Country: a historic downtown, lake homes with real architectural detail, and newer development spreading around them.

Lake Geneva is a resort town, which changes the calendar more than the work: a lot of property here is seasonal or rented out, and painting is best done in the windows between guests.

Kenosha is our nearest city — a lakefront town of historic districts, bungalows and worker cottages, sitting on the commuter line between Milwaukee and Chicago.

Somers sits immediately north of Kenosha, where subdivisions, older farmhouses and rental housing near UW-Parkside all share the same few roads.

Lake Forest is the North Shore at its grandest — large historic homes on wooded lots, with the kind of exterior millwork and interior woodwork that takes real time to prepare.

Northbrook is a settled North Shore suburb with a mix of mid-century houses and later rebuilds, plus a good deal of office and retail space along its main corridors.

Lincolnshire is a wooded Lake County village built largely around subdivisions and a corporate corridor, so residential and commercial work sit side by side.

Barrington keeps its older village core and a lot of large, wooded properties around it, including plenty of cedar, stained trim and outbuildings.
