Chester County, Pennsylvania
House Painters in West Chester, PA
West Chester is the county seat and the largest borough we cover.
The borough is a dense grid of nineteenth century brick and stucco: rows, twins and detached houses built right up to the sidewalk, with painted porches, cornices, shutters and window casings. A great deal of the brick has already been painted at some point, which sets the terms for everything that follows. Gay Street and High Street carry the commercial frontage.
West Chester University sits inside the borough, so alongside the owner-occupied housing there is a substantial rental stock that turns over on the academic calendar and needs repainting to a date.
What we see on West Chester houses
Painted brick and stucco facades
Once borough brick has been painted the decision is made, and the job becomes doing it properly: sound preparation, a primer intended for masonry, and a finish that will not sheet away from the wall in a few winters.
No side access on the row blocks
Facades that start at the sidewalk mean the front is worked from the street and the rear from a shared yard. Access, parking and the neighbors all get sorted before the first day rather than during it.
Porch and cornice woodwork
Deep porches, decorated cornices and heavy window casings are the labor in a West Chester exterior. Preparation is the majority of the time on site and it is where a low quote has always cut a corner.
Rental turnover to the academic calendar
Student housing near the university repaints inside a fixed changeover window. That work is booked to a date, and the date is agreed up front rather than treated as a target.
Subdivided older houses
Many large borough houses now hold several units. Stairwells, landings and shared halls take constant traffic and need a harder-wearing specification than a family living room.
Gay Street and High Street frontage
Commercial work in the center is painted wood, stucco and metal at street level, done around trading hours so a shop is not shut for it.
Third floor and dormer access on the tall borough houses
A lot of this stock runs to three full floors plus dormers, on a lot with no room to set anything up beside it. Reaching the top of the building safely is a large part of what an exterior here actually costs in time, and it is decided on the walk-round rather than on the day.
