House Painters in Westover Hills, DE
Westover Hills is a planned residential enclave laid out in the 1920s and 1930s on the edge of Wilmington. It was designed as a single composition, with curving streets following the contour and houses set well back behind mature planting.
The houses are substantial and largely masonry: brick, stone and stucco, in period revival styles with slate roofs, dormers, shutters, deep eaves and multi-pane windows. Almost none of the wall surface needs paint. Almost all of the detail does, and there is a great deal of it.

What we see on Westover Hills houses
Extensive trim on masonry houses
Fascia, soffits, brackets, dormer cheeks, shutters, porch ceilings and window frames. On a house of this type the painted surface is a small fraction of the elevation and the large majority of the labor.
Multi-pane windows and original joinery
Divided-light windows mean many small panes, many glazing bars and slow careful cutting in. It is one of the clearest cases where a quote by square footage bears no relation to the actual work.
Slate, copper and details not to be painted
Period houses carry materials that should be left alone. Knowing what to paint and what to leave is part of the job, and getting it wrong is difficult and expensive to undo.
Mature planting close to the buildings
Ninety-year-old planting shades whole elevations and holds moisture against them. Those faces need washing and treating, and sometimes cutting back, before a coating will behave.
Why customers pick us
What stands behind the work is the Delaware license, the insurance, and a local owner-operated company that quotes every job from a real look at the building. Read what customers wrote on Google, or read how the business started.
