Interior Painting
Plaster walls, deep woodwork and generations of paint, on both sides of the tracks. We repair the plaster, sand the trim back so a new coat has something to hold onto, and cut clean lines against the original detail.

Painting, Restoration & Trim Installation in Wayne, PA
Much of what makes a Wayne house special is in its details, from deep eaves and shingle siding outside to rich plaster and original trim within. All of it takes longer to finish properly than a modern, flat-sided home. LX Pro Home prepares sound wood, restores interior plaster, and finishes surfaces across North and South Wayne with the care those details require.

Exterior Painting
Wood shingle siding, deep eaves, and complicated rooflines take far more preparation per square foot than a flat-sided house. Washing, surface preparation, and finish coats run March through November, while it is warm enough to cure. Structural wood repairs are identified before painting.
Restoration & Trim Installation
Baseboard, window and door casing, crown molding, interior door installation, and drywall, installed to sit cleanly with the rest of the house.
Local conditions shape the plan.

What Proper Preparation Looks Like Across North & South Wayne
South Wayne features large Victorians and Colonial Revivals on generous lots, making the challenge all about vast surface areas and elaborate details. North Wayne is tighter, with twins and smaller homes packed near the station, where the focus shifts to tight access and shared walls. Nonetheless, both present the same fundamental demand: shingle siding, deep eaves, and complex rooflines create far more edges to cut than a standard wall—and those edges are precisely where paint fails first.
Every project across both neighborhoods includes:
- Ladders and staging planned around deep eaves and steep rooflines
- Wood shingle siding washed, then scraped back to a sound edge
- Soft wood cut out and replaced before any finish goes on
- Lines cut by hand where woodwork meets stone and slate
- Plaster repaired and sound interior trim carefully prepared before painting starts
- Tighter street-side staging on the smaller North Wayne lots
- Two coats of Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore, no builder-grade finishes
- Tools and debris cleared at the end of every working day
What Wayne Homeowners Ask Before They Book
Does shingle siding cost more to paint than flat siding?
Yes. Shingle siding costs more to paint than flat siding because there is far more edge to cover in the same square footage. Every shingle has two sides and a bottom, and each one needs a brush rather than a roller. We measure the elevations at the estimate and price those extra hours on their own line so the number doesn’t become a surprise.
Can you paint around slate and stone without damaging them?
Yes. Painting around slate and stone is routine on Wayne houses, and the line where wood meets masonry is cut by hand rather than sprayed. Slate is brittle underfoot and stone will hold a stain that doesn’t come off, so both are protected before a brush goes anywhere near them.
Do you work in both North Wayne and South Wayne?
Yes. LX Pro Home works both North Wayne and South Wayne. The houses differ enough to change the plan—bigger homes on deeper lots to the south, twins and smaller singles within blocks of the station to the north—so the staging and the schedule change with them. The standard of preparation does not.
Protect Your Wayne Home’s Architectural Heritage
We’ll walk the property with you, inspect the eaves and shingle edges where moisture damage usually starts, and identify exactly what needs attention. The written proposal separates paint preparation from finish coats and flags structural wood repairs that must be completed by the appropriate specialist before painting.
