Interior Painting
Victorian brick rowhouses and twins mean plaster walls, deep trim profiles, and decades of layered paint. We set and fill nail pops, repair the plaster, and cut clean lines against original millwork.
Pre-War Plaster, Deep Trim, Painted-Shut Sash
Painting, Restoration & Trim Installation in West Chester, PA
Cracked plaster, trim buried under decades of paint, windows that haven't opened in years. Old borough houses are full of things most contractors would rather cover up than fix. LX Pro Home repairs them first, so you end up with a house that looks the way it was built to look, not one with the problems painted over.

Painting, Restoration & Trim Installation Built for West Chester's Attached Brick Rowhouses
Exterior Painting
Power washing, wood and trim preparation, stucco and plaster patching, then finish coats all run from the street side of an attached facade. Structural wood repairs are identified during the estimate. Booking opens March and closes in November.
Restoration & Trim Installation
For owners of the borough's historic houses: plaster repair, careful preparation of original trim, baseboard, casing, crown molding, interior door installation, drywall, and separately scoped renovation work.
Local conditions shape the plan.

How a Rowhouse Job Runs, From Staging to Final Coat
We stage off the sidewalk, make every surface sound underneath that setup, and paint last.
Downtown, the sidewalk is the whole work area. Your house starts right at the pavement and shares a wall with your neighbor, so we plan the ladders around the width of your home, leave room for people to walk past, and clear the street every evening. The scaffolding goes up once, all the repairs happen underneath it, and paint is the last thing that goes on.
Here's what that covers, start to finish:
- Ladders and scaffolding planned around the width of your home
- Power washing, then scraping back to sound wood and plaster
- Failed patches cut out and floated flush before primer goes on
- Sound sills, windows, and shutters prepared and refinished from the same setup; structural issues flagged before coating
- Hand-cut lines where your facade meets your neighbor's brick
- Interior plaster and deep trim profiles sounded, cut out, and floated flush
- Two coats of Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore, no builder-grade
- Tools and debris off the street at the end of every working day
What West Chester Homeowners Ask Before They Book
My windows have been painted shut for years. Can you get them opening again?
We prepare and repaint sound original windows. Structural window repair, reglazing, and replacement are outside our scope; if those are needed, we identify them during the walkthrough so the work can be completed before painting.
I share a wall with my neighbor. Does their side get involved?
No. The shared wall between attached houses in West Chester is structural and interior, so painting happens on your street facade only. Where your facade meets your neighbor's, we mask and cut the line by hand at the property boundary. If our ladder will cross onto a neighbor's frontage for a day, we mention it to you during the estimate and knock on their door before the first ladder goes up.
Does an attached house downtown cost more to paint than a detached one?
Usually yes. Painting an attached house in downtown West Chester costs more than a detached one for two reasons a suburban quote rarely carries. The first is access: working off a public sidewalk takes more setup, repositioning, and protection than a driveway and a side yard allow. The second is repair—sills, windows, trim profiles, and plaster all have to be made sound before any finish is worth applying. Both are priced on their own lines, and we will not quote a borough facade from a photograph.
We Fix the Things You've Stopped Noticing
Most homeowners here have a list of things they've stopped noticing: the crack above the door, the window that sticks, the trim that's lost its shape. We'll walk the house with you, tell you honestly what's worth fixing and what isn't, and show you what it would take to get the place looking right again.
