Interior & Exterior Painting services in University City
University City sits just west of the St. Louis city line and shares its look. Most of it was built in the first decades of the 1900s, so brick is the rule: brick two story homes, brick flats, and large houses on the private streets near the Delmar Loop. Wood shows up as trim, cornices, porches, dormers and garages. Interiors are mostly plaster, often with picture rail, dark stained woodwork and radiators that take time to cut around. Old plaster cracks at the corners and above doors, and we repair it before paint. Almost all of this housing is older than 1978, so lead-safe work rules come up on most exterior trim jobs. Summer humidity and the freeze and thaw of a Missouri winter are hard on window sills and porch floors, which often need the most prep.

HOA and local rules
Painting alone does not normally need a building permit. Check with this office first if siding, trim, masonry or porch parts are being replaced, and ask your subdivision trustees or condo association about exterior colors if you have them. Homes built before 1978 fall under the federal EPA lead-safe renovation rule.
