Painters in Glendale
Homeowners looking for painters in Glendale usually own a house that went up between 1937 and 1958, when the west side filled in fast with wartime and post-war subdivisions like Glendale Gardens. These are honest brick ranches and minimal-traditional cottages on roomy lots, and after seventy years most are on their third or fourth round of trim paint.
Oasis Painters works out of 2384 S West Temple in South Salt Lake, a short drive east of Glendale across I-15. We paint interiors and exteriors in the 84104 neighborhood from the 9 Line Trail down to SR-201, east and west of the Jordan River.
A neighborhood built in a hurry, holding up well
Glendale’s residential core is compact, mostly east of Redwood Road, because more than half the neighborhood’s land is zoned industrial. What was built here was built practically: brick bodies that never needed paint, with wood or aluminum soffits, fascia, window trim and porch posts that do.
A few older homes survive along California Avenue east of the river, including the 1876 George Q. Cannon House, and newer townhomes and apartments are scattered through the area. But the typical Glendale project is a post-war rancher with original trim, maybe aluminum siding on a gable end, and a detached garage that needs the same attention as the house.
Glendale has no historic district and almost no HOAs on its single-family streets, so color decisions are yours. We’ll help you pick a trim palette that suits the brick you already have.
Full sun, lake wind and winter soot
The west side gets less shade than the older east-side neighborhoods. Glendale sits on the valley floor around 4,230 feet in full summer sun, and south- and west-facing trim fades and chalks faster than you’d expect. Being closer to the Great Salt Lake also means northwest winds and the occasional lake-effect storm pushing grit against the siding.
Winter is the other half of the story. Glendale sits in the thick of the valley’s inversions, and by March there is a film of fine particulate on every north- and west-facing surface. Paint will not bond to it, so every exterior we do here starts with a thorough wash, and on aluminum we de-chalk and use a bonding primer first.
Freeze-thaw cycles finish off old caulk, so we re-caulk every window and trim joint rather than spot-fixing the obvious gaps.
Interior painting for Glendale homes
Many Glendale homeowners are young families or long-time owners refreshing a house they bought years ago, and interiors are where we spend much of our time here. Post-war ranches tend to have plaster or early drywall, smaller rooms, and original wood trim and doors painted many times over.
Our interior painting crews patch cracks, sand glossy old trim so new enamel sticks, and use low-odor paints so you can sleep in the house the same night. Kitchens and bathrooms get a scrubbable finish, and we’re happy to paint a basement being finished for a growing household.
Because so much of the neighborhood predates 1978, we treat old painted trim and sashes as if lead could be present, with sealed drop cloths and careful cleanup each day.

Why Glendale homeowners choose Oasis Painters
We’re a locally owned and operated painting company, not a franchise, and Glendale is one of the closest neighborhoods to our shop. A few reasons neighbors keep calling us back:
- Short drive, easy scheduling. We’re just across I-15, so small jobs, color samples and follow-up visits are no trouble.
- Post-war house experience. Aluminum trim, hardboard soffits and painted brick foundations each need the right primer.
- Straightforward pricing. You get a written scope and a fixed price before we pick up a brush.
- Respect for the neighborhood. Glendale residents speak more than 25 languages, and we work with families, not around them.
- Licensed and insured, with the same crew on your job from start to finish.
How a Glendale exterior repaint goes
We come out for a free consultation, measure the trim and siding, and point out anything that needs repair, like a rotted fascia board under a failed gutter. You’ll have a written proposal within days.
On day one the crew washes the house and lets it dry. Day two is scraping, sanding, wood repair and priming. Then we caulk, mask the brick and windows, and apply two coats, usually sprayed and back-brushed on wood trim. Most Glendale ranches take three to five working days.
We finish with a walk-through, and if anything isn’t right we fix it before we call the job done. Our exterior painting page covers prep in detail, and neighbors in West Valley City and South Salt Lake get the same process.
Frequently asked questions
Do you paint aluminum siding and trim on Glendale homes?
Yes. Many 1950s and 60s homes here have aluminum that has chalked over the years. We wash it, remove the chalk, apply a bonding primer and finish with a satin acrylic that flexes with the metal.
Does Glendale have historic-district or HOA color rules?
No. Glendale has no historic district, and the post-war single-family streets have no HOA. Only a few newer townhome projects have associations, and we’ll help with color approval if you’re in one.
How long does an exterior paint job last on the west side?
With good prep and a quality acrylic, painted wood trim here typically lasts five to seven years, aluminum a bit longer. Full-sun south and west sides wear first.
Can you paint while we're living in the house?
Yes. Inside, we work room by room with low-odor paints and clean up daily. Outside, you may need to keep windows closed during spraying, but that’s about it.
Do you serve the Glendale Park and Jordan River side of the neighborhood?
We serve all of Glendale, from the homes near Glendale Park and the golf course to the blocks along 900 West and California Avenue, plus the 84119 slice to the west.
