Your Home Gets the Protection It Deserves

You know what happens when paint jobs are rushed. Peeling after one winter. Fading by summer. Touch-ups that never quite match.

That’s not what you get here. When we handle your painting project, you’re looking at years of protection and curb appeal that actually holds up to Chicago’s weather extremes.

The difference starts with proper preparation. We don’t just roll paint over existing problems. Every surface gets cleaned, primed, and prepped the right way. Then we use paints that are specifically chosen for Chicago’s climate – materials that expand and contract with temperature swings without cracking or peeling.

Your neighbors will notice the difference. More importantly, you’ll have one less thing to worry about for years to come.

Here's Exactly How We Handle Your Project

Every painting project starts with a detailed assessment of your surfaces and a clear estimate. We walk through exactly what needs to be done, what materials we’ll use, and how long it will take.

Preparation comes next, and this is where most painting contractors cut corners. We don’t. Every surface gets properly cleaned, scraped if needed, and primed with the right products. For exterior work, we pay special attention to caulking and sealing – critical steps that prevent moisture damage down the road.

The actual painting happens systematically, with attention to weather conditions and proper drying times between coats. We use drop cloths, protect your landscaping, and clean up completely each day. When we’re finished, you get a paint job that looks professional and lasts like it should.

Interior Exterior Painting Chicago

Complete Painting Services for Chicago Properties

Whether you need interior rooms refreshed or exterior surfaces protected, we handle residential and commercial painting projects throughout Chicago. Our interior painting services cover everything from single rooms to whole-house projects, with careful attention to protecting your furniture and floors.

For exterior painting, we understand Chicago’s unique challenges. We time projects to avoid extreme weather, use paints formulated for Midwest conditions, and pay special attention to areas that take the most abuse from wind, rain, and temperature changes.

Every project includes proper surface preparation, quality materials, and thorough cleanup. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your routine, but we never rush the steps that determine how long your paint job will last. You get professional results that protect your investment and look great for years.

Quality exterior paint should last 7-10 years in Chicago when properly applied. The key factors are surface preparation, using paint designed for Midwest weather conditions, and applying it during optimal weather windows. Cheaper paints or rushed application can fail in 2-3 years, especially on surfaces that face harsh winter winds or intense summer sun. We use paints specifically formulated to handle Chicago’s temperature swings and moisture levels, which is why our exterior work holds up longer than typical paint jobs.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for exterior painting in Chicago. We typically schedule exterior projects from May through October, avoiding periods of high humidity or temperature extremes. The ideal conditions are temperatures between 50-85°F with low humidity and no rain in the forecast for 24-48 hours. We monitor weather closely and will reschedule if conditions aren’t right, because painting in poor weather conditions leads to adhesion problems and premature failure.
We use professional-grade drop cloths and plastic sheeting to protect all surfaces before any paint work begins. Furniture gets moved to the center of rooms and covered completely. Floors are protected with canvas drop cloths that won’t slip or allow paint to seep through. We also remove outlet covers, tape off trim carefully, and use low-tack painter’s tape that won’t damage existing finishes. At the end of each day, we clean up completely and remove any protective materials from walkways so you can use your home normally.
Yes, we provide color consultation as part of our service. We can help you choose colors that work well together and select the right paint finishes for different areas of your home. For example, we might recommend satin or semi-gloss finishes in bathrooms and kitchens where moisture is a concern, while suggesting eggshell or flat finishes for living areas. We also consider factors like lighting, room size, and existing décor when making recommendations. Our goal is to help you get colors and finishes you’ll love for years to come.
Most interior painting projects take 2-5 days depending on the size and scope of work. A single room typically takes 1-2 days including prep work and cleanup. Whole-house interior projects usually take 4-7 days. The timeline depends on factors like how much prep work is needed, the number of colors being used, and drying time between coats. We provide a detailed timeline with your estimate and keep you updated on progress throughout the project. We work efficiently but never rush the steps that ensure quality results.
Our estimates include all labor, materials, surface preparation, and cleanup. We specify exactly which surfaces will be painted, how many coats will be applied, and what type of paint will be used. The estimate also covers moving furniture, protecting surfaces, minor surface repairs like filling nail holes, and complete cleanup each day. We don’t charge extra for normal prep work or cleanup – that’s all part of doing the job right. The only additional costs would be for unexpected issues discovered during the project, which we discuss with you before proceeding.
