Services
Interior Painting
Our interior painting service transforms living spaces through meticulous preparation and premium finishes. We begin with protective measures, surface repair, and dust-free sanding before applying two coats of Benjamin Moore paint. Our process ensures clean lines, seamless finishes, and thorough cleanup, creating beautiful, long-lasting results that enhance home aesthetics.
Cabinet Painting
Revitalize cabinets with our professional painting and refinishing service. We use specialized techniques to achieve factory-quality finishes, including proper sanding, priming, and application of durable Benjamin Moore and Old Masters products. This cost-effective solution updates kitchen aesthetics while maintaining functionality throughout the transformation process.
Exterior Painting
Protect and enhance home exteriors with our comprehensive painting service. We power wash surfaces, replace damaged wood, apply proper primers, and use premium Benjamin Moore and Cabot stains. Our process ensures proper sealing against elements while delivering durable, visually appealing finishes that withstand Chicagoland weather conditions.
Commercial Painting
Transform commercial spaces with our tailored painting solutions. We work closely with business owners to minimize disruption while delivering professional results using Benjamin Moore industrial coatings. Our service includes surface-specific preparation, appropriate product selection, and timely execution to enhance business environments while maintaining operational continuity during projects.
Deck Pressure Washing
Restore outdoor spaces with our pressure washing and sealing service. We remove built-up grime and old finishes before applying protective sealants that extend deck longevity. This process enhances wood appearance while creating a clean, safe surface that withstands seasonal changes and regular use.

I have been working with Don since we moved here in 1999. He has taken care of 2 homes for us - picking out just the right colors for each room. He has worked with many friends and neighbors as well. I do recommend him highly. Don you rock!
