Craig has done several interior and exterior projects for me. He is dependable, honest and does great work!

It's so easy to deal with Craig: professional, prompt, excellent care for your job, great work. Just use him.

Craig and his team are amazing. They have painted several of our homes and have always done a wonderful job. Their work is impeccable. They work quick and are always on time. Will use them over and over again for future jobs. Kelly Gurvis read more

Craig and the guys do great work. I had him out for some large walls at my entryway, as well as both of my staircases, and he also quoted some other work for me. I'm having him other work in the near future, since I was so happy with the initial job I hired him for. He also dropped off a color pallette during Christmas week, which was very convenient since I could find my color before having him out for another job prior to leaving for an out-of-town trip. read more

Craig and his crew are the best! They painted the exterior of our house. It desperately needed a new paint job. He also did some minor repair work to the siding. He takes pride in his work. He does what needs to be done so the job it done right. It looks like a different house now. We are extremely pleased with his work. Top recommendation for this company. read more

They did a great job painting the exterior trim on my house for a very fair price. They went above and beyond to make suggestions and be helpful. Clean, fast, fair. read more

How has Craig not been reviewed here yet!? I can't say enough good things about his work! I called Craig for a quote on a 2,300 sq. ft. condo in the NW suburbs that I was preparing to sell. He showed up on time, appeared knowledgeable about his craft, and was the only one to write up the estimate on the spot. He told me that he's being painting for 20+ years, so he knows what involved once he's viewed the space to be painted. The walls of this condo were nicotine covered in many places, and he assured me he could get it covered. I had another company tell me the walls would need to be washed. I'm not discounting their method, but would cost me at least 1K more had I gone that route. In the end I went with Craig because he appeared confident, experienced, and honest. His quote was somewhere in the middle of the five quotes that I received. The contractor that provided the lowest quote appeared unsure of what I wanted, and didn't offer advice like Craig had during the quote walk through. Craig made many good suggestions, all of which worked! Some of which involved other issues in the condo, like how to clean stained vents, doors and frames. I like that he shares his knowledge and offers suggestions. He went above an beyond when he also did some handy work that I didn't expect a painter to do. The only con I would mention is that he books fast, Spring-Fall. So, unless it's winter, or raining when he has an exterior job going, he might be able to squeeze a job in, otherwise plan to book in advance. The only other thing I noticed later while vacuuming was that some small splatters of paint made it to the carpet, and there was small spill in an area on my kitchen tile/grout. The kitchen spill had been cleaned up well, but you could faintly tell it was there only because the surrounding grout was dirty. Not a huge deal as the color was very similar to that of the carpet and tile/grout, and since the paint is water based I'm hoping it will become less noticeable as both are cleaned. I'm a little confused on how that happened when I saw them using a drop cloth... I did inquire about his service area for another job I have in the Oak Park/River Forest area, but that was a little too far for him during prime season. If you live South of the NW suburbs, call and maybe he can get you in during some down time, or around the off season. In the end I paid $3,500 for a big 3-bdrm 2,300 sq. ft. condo, and would definitely hire him again! read more

Craig from A. Spectrum prepped our two-tiered deck and sanded where needed before staining it. Craig was in constant communication with us as to when he would be here to prep the deck and when he would come out to sand and stain. We are extremely pleased with the end result and most importantly his professionalism! We look forward to working with him again on interior work and anyone we know who needs a painter Craig will be referred. Thanks A. Spectrum and Craig! read more

We have used A. Spectrum decorating for many projects both inside and outside. They always very professional and do great work. I've found their pricing to be extremely competitive. Highly recommend this company! read more

Excellent work. Response time was great -- quick to give a quote, got the work done quickly, and we are happy customers! It is very apparent that Craig knows his stuff and committed to a job well done. Highly recommend! read more

Very professional. I am very happy with their job. I had hail damage and the general contractor replaced the siding but left the trim so had to get a painter. I highly recommend this company. read more

The trim on my house was long overdue for painting, and I had some rotten wood that needed to be replaced. I got 3 estimates for it - two from local companies (including this one) and one from a national chain that has local franchises. The estimate from Craig was in the middle of the three, but closer to the highest estimate than the lowest. However, he was the most thorough during the inspection and estimate process and offered some great advice on the shutters and the color choice. He's knowledgeable and personable. They were great about scheduling the work so that I could be there (to protect them from my dog), and they were professional and efficient. I'd definitely call them again for additional painting jobs. read more

We asked Craig to provide an estimate for painting some rooms in our home, he was referred to us by one of my wife's co-workers. He showed up that afternoon, gave us an estimate and said he could start the following Monday (we met on Friday). We needed several rooms (ceilings, walls, doors, trim) painted, some with cathedral ceilings. We agreed to the cost and he was back on Monday to begin the work. Craig and his staff did a fantastic job. The quality of work was excellent. They moved/covered furniture when needed, cleaned up afterwards, and finished everything in only two days. I could not have asked for more. Craig is very friendly and professional, willing to answer any questions and give advice on work that I had planned on doing myself. It was a pleasure working with A Spectrum. If I have any future painting needs, I'm calling Craig. read more

We had the entire interior of our home painted about 10 months ago. Craig came quickly and gave a fair estimate. He also gave great advice on paint choices. The whole experience was very good. The crew was polite and respectful. They finished on budget and ahead of schedule. The paint job looked great. That alone is enough for a great review. What made me sit down to write this review, however, is our most recent experience. A few weeks ago, we moved some large furniture out of a room (furniture that had not been moved since they painted). There was some bleeding through of the old paint where the furniture was, and it was pretty splotchy. Now, this is 9 months after the original job, and it covered only one wall. I figured I would call and just ask if they could repaint it. Craig was very receptive, came out a day or two later, and repainted the whole thing. He also touched up a couple of other areas that were not errors, but a result of work we had done around the house since then. We were so impressed that he was quick to fix the painting error so long after the original job. For the touch ups not related to the original issue, we did pay him for his time, but we had to basically force him to take the money. This is the way business should run, eager to help correct any issues and polite/friendly on top of that! I would use them again in a second, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for great quality and great customer service. read more
