I've worked with Stephen for 10 years on many different types of painting and drywall repair projects. He has transformed many spaces for my clients. He is reliable, organized, communicative, honest and extremely conscientious. Above all, he is a knowledgeable and talented painter who cares about the details of every job. read more

Stephen was absolutely amazing. We hired him to paint two bedrooms in a condo, and he did such a great job we ended up having him paint the whole condo. Extremely reasonable rates, and very easy to work with. By the time he finishes your job you also have a new friend. I will definitely use him for all my future painting needs. read more

I am happy to recommend Stephen at Chicago Rent A Painter. My wife and I wanted to surprise our daughter with a repainted room before she got home from camp. Stephen came highly recommended from a good friend whose opinion I trust. He gave me a very fair and cost effective estimate for the 12x12 bedroom. Stephen arrived at the time he said he would, was very courteous and hard-working. He communicated very well about the job, keeping me apprised of the job progress. Stephen gave excellent advice about colors and contrast and numbers of coats needed. He's very knowledgeable about paint and works very efficiently. He put four coats on quickly and the room looks great! Stephen is a very nice man who does a solid reliable and professional job -- and at a terrific price. His cleanup was thorough. My daughter is going to love her new color! Thank you, Stephen. read more

After quotes from 3 different painters, picking Stephen was an easy choice to make. He showed the most care and knowledge in describing how he would paint our condo PLUS he had the lowest quote. Stephen was truly a pleasure to work with. He answered every question we had in detail, and helped me to understand all the different types of paints and finishes that I had to choose from. He kept the place clean while he worked, and was even willing to put up with our little dog while he worked. The finished product could not have impressed me more. His work was perfect. I can't wait to have Stephen back to paint more of the place (that is, if we ever make up our minds on a color...) read more

We had several quotes for painting our place which has 13ft ceilings and many stairwells and Stephens was the best and most reasonable. He was honest about the length of time it would take and did his best to work around our schedule. His estimate was significantly less than the other guys with the understanding it may take a few days longer. When he started to work I was wondering when he was going to start taping...next thing you know he's done with the bedroom and offered to paint a small area on our ceiling that was missed before. A sign of a true painting professional. I highly recommend Stephen and his painting talent as well as his humble demeanor and honest approach. Chicago Rent-A-Painter is a welcome and refreshing addition to the list of businesses I come in contact as a real estate agent. I'm so happy with the results that I'm hiring him to paint my parents house. read more

There is no doubt about it: Stephen and his coworker Tony are great at painting. But what really earns them 5 stars is their honest and friendly personalities. I really enjoyed hanging out and watching them work - they even gave me tips so that I could paint my own bedroom. Best of all, Stephens rates are SO reasonable. I am looking forward to hiring him again! read more

Stephen painted my whole condo in Lakeview. Awesome job, really easy, felt safe. My dog approved as well. We will be using Stephen for anther painting project read more

Stephen was fantastic. He went over and above every step of the process ... and even found me some ways to save a few dollars. He knew what he was doing and came prepared to get the job done. On top of everything else, he is a genuinely nice guy who is easy to work with. I now have my go-to guy whenever I need professional painting done! I highly recommend. read more

We got in touch with Stephen to paint our kitchen and bathroom. He gave us a reasonable quote and completed the work VERY quickly. The paint job was perfect, but he offered to return if we noticed any mistakes or decided that there were areas that needed touching-up. We will be using Chicago Rent-A-Painter again. Thanks for the excellent work, Stephen! read more

I have now hired Stephen twice and couldn't be happier with his work both times. He starts by giving a fair and accurate estimate for the work (typically a better deal than from others who priced the jobs), he then reliably does the work on schedule, solving all complications that inevitably come up on any job without hassle, and does a phenomenal job. Both paint jobs he did were of the highest quality. So -- good price, reliability, high-quality work; what's not to like? Oh, and Stephen's friendly and easy to work with too! read more

Stephen painted my bathroom and dining room in July. He is amazing! He pays attention to detail and cuts a perfect paint line. I was beyond pleased with the results! read more

I initially hired Stephen to paint three rooms in our condo. He did such a great job that I've had him back to paint the entire place: walls, ceilings, trim, windows and doors. His prices are very reasonable for the amount of work involved. Stephen really cares about his work and is very respectful of our space. He's responsive to emails and texts about schedules and timing. I highly recommend him! read more

Steven is so good! We hired him to paint our new apartment in Ravenswood and are completely satisfied with the entire experience. Great personality and easy to communicate with. The paint job is literally spotless and perfect. read more

We Love Stephen! He was so genuine and did a terrific job in our office and our living room, working around lots of big furniture. A VERY clean, even, professional job and didn't get paint anywhere but where it was supposed to be. Even did both ceilings which is a real pain to do yourself He is also better priced that anyone else we quoted. We will have him back again the next time we need a painter. read more

Stephen did a great job on the three rooms he painted in our condo. He was reasonably priced, good quality of paint and excellent work, easy to work with and professional. Stephen even came back out to retouch a few areas after the work was done and also helped my husband put our blinds back up. We really enjoyed working with Stephen and his crew and would definitely hire him back for other areas in our condo. read more

Stephen came recommended from someone who is very particular about his place. I knew that if this person liked him, then Stephen was good. Stephen lived up to my expectations and beyond. Not only is he professional in how he approached the job, but he was meticulous in the completion of it. He painted many rooms in my condo and would not finish until is was all done perfectly. His work was timely and his prices so reasonable. I had a touch up that I needed taken care of after I nicked a wall, and he came back to repair it quickly and excatly. I not only highly recommend him but will hire him when I want my place painted again. read more
