CHJ just completed a total do over of our 60 year old garage. Repairing, patching and sanding our walls, ceiling and doors. Change out of all electrical outlets, light switches and new LED ceiling lights. And last but not least a complete fixing of our old pock marked and chipping floor with new colored epoxy. All came out beautifully. Chris was prompt with returning my request for an estimate and very attentive throughout the entire process. His price was accurate to my needs and very fair. Chris is one of the best General managers of a team I have ever dealt with. First his crew, all fantastic!! Talented, thorough, unbelievably respectful of our property and concerns. Just all really nice guys, great job hiring and keeping this level of talent. As I mentioned Chris was awesome, there each and every day managing and chipping in work with the crew. His attentiveness to my needs and question was appreciated. I've dealt with few other contractors that gave that level of connectivity. The prep installation and clean up all went flawlessly. Super happy with the job and thanks to Chris and his crew. I would highly recommend checking them out. read more

See all

CHJ, once again, knocked it out of the park with their high quality of work, painting, and careful preparation to protect the furniture, floors, and rooms not getting painted. Chris and his team are always very polite and accommodating. We trust them and know they will always give us a fair quote for their work. They will continue to be our go-to for our home improvements. Highly recommended! read more

Our small condo building (100+ years old) in downtown Chicago has used CHJ's business partner (Wojtek at Voy-Tech) for a number of varied projects (new concrete parking area, exterior siding repair and re-staining, exterior brick replacement, and tree removal). Good folks, excellent work, and very fair prices. We'll continue to use them for all our upcoming projects. read more

Disjointed communication, overall. Days between emails (with promises of responses by end of day). No information about how long certain projects would take (i.e. two days initially committed to, then multiple days of spacing with no communication and ladders left in our home, which we then had to email about). Supplies were not prepared on time, although they said paint would be there. (They only supplies that were on time were tiles we bought ourselves.) Workers were late with no communication about their timeframe. They said parking was an issue when there are five open spots behind the building that were available during each one of their working days. Additional charges were added to bills after the fact for "management fees", after work was done that was less than satisfactory. Not a great experience. read more

This was the 4th or 5th time we have used Chris and company over the last handful of years. This time they refinished all of our interior doors, replaced two doors, painted two bathrooms and replaced a kitchen sink and faucet. All the workers were professional and the final results were high quality. The process of refinishing doors can be a messy one, but CHJ did a great job keeping the dust to a minimum. We will definitely use CHJ again! read more

We had to wait a while to book our front deck project with CHJ/Chris; it was worth it. We are very pleased with the quality of CHJ's crew, their promptness and conscientious work ethic. Historic, six-unit condo building. Our front decks resemble the wide, overhang covered decks found in New Orleans. Wood columns, iron railings, wood door trim--all peeling and worn. The bid was fair, work was even more extensive than originally anticipated. One deck floor had been stained by a former owner and required many hours to sand. Yet, Chris stuck to the original proposal cost. We definitely will hire CHJ for future projects. read more

Chris and his team did a small job for us in the kitchen , repairing the dry wall and pruning/ painting. They were timely, very responsive, cleaned up after themselves and made sure we were satisfied with the work performed. Highly recommend! read more

Needed painting service on short notice in a very small timeframe. They were extremely accommodating and did a great job. Required very little effort from me to get exactly what I wanted. read more

Chris was very responsive to email and came out quickly to assess our condo in Rogers Park. He turned around a written quote within a couple days. The price was reasonable and the paint job was high quality meaning no sloppiness with paint drips here and there (the type of thing that usually drives me crazy after other paint jobs). Definitely recommend! read more

We needed our living/dining room repainted and then as we had the floors redone we needed the base boards and toe kicks repainted. CHJ Painting came recommended from the building management so I gave him a ring. Chris gave us a reasonable quote and perfect follow thru. Chris' crew was on time, and did an excellent job. I not only will recommend him highly and and I cannot wait repaint something. read more

Extremely happy with CJH Painting & Remodeling.. Pricing was competitive, quick response on quote, painters arrived on time both days, covered furniture and wood floor prior to painting and drywall fix. They did a beautiful job. I highly recommend and will hire them again. read more

Five stars to CHJ Painting & Remodeling. High quality work. Reasonable price. Nice people. We would definitely use this Company again and recommend them with confidence. Husband and I decided to remodel our apartment. Thanks to fellow Yelpers, we found CHJ and they did an AMAZING job for us! From the beginning, Chris, the owner, was very responsive and helpful in providing on-site consultation, written quotation, timeline estimate, Certificate of Insurance, answers to our questions and suggestions. Over the 5-day period, Ernesto and Philippe, staff of CHJ, would arrive promptly at 8 am daily to perform the day-long remodeling work. They removed the old wall paper, demolished the old kitchen cabinets/countertop, removed wall tiles, repaired drywalls, painted bathroom/kitchen/feature wall in the dining room/ceiling/shelving/trimmings/doors/medicine cabinets, fixed the kitchen floor, helped the disposal of debris and did many other things. Ernesto and Philippe are diligent, efficient and very respectful to our home and belongings. They worked Sat AND Sun to expedite our project and they must have many customers awaiting for their services as well. They are very conscientious in keeping our home clean and making the minimum level of noise. They put tarps to protect the flooring of our home. They even put tarps from our door all the way to the elevator, to protect the carpet of the hallway when they hauled the debris out. Everyday Chris would stop by at least once to check on the project. He is knowledgeable and has high safety and workmanship standards. Chris demonstrates the qualities of a good project manager and a good boss through how engaged he was with the project and his staff. Chris was accommodating to the additional work we requested and the project was completed on time, as estimated, and on budget, as quoted. At the end of the project, Chris, Ernesto and Philippe all ensured us that they will help us with minor touch-ups after our new kitchen cabinets are installed and any future projects, big or small, should we need them. It is the little things that you do to make your business stands out from others. CHJ Painting & Remodeling has shown us its awesomeness through many little things. We will definitely be its returned customer. Thank you, Chris, Ernesto and Philippe for an outstanding remodeling experience!! read more

I had new carpet installed and needed about a dozen doors shaved down. CHJ had good reviews on Yelp so I thought I would give them a chance. Typical of your small business working man doing it all themselves, I found CHJ a little challenging to get ahold of to schedule the work, but once I did, CHJ was professional, showed up on time, knocked the job out in a satisfactory way and were fairly priced to boot. I really appreciate CHJ taking care of this job for me and I will keep them on file for future jobs. Thanks again. read more

We used CHJ Painting a second time to paint our new condo. They did five rooms. They were as good if not better than the first time. One room they had to paint over orange walls three times to cover it. No extra charge for that. I recommended them to a friend who highly endorsed the quality of their work. It was a very pleasant crew who gladly helped us with some non painting issues. Again no extra charge. They were spotless in their cleanup each night. I strongly recommend them. read more

From start to finish the project of our basement remodel was done smoothly with Chris and his team. Within 4 days his team was able to redo the floors, stairs, ceiling replacement and removal of old items in the basement. They kept the work space very clean and adhered to all covid precautions with masks. The remodel reflects high quality work and communication was very easy. read more

We had a great experience this year with this group. They gutted our kitchen and mudroom and it turned out great!! They were professional and timely and a great price. I would highly recommend. I will most likely call again for a few other projects! read more

I just used CHJ Painting & Remodeling again to fix the ceiling in two rooms in my house, and again they were awesome!!! Chris is the best!

I highly recommend Chris and his guys! From beginning to end, we were happy. We had hardwood floors put in and the work is amazing! he was so nice, the quality was excellent and he was very neat. We also had interior painting done. The painters did a great job- the lines were perfect and the paint looks awesome. They cleaned up after themselves every day and were so nice. Chris takes pride in his company and on making his clients happy and it shows. read more

Had Chris & his team put new tile floors in kitchen and foyer, painted back porch and put some new ceiling tiles to replace some damaged ones in basement of my dad's house. Gratitude for once again doing an outstanding job! read more

Awesome job guys, Our house looks totally different. Completely new look, ever since the house has been painted, we have got real good compliments on our house. We also, recommended his work to few of our family members. since, they really like it. Thks once again Kris, for giving us new look on our house :) read more

Unfortunately I did not have a chance to experience their work. I've heard they are awesome. However, The price that was quoted to me was about double (2x) the other quotes I got for the same job from at least two other providers. So, Be prepared for a little price shock when you get that estimate... They came over quick and did prove a quick estimate! read more

I recently had my entire condo repainted by Chris and his staff. It looks beautiful! In addition, I was very impressed with how professional and thorough everyone was including helping me select the correct type of paint for my home. It also helped that Chris's company accepted credit cards. I would highly recommend CHJ Painting & Remodeling for anyone looking to have their home painted. read more

Use these guys. CHJ Painting generously sponsored the painting of Actors Gymnasium's new studio for early childhood classes and to help us build a program for students with special needs and disabilities. They have hearts of gold, got Sherwin Williams to provide the paint, worked ahead of schedule, and even provided food for the grand opening. read more

We used CHJ painting and remodeling for re-painting a couple of rooms and a lot of touch up work including caulking and fixing where the drywall was damaged. They were very thorough doing each spot and even went to get matching paint when one of the colors ran out. They were also very neat and did the entire job in one day, and the project leader was careful to make sure we communicated well. The cost was reasonable. Highly recommended. read more

CHJ Painting transformed our 113 year old crumbly basement walls into a clean and brightly lit area for laundry and storage. They were very affordable with the most competitive rate. They were on time in starting and finishing. They cleaned up incredibly well and we were able to use the area without further clean up. The crew was professional and kind. We highly recommend them and would use them again. read more

Chris and his colleagues have been helping us for years, with great patience, skill, and a marvelous sense of color & design. The folks at CHJ are a pleasure to work with and terrific at helping you reach the best outcome. read more

Called them to make an appointment to get an estimate....had to take time off of work to do so. No show! When I called them to find out why they were late, was told they forgot all about the appointment! read more

We were very happy with the work of CHJ Painting -- they worked as unobtrusively as possible, given they were painting our apartment, and when they were finished each day, they cleaned up completely despite having to return the next day. When the work was finished, we had a beautifully painted apartment with absolutely no residual mess at all. And, they were priced fairly as well! read more

Chris and his crew were good to work with. We had him come in to do a job following a flood to repair walls that had been cut, replace drywall, sand and paint and add molding and chair rails. Even though we were a small job and he had numerous jobs to do he fit us in, in a timely manner, often working late to finish. While he was here we ran into plumbing problems unrelated to him and he worked with them to cut more walls to allow them to work and then came back timely to repair them. His prices were reasoanable and his estimate accurate. Theere was only a small addtional charge for the added work done. We would definitely use his company again. read more

I had Chris and his team paint the inside of my condo. They showed up on time and did excellent work for a great price. I highly recommend them. read more

We recently had our new condo completely repainted by CHJ Painting and Remodeling and are extremely happy with the results. There was also a lot of work that needed to be done repairing the walls. The building is about 100 years old, so the walls have been through a lot! There were several holes from different wiring projects (mounted tv, surround sound, internet connectivity, etc), not to mention cracks from time, and the wear and tear of how many previous owners! From the original quote visit, Chris was friendly and professional. He pointed out areas that could use repair that I hadn't noticed yet. He also gave a lot of great advice on how he would approach the project. We also had a pretty tight timeline as we wanted to have the whole unit finished before we moved in, and he let us know that he would be able to finish on schedule. We got the official quote very soon after the visit and it was very competitive and affordable compared to a few other places we checked. The repair & painting process went pretty quickly and Chris was great to worth with through it all. He would call us with updates every couple of days. He was also very understanding of all of the rules of our condo building. We have now moved in and we love it! We would use him again for any similar projects in the future and recommend him to anyone that needs painting or wall repair. read more

I recently used Chris and his guys to paint my garage door in order to avoid a violation from the Homeowner Assoc. Not only did he get it done if a few days, the door looks great, was a very reasonable price and they left the extra paint so I could touch up door in the future. High recommendation and would definitely use them again! Thanks again! read more
