Not only does he paint, he also does many other things. He's a bit difficult to get a hold of since he himself is the company, but if you're not in rush, no biggie. Mike from Absolute has helped me tremendously. I only wish I knew him a long time ago so that he could've helped me with all the other problems I've had

However, what erked me and why only 3 stars was that they were finishing up so I left them the check as I had to go somewhere.

I really can't understand why someone would do that....anyways that was my experience

Jeff aka The Paint Doc is amazing. Despite a few schedule curveballs I unfortunately had to throw…read morehis way due to my condo closing pushing out by a week (ARGH!); he completed painting my entire condo on time and under his initial quote. There was a significant amount of wall repair (cracked drywall and some minor water damage from a small leak) that Jeff's team completed flawlessly. You'd never know in a million years that there was ever any damage to these walls. Moreover, the paint job is excellent. The ceilings are cut in with complete expertise. Bottom line - The Paint Doc did a fantastic job in only 4 days after we had orignally discussed a week; and the completed work was an extremely fair price (and under the quoted amount!).

Look no further this company is SPECTACULAR (but take this with a grain of salt since I've only…read moreused this company twice at the time I am writing this review)! I am always apprehensive to work with a new company when it comes to the design of my own home. John James Painters quelled all of my fears. The free consultation was the best. I was initially very worried but as they were answering my questions one at a time, my stress alleviated. This company did a fantastic job on painting the walls of my kitchen and dining room. The quality of work for these local painters was excellent compared to some painters I have used in the past. This team was very pleasant to have in my home and worked with me and my weird schedule. For relatively cheap painters (ask for quote on price by the way), I was surprised by the degree of excellence this team meticulously checked their work. These painters did a great job working around my thick shutters while still getting clean lines. I recommend John James Painters to all of my friends and anyone in the greater Chicago area. I will be coming back for any paint needs in the future!

It took me a while trying to find the right people for the job, I was a bit hesitant because it was such a big job and I wanted to go with the right guys and get the best deals. In the end, I chose these guys because they are truly pro painters. They were extremely professional throughout the whole process, and made sure everything they did was okay with me before they did it. For my home office, these guys surpassed any quality that I've seen other office painters do.   I seriously feel like the house is a completely new place. I highly recommend this group of pro painters to anyone looking for a high quality upgrade to various parts of their home. These guys are seriously titan painters. I can't wait to call them up for the next thing I have to get done. You won't go wrong with these guys! I've told all of my friends about them already. The price that they gave me was great as well. Great deal all around! You can also contact them to get a quote on the price for your specific dimensions.o

Just say no to this operation until Nathan figures out how to run his business. I had a horrid…read moreexperience with his company. By the looks of it, Living Social is giving him a lot of business and unfortunately he doesn't have the crew or organization skills to handle the volume of work. At first, it was extremely hard to even get a confirmed time to paint my place once Nathan came in and gave me an estimate. There was a lot of talk and promises to get back to me ASAP which never happened until I nagged over and over to please put something on the calendar. I don't think this business has a calendar. Appointments are handled via text and need constant babysitting/reminders to make sure that they actually happen. Don't get me wrong, Nathan is a nice person but is simply incapable of executing. He told me that he didn't have enough people to do the work and that he was hiring more contractors. I was annoyed but content thinking that it must mean his company does great work. Right? Wrong. When I finally had the appointment finalIzed, 2 guys showed up who clearly did not want to be there. They took breaks to smoke and relax and complained about the amount of work they have to do. Like what? Weren't you hired to do the work and aren't you getting paid for it? Mind you, it's not a 5 bedroom mansion we are talking about. I have a 1 bedroom apartment that is 810 sq ft. Ok, complain away as long as the quality of work was good, right? Wrong again. I am attaching the pics of their work for you to see, just so that you know I'm not just venting. I have hardwood floors and it was splattered with paint because they didn't have enough coverings to protect the floor. In fact they arrived with NO floor covers at all and had to leave to bring them. What painting pros get to the work site without basic necessities to do the job? The paint drops were alsoon my bathroom window, tiles and sinks. They also messed up my coat rack because instead of taking it off the wall, they decided to paint around it and of course painted directly on the mahogany wood of the rack. When I noticed what they did, they promptly removed the rack and tried to remove said paint and when all of it didn't come off, they gave me an advice on how to remove it myself. There were so many spots on walls that weren't painted through, I stopped counting and pointing them out. By 5pm one of the contractors faded entirely and just sat there talking about what he's going to do when he gets home and what type of food he's going to eat. So I paid them, saw them out and immersed myself in paint removal off the floor and other surfaces. I texted Nathan the next day and told him about my experience. I sent him the pics of the shoddy work. He appeared to be furious and straight out said "You're absolutely right. I just don't see how they did such crappy work... I'm going to give them a call to see what hell... That's just pure laziness and carelessness." I was being understanding and told him that he should probably reconsider hiring these guys again if he cares about the reputation of his business as much as he says he does. He promised to come out and fix everything as soon as possible. We scheduled for Friday afternoon and... I didn't hear from him. Two Friday's later, I sent him a text and told him that he obviously doesn't care about the company's reputation and that I don't even want to deal with this anymore. Needless to say, I do not recommend this business to anyone. Stay away.

This old house... one year into rehabbing and counting…read more (Interior painting vendor) I highly recommend Sean and his team. Top notch! Last year, I hired a couple professional painters from next door with great reviews but I was NOT happy with the final results. The work was ok. Some of the work... I'm touching up or repainting. The vendors were nice guys. This year I found Sean on instagram and he has a lot of great reviews online. So we hired Sean to paint a couple interior rooms, a back door and trim. During our walk through with Sean we learned that the kitchen cabinets were painted with house paint, not cabinet paint. This was before we bought the house and there was evidence of the paint chipping off. Sean suggested refinishing the cabinets. We were going back and forth on redoing the whole kitchen and starting from scratch. However, besides the prior poor paint job, the original kitchen cabinets are in great condition and we liked that they were the original cabinets. So we decided to also have him refinish our kitchen cabinets. Sean and his team did such a great job for us. They were punctual, easy to work with, kind, extremely clean, great communication and they are perfectionist! They really take great pride in the quality of their work. The quality of their work reminds me of my old painter of many years that retired. He was also a perfectionist. Our cabinets came out beautiful, they look like brand new cabinets and the finish looks so good. The other interior rooms, door and trim came out perfect. We are extremely happy with the end product.

Pretty horrible experience here from the start. Scott stood me up twice for two different…read moreappointments, neither time did he call, text or in anyway attempt to contact me near the appointment time. I also confirmed a day in advance that he would be there but still I wound up wasting time sitting around waiting for Scott to never show up. I should have walked away after the stood me up the first time but I decided to give him another chance as he came recommended, that was my mistake. While I cannot speak to his work because he never even showed up, I can say that if he is unwilling to show up to prescheduled appointments he should not be taking new clients. Be careful when attempting to work with Scott or he may no show, just like he did to me twice.

I contacted a few Yelp guys and they were all either unresponsive or booked for months on end. One of the guys was nice enough to refer me to Scott and I couldn't be more grateful. Scott responded to my inquiry immediately, set up a time that was convenient for me to come over, and give me a quote. The extremely convenient thing is he was able to do the painting while I was out of town. He was very candid offering to give me references and making the excellent point that he's trying to make a living on his one man business which is good enough for me! We got home after our trip and everything was not only perfectly painted, but he also wiped down all of the surfaces and it was almost as if he wasn't even there (basically). He also finished the project for less than he quoted me, as someone else said, and that was nice too. I will certainly be using him again once my sister and I can agree on paint colors beyond the white ceilings :)

We tried to get a proposal from another "Oak Park" firm (which is actually just an Oak Park mail drop) and they never even came back with a proposal.
