I hired Steve and his team to paint the entire interior of our house after we bought it and before moving in. Steve and his team were super communicative, worked fast and our walls look great. Even with some minor setbacks (out of their control) they were still able to finish on time for us to move in on our originally scheduled date. Steve was easy to reach via text with any concerns or feedback and quick to integrate it into the work. Finally, we received several quotes for the painting job and their prices were super reasonable. Highly recommend them and will be hiring for future painting projects!! read more

Steve sent two of his guys to remove wallpaper, patch, and repaint a wall in our master bedroom. They did a great job - you would never know there used to be wallpaper on the wall. This service was difficult to find in the city, so a big thank you to Steve and his team for coming through. read more

I hired them to install peel and stick wallpaper on two walls in a guest room. They did an amazing job and the owner, Steve, even stopped by to check on progress, which I thought was nice, especially given it was a small project. Would Definitely hire again. read more

I hired this company to do some dry wall and painting for my aunt inside her house after a very bad experience with another GC. Painting Express did a great job. They were nice on the phone, sent a proposal that was very reasonable. They arrived on time and did a great job. They cleaned up after themselves and didn't leave a mess, really. The guy we dealt with was Steve. Everything was great with this job and I would not hesitate to use them again! Thank you, Steve! read more

I hired this company to install wallpaper in my staircase and powder room. I was initially very happy with the 2 day job. The 2 guys were very hardworking and pleasant. A short time afterwards, I noticed some bubbles in a small area of the staircase wallpaper. I contacted Steve, and he eventually got it scheduled, I asked, since they were going to be here again, could they paint the primary bathroom. So that it wasn't a day lost. Thinking that they were going to fix the small wallpaper a couple of 2 feet sheets, and it would be fixed. Instead, they injected some glue into the paper and said, that should fix it. I was surprised, because injecting the wallpaper was never communicated to me. I asked they guy if they were going to do the bathroom, and one of the men said, "we are too busy." Initially, they said Steve's on his way, as they were running out the door, I asked, is Steve coming, they told me no and left. I called Steve, and he claimed they said, that I was going to paint the bathroom. I told Steve that his guys don't want to do the job. Steve showed up, and he said, there was a miscommunication, and they painted. The guy that speaks English, said, "it was so difficult." They left and I wanted it to dry so I could see if it looked okay. It dried, and it does not look the best. I have high expectations, but the baseboard, corners, and celling areas have many bleeds. Communication is not very good. Initially, it was okay, but it was never great. I always had to chase Steve down or assume. Steve assumes everyone has his knowledge and experience. How would I know that you inject wallpaper with glue, first. Unless he tells me. Furthermore, he always says his guys will arrive at 8:00 am, but it's closer to 9:00 am. Steve never came to see how the paint job turned out. Instead, Less than a week later I get an email: "How did it turn out? If you can pay the wallpaper balance as well as $ For the Bathroom Faux Painting. Thank you!" Then when I said, I was not happy with the paint job, and that the bubbles were still there, I get a email diatribe from Steve. Suddenly, endless rationale, and why didn't I let him know and they can fix it. Steve completely ignores me saying, I don't want them back. So, because I don't desire them back, because the 2nd visit was very unpleasant, and they didn't want to be here doing the job. Somehow Steve thinks I should pay-in-full, even if they don't ever address or fix my concerns, because he offered. Ton's of communication when it's about paying. In fact, I was initially happy with the wallpaper, and paid half after they were here without even being asked. Lastly, there was no written estimate on the bathroom paint job. And, when Steve was here, he stated, "I just want to be sure his guys are paid for the day." And, he threw out a number. Suddenly, in his email, surprise, he requests a higher dollar amount. Beware, be sure there is a written estimate from this company for anything they do for you, or they will throw out any number they choose. Likely trying to recoup money, because he failed to charge enough for his original estimate for the powder room wallpaper, because they had to move the vanity. They will also, threaten you: "If I don't receive my Payment in full for the bathroom by tomorrow September -- 2022. I will not only file a lawsuit to recoup my balance and fees I Incur. But I will also have my attorney file a mechanics lien on your property." Keep your life stress free, and hire somebody else that truly wants to do the work, clearly communicates, and that actually checks out the work being done. read more

Steve has done a great job for me on a multiple of projects. Originally, he did some contract work in my condo that came out great - painting and drywall work. He also did some independent painting for me at a super competitive price. He stayed late on a weeknight in order to get the job done in time for my tenant moving in the next day and even cleaned up after himself with a mop. He's also done some handyman work for me and installed some wallmount speakers in my new apartment. He didn't even charge me for parking (which is expensive in my 'hood,) though I said he could bill me for it the charges. Steve has been professional and reliable and he took his shoes off without me asking in my new apt! Steve did a great job and I'll be calling again for my next project! read more

Did a good job. No surprises. No issues. Communicates well even on weekends. Would use again.

We recently had Painting Express paint our newly renovated first floor and stairs, trim, and hallway of our second and third floor. Their work and price were excellent compared to other painters we have worked with. Steve communicates very well and his painters were professional, quiet, polite, and very quick! We had A LOT of wood trim on our stairs that needed to be painted with quite a bit of detail and the painters were efficient and did an excellent job. It was a pleasure working with Painting Express and my husband and I would definitely use them again in the future. read more

I can't really express how happy I am with Steve and Painting Express. From the start, the whole process was effortless. Steve was more than helpful with questions and had some suggestions that I would have never thought of. I constantly get compliments from guests. Bottom line, I would highly recommend Painting Express to anyone. Have already referred friends and family and have heard the same results. read more

Amazing service and great work. We started them on one project to paint part of the front of the house. The work was so good that we expanded for some interior work and staining our entire deck. Very responsible, reasonably priced and easy to work with. We would use again. read more

I was looking for someone to wallpaper the insides of the drawers of a wood dresser I had bought. I had no idea about how to go about this task, and really loved the look of the dresser but the drawers were unfinished and rough and I was afraid my clothes would snag. This is a very odd job to find anyone to do and I made multiple phone calls before coming upon Steve's website. Steve was very friendly, from the first call. He said he could do the job for me, and could bring all the supplies as well. After I sent him pictures of the dresser he told me that he could using polyurethane (I think) to cover them and still preserve the beautiful look of the wood. Steve was very professional, as was his co-worker; he responded quickly and often to my multiple e-mails and gave me a very reasonable price. He was also very friendly in person, and punctual. My dresser drawers already look beautiful. I would definitely recommend Painting Express to others, and use them in the future if needed. read more

I called Steve at Painting Express the Tuesday after Christmas, right before New Year's, and asked if it would be possible to paint my bathroom by the end of the week. I needed it done since I work full time and would be back at work the following week. Steve said he could get it done over the weekend. It turns out he was able to have the bathroom painted and completely finished by Friday evening and it looks great. It's the first time we've had a room professionally painted and I am very happy with the work. They were fast, reasonably priced and their work is excellent; what more could you ask for. read more

Very responsive and professional! Great job! Will definitely recommend and will use on the next project!

I recently had my condo in Chicago painted by Painting Express . . . they did a great job! There was a lot of "prep work" that needed to be done (holes and cracks filled in, spackling, etc.) before they painted, and I was very impressed with how thorough, detail-oriented and careful they were. Steve was very accommodating to my challenging schedule and his painters put in a very full day, non-stop, and were very professional. The place just sparkles! I will definitely be calling them again! read more
