We have been slowly giving our 100+ year-old home a facelift for the past 3 years, and I could not…read morehave done it without Linda at JC Licht in Northbrook. She was the biggest help to me when it came to picking out wallpaper and paint colors. She has been so patient throughout the entire process, and her knowledge when it comes to paint colors and wallpaper is off the charts! She would have me send pictures of the room, and even just from a photo would be able to tell me what would work. Sure enough her instincts were spot on every time...I'd bring home what she suggested to see in the room and she was always right! She takes all factors into account, and makes sure that she has a very good grasp on what is going on in a room (furniture, decor, light, adjacent rooms, etc) before suggesting colors. The process of picking out wallpaper proved to be harder than anticipated, as many of my selections were either discontinued or the minimums were way beyond what I needed for bathrooms and a mudroom. Linda always had back-up suggestions for me of similar papers that would work with price points that were always within my budget. She also helped us pick out our window treatments for a few rooms, and once again really knew how to tie it all together. If you need guidance when it comes to paint colors, wallpaper and window treatments you MUST go see Linda. Her help was invaluable to me and to the many others who I have referred to her. I have to also mention that everyone else who works at this JC LIcht is equally as kind, helpful and accommodating.

Always had great service here and rarely is it very busy. I'm not sure if they are commission or…read morehourly but if they are commission I apologize for not sticking with one associate l. The paint quality is better than any other paint I've used in recent memory. The prices are high for the premium options but I'd rather spend more for something that will last rather than spend less and repaint more often. Of course they also have a lot of the paint accessories you'll need as well to get the job done. I've never been disappointed in the service and quality here and would definitely recommend them. Note: The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is because the prices aren't the lowest you will find and sometimes the premium options are out of stock (but to be fair who hasn't run into supply issues all over today no matter where you go?)
