Neighbors¡¯ Recommendations:

Painter:

Marcin. <Tel: (630)965-6553>  ¡°His prices are extremely reasonable. We got whole house painted for under $3000 plus paint. Paint cost around $500. He gets Benjamore Moore paint for cheap prices...40% off list and same prices as Behr. He has painted 3 houses in our neighborhood already. He is hardworking, and reliable. I have worked with him in my previous house too. He cleans up behind himself and does a neat, careful job.¡± (Recommended by Roy, 4 Glacier)

Ray Page  <Tel: (847) 401-4777>  ¡°We just had our whole house painted by Ray Page and his crew did a very nice job.  We worked out a really good ¡°cash¡± price with them. I think they are slow now with the housing market being in such a slump and will take any job, big or small.  He works for Toll at times, but we found him to be 50% cheaper than any other estimate we got.  He also gets a discount on paint.  We used Benjamin Moore paint and gallons were running about 44 dollars and he gets a discount at Epco and we got each gallon for 28.  A huge savings for us as we used 36 gallons of paint.¡± (by Laura C., 10 Glacier Circle)
