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
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.,

The estimate was actually one of the lowest we priced
out, and yet the installation was very quick, efficient, and much better than
what other companies were offering. (They modified the blinds brackets to allow
installation below and within the trim, so that the effect was a lower
and nicer profile; no other companies thought to do this.) Also, we've had a
few minor mishaps with cords (some our fault, some not), and they have come out
every time and fixed the problem gratis, because they seem to be very
interested in maintaining an excellent reputation for customer service.
This is probably the best experience we've ever had w/ any company. Would
highly recommend them¡±
