About us

Services provided Drake provides both residential and commercial services. We decorate many of Chicago’s high end neighborhoods but no job is too small. We also provide services to many commercial customers completing interiors and exteriors for McDonald’s, Burger King’s, Enterprise car rentals, hotels, restaurants, Doctors offices, Country Clubs, Associations, and Dentist offices, to name only a few. Interior Drake carries out all manner of drywall and plaster repair. We strip wallpaper, remove paneling, remove unwanted woodwork and perform full preparation to all surfaces prior to painting or paper hanging. We help with color selections and will paint sample boards for our customers. We do a wide range of faux finishes and have display boards to help with selection. We hang all manner of wall coverings and all fifty-four inch vinyl goods. We also install decorative trim such as crown moldings, chair rails, casings, frame moldings, and baseboards. We paint all surfaces including walls, ceilings, woodwork, metal work and floorings. Our capabilities include spray painting kitchen and bathroom cabinets for a fresh new look without you having to replace them. Exterior Full preparation is a must for a quality exterior job. Washing is important for a clean surface but does not replace the hard work of scraping and sanding. We paint and stain all wood exteriors as well as priming and painting of vinyl and metal surfaces. We have also carried out a variety of jobs such as painting hopscotch and four square courts for schools and painting signs for businesses. We have no issue with two or three story homes and buildings. We clean and refurbish decking and will stain and seal your deck to make it look like new.

Description of Work: Went well - but the 2 painters painted ONLY one 10x10 room with small closet in 4 hours (8 man hours). I felt for 2 professional painters, this is too much time - we spent too much. | |

Description of Work: We have a custom build large cedar gazebo that needed the final steps: stained and sealed and steep roof washed and sealed (only after a year before, the gazebo was hand scraped and washed). Also included were the staining and sealing of multiple custom screen frames. |Individual specialists came and worked on the multiple steps. All craftsmen were professional and had a well versed knowledge of their respective tasks. |End result: we are very, very pleased with our beautiful gazebo - and enjoying in these summer nights.

Description of Work: I purchased the special 2-painter flat rate package and was quite pleased. The owner was very responsive to questions and calls prior to scheduling, and the painters arrived on time. During the time allotted, they were able to paint 2 coats of paint (2 different colors) in a very large bedroom with cathedral ceilings and wood trim, as well as prime spots and paint my kitchen ceiling. I had hoped to have more done during that time, but some time-consuming repair work was needed on the bedroom walls, which I had not been aware of before booking the deal. The painter offered to do the work without the repairs if I preferred, but highly recommended them and showed me exactly where the repairs needed to be done and why. I believe his assessment was entirely honest, so I chose to have the repairs completed, even though that meant they would not be able to do as many areas as I was originally hoping for during the allotted time. The end result was professional work at a very good value. I am very satisfied and would use Drake Painting again.

Does Not Apply
Description of Work: The wallpaper removal that I contracted for was not completed due to a scheduling conflict. This provider requires at least 7 days lead time. It is imperative that sufficient lead time be granted and both parties effectively communicate either verbally or in writing the goals and expectations needed to achieve mutual satisfaction

Description of Work: Stripped wallpaper from living room, dining room, and stairway to upstairs and painted all,including den. Removing wallpaper from living room especially difficult as painted on wallpaper over plaster had to be chipped off. All surfaces had to be skim coated and sanded before painting. Two or three coats of paint. They were here for about 2 and one half weeks. Once started they continued straight through; none of this starting and going to other jobs. Inevitable drips here and there, but nothing out of the ordinary based on scope of job. Sam and Sergio promptly fixed anything pointed out to them. One week after completion of job some paint started peeling from living room ceiling. Sam returned to repair, no questions asked. Still holding! Estimate was comparable to others received.

Description of Work: We got a quote to remove wallpaper and paint. We have only had them remove the wallpaper thus far but we will have them paint when we are done remodeling. They did everything we asked them to do and were very flexible with my schedule. Would recommend them again.

See above.
Description of Work: I had reviewed Angie's List to identify a qualified company to paint the interior of my 2500 sq. ft. townhouse. Drake provided the most reasonable quote with exceptional service. Their flexibility was outstanding as I asked them to split the job in thirds: first floor, second floor, walk out basement over the period of a month. This allowed me to move all my books, knick knacks, paintings to the other floor and set up "house" for the 2-3 days required for them to move all the furniture; cover everything; patch; paint walls and trim; move everything back in place to my satisfaction. Big job!!! Each evening, the work area was tidied up and their materials left in closed bins on my porch - all very professional. Work was completed on time and on budget/ quote. I have already recommended Drake and my particular painters to my neighbors. Very pleased with 1) Angie's List, 2) Drake Painting and Wallpapering. Kudos!
