McMaster Painting recently painted the interior of my condo including the ceilings, trim, and doors. Their work was excellent! Since my condo had not been painted for 12 years, there was a lot of prep work; Dings had to be patched; 12 years of hair spray build up had to be removed from a door and other items that come from living in a place for 12 years. The crew had a great work ethic and were very professional. They showed up on time each day and cleaned up before they left each evening. They understood that I was living in the condo during the process and made sure the place was livable during the painting process. I am thrilled with the results! I would hire them again without hesitation.

Better that I could have imagined. They were professional on the phone to schedule and squeezed us in before we had a big party at our house. They showed up in time for estimates and the work. They left everything very clean outside. Our fences look like new. They were so good that two of our neighbors hired them to do their wrought iron fences! There's no better recommendation or review than that!!

it took two days. two coats of paint.They were excellent. We picked out the paint before hand.
Description of Work: Patch holes and cracks in two bedrooms. Both bedrooms were painted (walls and ceilings). Also painted our front door. This was the second time we hired them. Several years ago they did much larger job (inside and out). Both we and our neighbor rate them as excellent and would hire again.

I contacted them about three months before I wanted to get the work done. I was looking to have the entire first floor painted and to have an exterior wall furred out in order to hide some plumbing and electrical. As with most of the other companies that I called, they were not able to build the new wall. The one company who said they could build the new wall was so unresponsive when I asked questions or wanted the scope revised. I ended up building the wall myself (just putting up studs and drywall). I waited until January to have the painting done and decided to call McMaster back because they were by far the most responsive and professional of all the companies I called for estimates. They were able to come within a week and finished the work within their estimated time. They sent as many workers over as they could in order to finish on time (there was a lot of prep work and patching to do). The workers were all very nice and the quality was fantastic. I will definitely call them back when I need to have the upstairs painted. It makes the paint job I had done 8 years ago on my last house look like it was done by finger painting toddlers. These guys know what they are doing. I was a bit iffy on price because it was on the high end of my estimates, but I had a hunch they'd do a good job. So worth it. Excellent work and so responsive.
Description of Work: Patch and paint first floor walls and ceiling. One wall was taped and finished before painting.

It was great; they were responsive and professional. They made some good recommendations about how and when to do the stain, and also made other recommendations about repeating our service. I would definitely use them again.

They showed up on time and it was the same crew most days which was nice. Jack was the lead guy and always communicated with me about their progress. They were careful of my newly refinished hardwood floors and cleaned up after themselves every day. The paint job totally transformed the look of the place from outdated and drab to fresh and clean. When they were on the scaffold, they helped me clean my ceiling fan which I would never would be able to access myself because it's so high.
Description of Work: McMaster Painting did a wonderful job painting the interior of our condo unit including entrance way, dining area, living area, part of the kitchen, hallway, 2 bathrooms, 1 bedroom, plus part of the upper 2nd floor area including staircase and area with high vaulted ceilings for which they had to build a scaffold. Plus all the trim work throughout: baseboards, windows, and about 13 doors.

McMaster did an excellent job. Some of the work was rather difficult and a lift was needed on our second home to reach some of the higher sections of our home but they were able to do a great job within their estimated timeframe at a reasonable price. They took exceptional care of operating the lifts within a gated community to accomplish the work needed. On my primary residence, we used multiple colors and shades where patterns were required and the results were excellent.
Description of Work: have used McMaster on numerous occasions on multiple properties in both Chicago and Northwest Indiana. Have used them on both exterior and interior painting projects on our primary residence and second home since 2003. Last project we had them do was through their DeckMaster division and they stained our exterior decks.

I called Kevin at McMaster Painting to get an estimate on an interior/exterior painting job that we are looking to do in the Spring. The job involves painting windows on our home both interior and exterior as well as replacing some broken panes and reglazing the windows. From the start Kevin demonstrated indepth knowledge and agreed to assess the project and provide advice on how best to approach the project (vs. just an estimate). Some paint contractors would offer to do all the work whereas Kevin suggested the best approach would be to have a window repair company that specializes in putty glazing do that portion of the work and then have a painter do the finish work. Kevin also advised me that since our home is more than 80 years old the windows might test positive for traces of lead - Kevin did the test for free as part of his assessment. I am thoroughly impressed by the professionalism Kevin displayed - I wish there were more contractors like him!

I asked McMaster to paint my brand new 900 sq ft apartment within 3 days of the bid. In addition the previous owner had left fairly serious wall and ceiling problems that needed to be corrected during the prep process. Not only did Kevin and his team make my insane deadline, but also made sure that the apartment was painted using environmentally safe products (i.e. no lasting fumes/smells) and also updated the crown molding. In terms of price, McMaster was the best by far of all of the bids I sought (4) -- great quality for a great price. I would definitely use them again.

Everything Kevin did was outstanding...he made sure there was no mess in our kitchen by putting up plastic as well as covering the floor, even outside of the kitchen...he carefully scraped wallpaper off as to not damage the wall...he scrubbed the wall and removed all glue...and he cleaned up spotless - excellent work!
Description of Work: Kevin (the business owner) was outstanding and we couldn't be happier with his work (wallpaper removal and drywall preparation) as well as with his professional demeanor throughout the job from start to cleanup. We would definitely contract him again, and would recommend him highly - you won't be disappointed, and you'll be hiring a top notch person!

The experience was exceptional and the results were phenomenal. My house looks fantastic! My in-laws (who tend to be very critical) said it was the best paint job they've ever seen. Kevin was great -- he promptly came for the estimate and sent me an itemized list for each and every room per my request. Then, he worked with me to get the job done on the exact dates I needed. I have used McMaster before, and I will definitely use them again. Highly recommended.
