Excellent! We plan on having them back to do 4 more rooms!
Description of Work: Alexi and Lorenzo were great. On Time. Painted and repaired my basement stairwell that had been left in terrible shape from a plumbing problem. Also painted 2 closets and our pantry. Asked them to paint and repair small patch on kitchen ceiling, they patched it and then painted the whole ceiling at no extra charge!

They were great. I bought it for my daughter. We had trouble connecting with them. When we got connected with them in June, they initially didn't want to honor the certificate because it expired. After some negotiation, they did. They did a great job and it turned out good. Once they honored the certificate, they were terrific.

I received a fairly prompt message from Mr. Ayala after purchasing the deal and gladly worked out an appointment that corresponded with a date and time when one of his company's employees would be in the area. The worker arrived exactly on time. Our deal was for 3 hours and the time spent exceeded that allotment. As the worker departed, I mentioned that I'd reach out to Mr. Ayala to schedule a return date and a price for the additional work. No request for payment was made. Approximately an hour later, I sent Mr. Ayala an e-mail inquiring about when his worker could return to sand and apply a skim coat. I also mentioned that my wife was a little miffed about the wet drywall compound we found on my son's couch and carpeting. The following morning, I received a scathing message from Mr. Ayala acknowledging that his employee had left without fully cleaning up since our 3 hours had elapsed. I was also chastised for asking the worker to pick up a 4' x 4' piece of drywall at a local Ace. While the company's deal specifies that drywall isn't included, I had no idea whether a sheet would be required or, for that matter, the thickness to obtain. For the record, I paid for the drywall before the worker drove the 1-1/2 blocks to the Ace. Mr. Ayala message advised of his unwillingness to send the worker back to finish the job. In response, I asked for the company's address so I could mail a check for the additional 20-minutes expended on our project. As for the quality of the work, it's little tough to assess since the project isn't complete. I will confess, however, that I'm a little concerned that even after sanding and application of a skim coat, I'll still be able to discern the area that was repaired. In conclusion, I would suggest that folks steer clear of Chicago Painting Specialists - - or at least the company's 3-hour deal. I suspect the modest price assessed may influence professionalism.

Went well. I noticed the wood was changing colors about 3 months later and Alexie came out immediately to discuss with me the possibilities on why it would change. We never had this issue prior to him staining so I'm still not clear on why this happened but maybe another professional can way in on their opinion. Alexie feels this is dirt from the roof falling down. Otherwise, he addressed immediately which is why I hired him for our interior painting job recently. As for his comments he has trouble accepting and acknowledging his staffs poor performance and fails at standing behind the quality of his job and lacks professionalism. I've attached pictures of stain job and interior painting. Again, I gave him the benefit of the doubt when I hired him again as there are plenty of other painters in my area and unfortunately I paid the price. I've also attached pictures from my review for 2/16/17 of interior painting as I was not given this option on the mobile app for my previous review.

They were an excellent company to work with! I had 2 prior estimates for the ceiling that I really wasn't happy with. They included a lot of complaints about how miserable a job it is, or suggested work a rounds for removal. Alexi seemed the most competent and gave a fair bid. He noted that the ceiling was textured plaster, not sprayed texture and should be hand sanded and re-plastered. I'm so glad I went with him and his team. They arrived on time, worked quickly and were surprisingly clean. They It was a tough gritty job, but the smooth plaster ceiling is lush and beautiful. So much nicer than drywall. They also moved some electrical, repaired drywall on one wall, and painted 2 rooms and a hall. Everything looks great.

Alexie was very quick when we reached out. He came over and gave us a very honest quote for the work. He was able to squeeze us into his busy schedule and did fantastic work for us. He went above and beyond what was needed and the rooms that he painted are absolutely flawless. I would recommend him again without question and want him to fix everything in our apartment!
Description of Work: We were left high and dry by another painter. We were about to move into a new apartment and the paint job was horrible, so we needed it fixed ASAP before we moved in our belongings. We were only able to get two rooms at the time, but will be expanding out our work with him.

Very impressed by their painting job. I received an estimate the day I called and the job was completed the following week. They painted the main living areas and stairwells in a 4 story townhouse. They were on time, professional, and kept a clean work area. They also helped with paint recommendations. Would definitely hire them again.
