Description of Work: They painted the whole interior of my house - 4 beds, 2 baths, living room, hallway and kitchen (walls only). Tom responded very quickly to my request for a quote on Angie's list, and worked with me to provide a quote based on my measurements and pictures, since I had not closed on the house yet. He we very helpful and quick to respond throughout the whole process and checked in with me to make sure I knew how things were going. We had a small snafoo because the yellow paint I chose did not cover well with the 2 coats we planned for, but Tom let me know about it right away and made sure that I was able to see what it looked like before buying more paint. They finished up on time, even adding the extra coat, so I was able to move my furniture in on schedule. He was a little pricier than other quotes I received, but the service was excellent. The paint looks great - all the edges are very clean and neat, extremely professional.

Funny, I feel like the kid in school that had always gotten straight “A’s” his entire career and freaks out at getting his first ever “B” grade! I am glad you mentioned that you rarely hand out an “A”. I think you have other possible painting work down the line. If given the opportunity, we will see what we could do to earn a “A” from you. It was a pleasure to work with you and your wife. I appreciate your business. Cheers!

Description of Work: Thomas re-plastered and carefully painted a number of walls & ceiling areas needing repair following a recent electrical renovation project in our historic1923 Georgian Colonial home. His workmanship was superb. His meticulous approach & attention to detail were an important part of the high quality of his work. Thomas graciously accommodated my tight schedule and successfully worked within the narrow window of time to bring the whole project to completion. I highly recommend Thomas to all potential customers looking for old world craftsmanship & professional restoration work for historic properties.

Thomas is a great painter. This time he brought in a second pair of hands to get the job done quicker (Eric) and he is an outstanding painter as well. They do an excellent job protecting the floors, trim, etc when they work and well this is the second time I've had them back and that alone should speak highly of his work. I am planning to have him back in summer-time to stain my deck. You won't go wrong using Thomas Lulinski for your painting needs.
Description of Work: Had Thomas back a second time on my new house to paint some more rooms, after his initial job on the living room and master bedroom it made the other rooms look bad in comparison. He also did some minor trim work on the kitchen cabinets.

Great job, finished on time and on budget.
Description of Work: Thomas painted two large rooms (walls and ceilings) and re-textured a living room ceiling that had a hand swirl texture on it. He did a great job, he was very professional and fun to talk with. The painting job was great, nice straight lines and he hid a lot of the defects in the 35 year old walls. Now that 2 rooms have been painted the rest of the rooms look bad, I have already agreed to have Tom paint 4 more room this month. As a first time homeowner who just closed on a new house I am nervous about bringing in any contractor, but after this work Tom is now our house's official painter...

We have nothing but accolades for this company. Tom showed up when he said he would and we walked through the scope of the project which essentially required a complete repair and painting of the interior walls and ceiling of our home. Tom provided practical suggestions (which we ended up following) and provided us with a timely estimate just as he said he would. The improvements to the appearance of our home was spectacular which is no surprise considering their painstaking prep work and attention to detail. Tom was a great communicator throughout the project and was always professional and punctual. We liked his work so much that we ended up using Lulinski Home Finishing to paint the exterior of our home and were just as pleased. Tom also did some carpentry work which was also of the highest quality. We wouldn't hesitate to use Lulinski Home Finishing again for any remodeling/painting needs. A great experience and a great price for the quality of the work.

Tom is fairly priced, punctual, courteous and above all professional. Do not hesitate when considering his services. He's very versatile, creative and client accommodating. You will get a first rate experience and will have no hesitation in hiring him again. He's also a great guy, despite the fact that he's a White Sox fan ;)
Description of Work: I have hired Tom twice for a variety of services including interior doors, cabinets, a daycare platform, slide & rock wall (which he also designed) and interior painting.

Tom was responsive from day one. He quickly came out for an estimate and was right on time. His quote was very reasonable. He scheduled the work for the very next week, and came right on time when scheduled. He knocked out the project in just a couple of hours. I couldn't be happier with his work-product or his professionalism. He was a pleasure to do business with and I will call him again for future projects.
Description of Work: Tom did a fantastic repair job on a couple of walls I had butchered in a DIY attempt. He repaired a bunch of large holes I had put in drywall, plastered where I had not, and fixed places I had tried to plaster but did I terrible job on. Results were fantastic.

I actually found Tom here on Angie's list and chose him because he could do a variety of interior and exterior projects. I didn't want to have to deal with too many different people. I found it more efficient this way. He basically does the work himself, but did bring on others for some parts of the exterior painting. Exterior painting - did a great job. I don't like ladders so that's why I paid someone to paint this. Also, as it is an old house with wood siding I needed this well sealed from the elements. I think he went through 30 tubes of caulk and repaired the areas where the wood was rotting. Also he brought three different colors of paints that we chose and painted a small portion of the house so we could see which color would work best. You can never tell from the samples. I think the detail was excellent. Was he cheap - no not really but he was competitive. I had some other quotes higher and lower. But for the money it was well worth it. Interior Paining - I had him paint our family room. I painted the bedrooms myself, but the family room walls were in bad shape. This was part of an addition put on in the early 70's and the fit and finish on the trim and walls were terrible. Plus there was water damage on the ceiling due to ice dams and there were 7 round 4-inch diajeter holes put in the ceiling by an electrician. So I needed someone to make this look good. Looks real nice. The trim and doors - Again, in the newer part of the house nothing but cheap trim. I had him install oak trim to match the rest of the house. Tom did a wonderful job matching the stain that was around the window trim (which was put in last year by Pella). He did the staining and varnishing himself on these. The install job was well done. My walls are not particularly square, but he can bearly tell with the trim. I read this over and see that it is pretty much all positive. There were a few minor issues but these were addressed (such as my wife thinking that the bedroom door let in too much light from the hallway). And when you spend good money you expect a good job. But the bottom line is I got a great job done from someone who is easy to communicate with. One reason you pay for contractors is for their experience. I thought he gave very good advice. It was an overall positive experience. I would hire Tom again and probably will. (The closet shelfing was not part of the original scope, but I added that on at the very end. We are taking about redoing my fireplace mantel if it falls within my budget.) Note, this work was performed over a few month period so the service date is approximate date he finished the major portions of the work - he came back to finish things up after I had some other work done.
Description of Work: Tom Lulinski painted the exterior of my house (completely), put trim (baseboards and crown molding) in two of my bedrooms, my family room, and part of my kitchen, installed three new interior doors (plus two sets of closet doors), painted my family room, built and installed closet shelving in the closets, and did a number of miscellaneius tasks (such as installing exterior venting from the bathrooms).

It went great. Tom helped us brainstorm ideas for the work we were to do. He helped pick up large items that we ordered from the store. He worked quickly. Very nice to work with. He cleaned up well afterwards. Always on time and available by phone. It was our first experience working with a contractor and he was great. He also pointed out that it would have been impossible and/or very costly to knock down a particular wall we wanted to clear out.
Description of Work: Tom put in new ceramic tile floors in our kitchen and bathroom. He put in a new vanity and countertop in our bathroom. He removed a hideous piece of installed furniture in order to open up the place and stained the wood floor underneath it to match the rest of the floor. He painted the kitchen and bathroom.

I can t say enough good things about this contractor! Everything he did was really well done, he went the extra mile to make sure it was all exactly as I wanted it. He was flexible and very easy and enjoyable to work with, on-time and quick to respond to questions, and very competent. The project was kept within the budget, both for the work he did directly and that done by the subcontractors. (Who were also prompt and competent). I am thrilled with the result.
Description of Work: This major kitchen project included a complete tear out of 1950 s era cabinets and sink, as well as taking out a load-bearing wall to open up the kitchen to a new dining area. This required a new header over the opening, which was drywalled and painted. A former coat closet in the dining area was re-worked with a larger new door and custom-built shelves. The kitchen was completely re-done, cabinets, sink, counter tops, electrical wiring and fixtures, and floor. Wall and ceiling drywall was repaired. Both kitchen and dining area walls and trim were re-painted, as well as the adjoining hallway, which wasn t even part of the original quote.
