Proud to Serve Glenview and the Surrounding North Shore
Hi, I'm Pete Wirtz, President of Pete the Painter. I've been painting homes on the North Shore for 57 years. We know these neighborhoods. The architecture, the climate, the expectations of homeowners who take real pride in their properties. From a single room refresh to a full exterior transformation, our team brings the same care and workmanship to every Glenview home we touch.
Our house painters in Glenview, IL work across the entire North Shore corridor. Northbrook, Wilmette, Winnetka, and beyond. Wherever you are, you deserve painters who show up prepared, communicate clearly, and leave your home looking the way you want it to look.
Interior and Exterior Painting, Done the Right Way
As experienced interior painters, we know the inside of your home deserves just as much attention as the curb appeal. Prep work is the key. Filling nail holes, sanding surfaces, applying the right primer. That's what separates a paint job that lasts from one that starts peeling after the first winter. A cheaper painter skips that step. You see it within a year.
Every job starts with a walk-through. I personally inspect the surfaces. I look at the moisture, the wear, the trouble spots. I tell the homeowner what needs prep, what needs primer, and what we're going to do about it. Then we get to work.
I'm also looking at the surrounding environment. A kitchen or a bathroom is a different situation than a living room or a bedroom. High moisture, heavy use, surfaces that take a beating. Each one gets treated accordingly. Our interior painting services in Glenview, IL cover everything from living rooms and kitchens to ceilings, trim, and cabinetry, always with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
On the outside, our exterior painters handle wood siding, brick, stucco, shutters. You name it. Sun, wind, and Chicago-area winters are hard on paint. One of the most common problems we see on North Shore exteriors is moisture. Lake effect weather is relentless, and if you're not properly controlling how moisture affects the painting surface, you won't have a lasting finish. Period. We choose materials and application methods specifically built to hold up against those conditions. If you want a second opinion on what your home's exterior actually needs, we're happy to walk through it with you before anything gets started.
I've used Sherwin-Williams for years. Their team helps me match the right product to the right surface, every time. That consistency matters.
If you want me to come out and take a look at your home, give us a call. I'll do the walk-through myself and tell you straight what it needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle homes outside of Glenview?
Yes. We work the entire North Shore corridor: Northbrook, Wilmette, Winnetka, and beyond. If you're in the area, give us a call and we'll come take a look.
Why does paint on my exterior keep peeling after a year or two?
The reason this occurs is almost always moisture, or skipped prep work. Lake effect weather on the North Shore is relentless, and if the surface isn't properly prepped and primed, the paint won't adhere. A cheaper painter skips that step. You see it within a year.
What does your walk-through actually involve?
I personally inspect the surfaces before any work starts. I look at the moisture, the wear, the trouble spots, and I tell you exactly what needs prep, what needs primer, and what we're going to do about it. Then we get to work.
Why do you use Sherwin-Williams paint?
I've used Sherwin-Williams for years. Their team helps me match the right product to the right surface, every time. That consistency matters when you want a finish that's going to last.
Do you treat kitchens and bathrooms differently than other rooms?
Absolutely. High moisture, heavy use, surfaces that take a beating, each one gets treated accordingly. The product and prep for a bathroom isn't the same as what belongs in a bedroom.
I've been burned by a painter before. How is Pete the Painter different?
We get it. We tell you upfront what needs doing, then we do it, on time, on budget, from the first brushstroke to the final coat. 57 years on the North Shore, and the reputation speaks for itself.
Will you disrupt my daily routine while painting the interior?
We keep things neat, stick to the schedule, and stay out of your way. We treat your home like it's our own property, so when we leave each day, you can still live in it.
