Painters Serving Highwood, IL Since 1969

Highwood is tight lots, older frame houses, restaurants, and a downtown that keeps changing. We paint homes here, and we paint the storefronts and dining rooms that cannot close for a week, which means we work nights when we need to.

A lot of Highwood homes are older frame construction with layers of paint. We scrape, sand, and prime properly, and we handle lead-safe work as a certified firm. For the restaurants and shops we schedule around your hours and leave the place ready to open in the morning.

What We Paint in Highwood

  • Interior painting: walls, trim, ceilings, and cabinetry, with the prep that makes the finish last.
  • Exterior painting: siding, soffits, fascia, brick, and stucco that can take the North Shore weather.
  • Deck and fence staining: stripped, cleaned, and sealed so it holds up season after season.
  • Front door and garage door refinishing: brought back to life, grain and all.
  • Commercial painting: offices, storefronts, schools, park district buildings, and multi-unit properties.
  • Color guidance: honest advice, plus our free paint color visualizer to try colors on your own photo.
