I've used OP Painters twice now, and will definitely use them again. First of all, they were able to quickly give me an appointment. They consulted with me for colors and the estimate time was speedy. We are really enjoying the new look our upper bedroom. I also feel Eric went above and beyond: he scraped old poster gum off the walls of our basement, caulked some loose wood, and moved furniture. The price asked was very reasonable for the amount of work they did. The basement is now ready for my younger daughter to stay in. Eric was a great communicator and always got back to me quickly if I had any questions. He and his colleague who was here are both honest and hard workers. I felt very comfortable having them in my home. It's no wonder the business is now 17 years old, and has multiple crews that work all over Chicagoland. read more

Great attention to detail and easy to work with. Very knowledgable and reliable, and takes pride and ownership over their work. I'll be using them again for future jobs! read more

Eric and his OP Painter's crew recently completed a full-exterior painting job on our 123 year old home, and we are ecstatic with the result. I am admittedly, a difficult client to please - I do my own research on the best products and practices to make sure I am getting things done right. Often my paying attention to the fine details is a turn off to contractors - who just want to do what they've always done, get paid, and leave. We decided to hire Eric because of his energy & enthusiasm about getting our job done right. He was receptive to researching various products and arriving at the conclusions together with me. He would call his product reps to gain insight on the primer/top-coat systems that would give the best results for various substrates - such as porch floors and aluminum clad windows. I loved that fact that we were a team with a common goal. Eric's pricing is clear and transparent, and I was especially fond of the fact that materials are billed out separately directly from receipts. This ensures that you are always getting the products you pay for, as they have no incentive to purchase inferior products to pad their profit margin. The crew is full of very skilled painters who work hard. They arrive on time, and were always friendly and respectful of our space. Our Victorian home is full of intricate moldings and is 3 stories tall - and all their lines are crisp. There are many established painters who work primarily in the Oak Park area. We took a shot on Eric, and do not regret our decision for a second. What sets him apart from everyone else is that he truly, deeply cares about the job he does for you. Never once in the time they were at our house did I ever question his dedication or his passion. OP Painters has a very bright future. You will be glad that you hired them. read more

Where to start...leaving aside the fact that our meeting was apparently blown off and we had to contact Eric to remind him of an appointment made, leaving aside the fact that he showed completely unprepared to do the estimate, leaving aside incredibly poor mask etiquette, I was shocked by the experience we had meeting and considering working with Oak Park Painters. I understand that often people will give out higher estimates to then appear generous when they lower it, but the estimate Eric gave us after viewing our home was incredibly high and not consistent with per room prices he had given in previous calls. Being a savvy consumer I asked for itemization of the estimate to try and figure out if I could cut back in certain areas to stay within my budget and Eric claimed "he doesn't do that, the price is all in." I stated that the price seemed higher than expected (I of course had done some research ahead of time, and was met with the response "oh Oak Park prices are high, you'll see." I told him we would consider his estimate and do our due diligence in seeing other quotes. This led to him dropping the price 40% within 24 hours. This to me seems like someone who charges a premium for clients that he thinks he can take advantage of. We ended up not working with Oak Park Painters, since this experience made him very hard to trust. The estimate we got from another credible painter in the area, ended up being even less than Eric's "discounted" price and was done within one day, whereas Eric said the paint job would have taken 5 to 6 days for his team. I would advise anyone getting an estimate from Eric to definitely compare to others in order to ensure they are being treated fairly. read more

Called Oak Park Painters after waiting over a year to get our house painted by College Painters and then not getting responses from a number of other painting companies. Eric was enthusiastic about taking the job and gave us a detailed explanation of how they would deal with the peeling paint on our old house. He also gave us excellent advice on colors and the house looks great. He managed to get the work done in just a few days before the cold weather and we couldn't be happier. A streamlined experience and I will work with them again. read more

Eric was easy to work with and his crew worked fast. We hired him over a year ago and I'm just getting to this now but I figure it's better to be late than never. read more

Oak Park Painters did a great job working the exterior of our 1920s house. Eric was great to work with, always prompt and professional. His team was great too, arriving on time and finishing in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend! read more

Eric and his crew did a great job of painting my condo before I rented it. We discussed paint colors and what was currently "in" for the Oak Park area. The painters were efficient and quick, cleaned up after themselves and personable. Eric's pricing is reasonable for the quality of work that is performed. He was quick to respond to fix a scratch on my hardwood floor that was made when the stove was moved away from the wall. He is very friendly and easy to work with. I feel you will not be disappointed. Update Jan 2017: Condo going up for sale, having Eric and crew do their paint magic. Unfortunately, tenant for one year smoked and the unit smells. Heavy duty steam cleaning done and entire place must be painted to get rid of odor. Eric did all trim and walls plus ceiling to freshen up the unit. He also opened the windows and brought in a few large fans to get outside air circulating into the unit ... above and beyond. My agent was very happy with the work performed. The crew not only did a great paint job, but cleaned up after themselves. He is reasonably priced, personable and truly cares about the work he does. read more

Eric did a fantastic job painting our home in Oak Park. His crew did both internal and external work and it came out beautifully. Ahead of the work, Eric also patiently walked us through a variety of options we had at different price points as we were going back and forth. I found his business to also be one of the best priced from the handful of quotes I got. His team was polite, professional, timely and kept to the schedule we agreed upon. And of course, the paint job came out great. No drips or visible imperfections, it was very well done. I definitely recommend Oak Park Painters and will be using again! read more

Very disappointed with the service provided by Oak Park Painters. We called Eric in January with hopes of having him paint our children's toy room in our new home. Our home is an older home and we were very concerned with lead paint exposure to our children and we read that Oak Park Painters was "federal lead paint certified". He assured us he could do the job. We also requested the quote to include a small bathroom. The first three days he sent an employee of his to prime the rooms. This gentleman left our house open and unlocked and would work for a couple of hours then take off for a couple of hours then come back. Eric shared with us his trouble with being a "young boss" and managing his employees. My husband gave very specific instructions as to keeping doors closed and vents taped off as we did not want any paint chips spread through our home as we have an infant. This was not a concern of theirs and we had to deep clean each day as we were so fearful of the possible lead paint exposure to our child from their negligence and indifference. While we were talking with Eric he mentioned that he lives near the Medical District of Chicago, not in Oak Park. I was a bit surprised as his business address is listed in Oak Park and I was very committed to supporting the local Oak Park community and hiring from small business owners within this community. He indicated that his "friend's mom let him use her address for his business" and he let me know how this address gives him a "Google pin" when people search for "oak park painters" and how much this has helped to generate business for him. He also has Michigan plates on his business vehicle which I found odd. The paint job was horrific. He never sanded or smoothed the walls down so it looks like a paint job my children could have completed. It was my understanding that he would "mud" the walls to smooth them over. He did not tape/cover anything before painting and paint is dripped and splattered all over onto various fixtures and the floor. The trim has paint all over it from the lack of taping. I requested the toy room walls to be painted four different colors and we provided the paint. Eric painted the walls all the wrong colors. I walked in during him just getting started and shared my concern with the walls not being painted the colors I requested. He said, "Well it's a little late". I was sad since I had purchased many fixtures, furniture, and decorations that went with walls that were supposed to be painted certain colors. He said he was finished and he provided me with a "final estimate" which was three times the initial quote. I attempted to pay him and he preferred that I wait until he get my house key back from the "other employee". He said he would return later that night. I called him a couple of hours later after inspecting his work and said that it was not to my satisfaction and I requested that he paint the walls in the toy room (the main goal of this project) the colors that I had requested. He said he was upset and told me to "talk to my husband" as if I was not able to have opinions of my own. He then called my husband several times and my husband told him we could talk to him the next day to figure out a plan to remediate the situation as my husband was busy working. Eric then cashed my initial deposit check and put my house key in my mailbox. We never heard from him again. So we paid for work that was awful and my husband had to repaint everything himself. I have notified the BBB. This was an expensive lesson learned for me. read more

We will definitely be hiring them for the rest of our rooms! read more

The crew at Oak Park painters was fantastic and the quality of their work was even better. We were blown away at the high level of prep work they did prior to actually painting. When we hit a few additional bumps in the project, the possible solutions were discussed quickly and effectively and the final results are incredible! We highly recommend Oak Park Painters! We are using them again soon! Eric is a star! Charming, professional and really good at what he does. The best part? Incredibly fair pricing. read more

We had Eric and his team paint nearly every room in our just-purchased house, and they did a wonderful job. They worked efficiently, the price was fair, and I was very impressed with Eric's communication, care, and expertise. He was ready with solutions to problems that weren't even related to the paint job, which was very helpful in a older home. We would definitely use Oak Park Painters again. read more

Fantastic Job!! They just do what you want and don't bother you. Only contact you when absolutely need to. Awesome!!

This company rocks. I called the owner, Eric, who answered the phone up on a ladder, and came out the next day and gave me a quote. His entire crew did a great job on my vintage condo that needed a lot of plastering and other work. Everyone on the crew (all 5) were unfailingly polite and respectful, often going the extra mile. There was no damage to my many antique furniture pieces, and I cannot recommend this company enough. I'm a very hard-to-please customer, and this company exceeded my expectations, and even finished several days before the expected timeline. read more

I hired OP Painters to complete a substantial interior painting project in my bungalow including significant amounts of ceiling repair/painting. Eric was especially responsive to my request for an estimate and respected my rather tight timeline to get the work done. Eric, a passionate small business owner, has a knack for making each client feel like a priority while being realistic about the scope of work and amount of time it would take to finish the project. Eric and his crew were prompt, kind, sociable and highly skilled. Even though they spent extra time on my dining room ceiling the project finished on time and my house looks brand new. Highly recommend. read more

Eric and his team were fantastic. We asked them to finish painting a ceiling for us. He was very responsive, patient, and professional. He walked through the things he saw, what our options were, and what he could do to solve those issues. We were so impressed we ended up hiring OP Painters to not only paint the ceiling in the dining room, but the walls, the entire living room, the bathroom, and two bedrooms. They worked quick and the results were great. read more

Eric (the owner) is very responsive and personable. He has great attention to detail and was so helpful in making suggestions. I really liked that he thought critically about the project and brought expertise. His crew was great - all very hard working and personable too. I will use Eric again! read more

After a recent home purchase, my fiancé and I hired Eric to paint our entire home from dark grey to a lighter shade of white. I knew covering up the grey would not be easy, somewhat unpredictable as to how many coats we would need. Eric did a fantastic job estimating the amount of paint. His prices were extremely reasonable based on the other quotes we received. We were also unsure as to which grade of paint and finish we should use in certain areas, we followed Eric's recommendations. All in all, we are thrilled with the result. We couldn't be happier with the way our home looks, the price was very reasonable, Eric was extremely knowledgeable and energetic and we will be using them for all of our future painting needs. read more
