Tom was very responsive and got my bathroom looking like new! When I moved in, the bathroom fan wasn't working and the ceiling and wall paint was peeling from the humidity. Tom gave me a fair quote to scrape, re-prime, and repaint the entire bathroom. He also fixed around 20 nail pops and repainted a different bathroom ceiling all in one day. Excellent workmanship and even better price. Cannot recommend him more. Thanks, Tom! read more

We hired Tom to refresh our rental property. It was in total mess when the tenants moved out. He fixed and painted the whole apartment. There was mold on the bathroom tiles. He washed them with chlorine, regrouted and recaulked. We appreciate his versatility. He did the job when we were out of town. Now it's ready to be rented out. I recommend his great service at the fair value. read more

My husband wrote a review at the time and it has since been removed. Please do not hire Tom. He will scam you. His reviews are fake. After my husband's review, Tom began getting numerous reviews (funny thing is he said I was the first and only client who contacted him that season!). I hired Tom two summers ago to help paint the house that I just purchased. We agreed upon a time he would come quote me and that morning he texted me to change the time. He quoted me and we agreed he would begin working the following Monday since he was taking one last trip with his family before school starts. We agreed. Monday came around and I texted him some information and after a few exchanges, he told me he pushed the start day. I came to the house on the second day (Wednesday) and I found very little work done. However, I did find an air mattress blown up in a room, food in my fridge and freezer, plates & pots in the cabinets, food on the counter, and swim trunks on my patio furniture. Since I was moving in that weekend and wanted everything painted before moving in, Toms priority was the upstairs and I was working on the downstairs with the help of my sister. While I was there, Tom took many breaks to eat and left the house for a couple hours. After I left, my sister stayed back and said Tom was pacing around and asking her what time she was leaving, which was odd. My husband and I came by the house that evening to drop off some belongings into the garage and we found Tom walking into the house in his swim trunks and his family was in our yard in their swim suits and preparing food. I was livid! I had locked our pool that day so Tom and his family had to jump over the fence to get into our above ground pool. I had never told him he could sleep in our house or have his family over to use our pool. When I confronted him he had nothing to say. I told him I want him to pack up and leave because my house is not a vacation spot for him or his family. I ended up calling the police to help. The officers were shocked with how many belongings he had in my house and had said it's a first time they saw a worker try to squat in someone's house. Tom was taking his time packing up that the officers began no helping and telling him to get off my property. The officers made him send me back part of my deposit since he barely got any work done the two days he was there. Tom and his wife were also served with trespassing and told if they return on the property they would be arrested. When thinking about the overall service, I will say he is unprofessional and works at his own pace. The 2 days he was at the house he only painted one room! He was supposed to prime it and never did! There are areas that the old paint color can be seen. His edging job was also terrible. His prices are low for a reason. Save yourself the trouble and find someone who is responsible and who will do a good job. read more

Polish Painter - Painted ceiling and trim - Painters Near Me - Mount Prospect, Illinois

Tom was the best! He showed up on time and made a thoughtful quote that conveyed a sense of expertise and wisdom that others didn't. When we got started, he was detailed, clean, and considerate towards my family while doing the work! While we only did the exterior trim, we'd definitely have him do the rest of the house anytime! read more

We hired Tom to paint our house prior to moving in. Not only did he do an excellent job painting but he patched multiple large holes in the wall from having electrical work done. He also whitewashed an outdated looking brick fireplace. His work was impeccable and we are pleased with the result. Tom was easy to work with, is reasonably priced and had great communication. I would highly recommend him for your painting needs. read more

Tom installed laminate flooring for me. He is very precise and meticulous! Price was very fair!

We recently had Tom paint multiple rooms within our home. We needed a quick turnaround to accomodate a move. Tom was flexible and worked with our changing schedule. More importantly, Tom does excellent work. All the walls he painted are perfect, smooth where patching was required, and painting is precise. His prices were in line with (or better than) multiple estimates we collected. Overall we're very happy with the end results. read more

I have used Tom several times on painting projects. He painted the outside of my house. The quality of work was very good. He discovered some wood that needed to be replaced that was not in the original quote, we discussed and agreed on an additional fee for the wood replacement. He did very professional carpentry work on this repair project. I have also used Tom to paint the inside of my house. He does great work and is reasonable. I highly recommend Tom and will use him again. read more

Please beware of this guy. We hired him to paint the inside of the house we recently closed on in Hampshire IL. At first he seemed friendly and professional. He was supposed to start on Monday and said he needed to push it back til Tuesday. No problem. On Wednesday my wife and I stopped by to drop off a few boxes and noticed voices coming from our backyard. I went to look and found his wife, two kids, and himself in our backyard using our pool and drinking beers. I asked him what he was doing and he shrugged and mumbled something. I confronted him with the fact that our pool had a lock on it so they had to of jumped the fence to get into it. Upon further inspection of the house, he had a blow-up mattress setup in our spare bedroom, a fridge full of his food, pots and pans, and clothes in our cupboards. We ended calling the police on him and his family for trespassing and asked for our money back. Please be careful. Edit 8/17: Tom decided to edit his review to remove the parts where he called us snakes and said that the police laughed at us because we were crazy. He probably realized that his response was unprofessional but what I find most telling is that he still has not explained why he decided to "vacation" in our new home with his family without our permission. If you look closely at the picture of his family outside, you can see a lock on the stairs going up to the pool. This means he would have had to climb over the fence to get into the pool. This is not normal conduct for someone you hired to paint and do some patchwork. There is a police report about this situation and both his wife and him were issued a trespassing citation. I would be very careful when hiring Tom as he is not truthful about how he conducts business with his clients. 8/18 edit: this is my third and final update to this review. I wanted to answer some of Tomasz's questions that he asked in his previous edit. First, I didn't talk about the quality of his work because there wasn't a whole lot done to rate. In two full days of work, he only completed 1 out of 3 bedrooms, a little bit of patch, and a began edging in the master bedroom. Upon further inspection, the sharpness of the edging in the room he completed is poor. I've attached a picture to this review, You can clearly see and previous color underneath the new color. I'm not sure if he'll say it's the painters tapes fault or maybe the eight beers he consumed while working but to me it's not the quality of work he promised...but I've only reviewed one business so I guess I'm not a good judge so take a look for yourselves Secondly he asked me to explained why my wife told him to use the pool and "have a nice getaway". Simply put she didn't tell him to use the pool. I've attached the text between Tom and my wife and she clearly does not say please use my pool or bring your whole family here and use our new house as a vacation rental property. He said they were going to Michigan for the weekend, which was also probably a lie, and she was telling him to enjoy the Michigan getaway. Also if he didn't bring pots, pans, or dishes how was he going to cook the eggs, soups, sausages that he stocked in my fridge? To finish this complete disaster of an experience. I just want to say to anyone who is thinking about hiring Tomasz, please please think about someone else because his quality is poor and he's a liar and will take advantage of your kindness and hospitality and try and twist your words to save face. Please be careful. read more

Tom provides the most quality service when it comes to painting. We recently had our floor replaced along with the baseboards + shoes in our house. So we needed all the baseboards painted and caulked. There are also several areas that needed to be touched up. Out of all the painters we requested quotes from, Tom was the most responsive and provided the most competitive pricing. He came by the next couple days to look at the project and provided an estimate. Tom was very meticulous and actually spent an good amount of time to look at every single detail, including our stairs and several spots that needed touch ups. During this time he provided professional insights about painting to us as new home owners. Once we decided to go with him, he tried to fit us in his already busy schedule in the same week. He came with all his gears ready on a Friday. The project actually bigger than it seemed originally. Tom was very respectful and professional, with extreme attention to details. After the first day, he decided to come do the second half of the job next day on a Saturday. What amazed me the most was he decided to work the entire day on Saturday just so that the house will be ready for us as soon as possible. Tom stayed in our house until 10pm to finish everything. Including all the baseboards, stair risers, and every little spots that needed touch ups. Instead of spending time with his family on a Saturday, he went above and beyond to make it perfect. It is truly no joke. My wife and I were both very impressed and satisfied. We later found that he actually gave us an extremely competitive quote and basically did not charge for parts of the labor. I must say we got lucky finding him. Other than the actual work itself, he's also a very knowledgeable person and a fun guy to talk to. I enjoyed my conversations with him quite a bit. In the future, when my friends or myself need more excellent painting, I will not hesitate to contact Tom. He is the best. read more

Polish Painter - Superb painting on our baseboards and the fireplace - Painters Near Me - Mount Prospect, Illinois

This will be my last entry as I don't believe in tit for tat exchanges. Hiring him to entertain me as he indicated I don't think so. Another quote of $6500 and him quoting $4000? I guess he means if you hire him for $4000 one has to put up with his operating mentality. As far as his quality of work the new painters are redoing much of what this guy did. Nail pops are very visible after repair as they were never sanded, then he just painted over them. Never even sanded the plaster. Drywall lines in our wallboard are tape lines and not from the drywall buckling as he indicated then he just painted over them so he didn't have to repair. New painters need to correct but it should have been addressed. Where he painted the trim in powder he missed spots that have to be completed also where he painted the walls in the hallway he painted from 1/8" to 1/4" on the ceiling. Anyway now you see from his reply's, my experience, and his lack of quality work why he was fired within 1week. I guess he feels anyone who is retired is lazy and just watches TV. Point being do you really need this kind of aggravation when you contract someone? His replies will just keep coming. As a homeowner Find yourself a real professional to just do the Simple job for which he was hired. There are plenty of good painters that have no patience for excuse and lie after lie. Keep this guy out of your house. Sorry you had to read this and put up with this garbage but now you see for yourself what kind of painter he is. I wish others had decided to warn us of his tactics. You don't need this aggravation. read more

Polish Painter - the front of a house - Painters Near Me - Mount Prospect, Illinois

This painter worked for me many years on many jobs ranging from the entire interior of one of my homes to both major and very detailed exterior work on others. In every case the quality of his work was STELLAR and his prices were reasonable. I fully recommend him for any painting project someone would have in mind. read more

I have requested estimates from 3 different painters and Tom was very responsive and came over to our house next following day after the phone call to check our exterior house. He gave us a quote that was very competitive decided to go with Tom. He was the sole person who was responsible for painting our exterior house. And he did an excellent job of painting our house and trims. We are very happy with the work. read more

If I could, I would give zero stars. My experience was horrible with Tom. I went with Tom because he had such a great price and good reviews on Yelp. I was getting my 2700 square feet place painted with trim work. I had multiple contractor give me a quote and so did he. the first day he came, he gave me quote of $7500 plus the trim intallation of 800. He said he can start immediately and that was important to me because my contractor needed the ceiling painted to finish the work who were working on the bathroom. A week after I call Tom and hire him. He said he can start on Thursday. I said sound good. ON Thursday, He asked me to come on site so we can go over the details of all that needed to be done, which we had discussed on our first meet however I was fine with doing it because I wanted to make sure the job is done properly. I spent 2 hours answering all of his questions regarding what needed to be done. He stated it was going to be a lot of work and will cost and he has to recalculate the cost. Which I was fine with and I asked to get it in writing so we don't change the price later. After Noon he came and gave me a price of 10,000 which included everything and we agreed and payed the downpayment. He starts to work and states the walls needed to primed by my contractor who were working on the bathroom, which was never discussed when we spoke, or he it will cost more. Than he said the bathroom window trim isn't included and it will cost more. He started to add more cost to his total we agreed to. He wanted my contractor who was hired to finish the bathroom to finish patching the master bedroom walls b/c he felt they had the materials there so I should pay them or force them to do what I had hired Tom to do. I think misunderstanding can take place but he was on sit 2wice with me to go over the details what needed to be done. He wanted to charge extra for everything even we went through. Thank god I had things in writing from him. What really pushed me over was that he wanted to charge from flat to Eggshell paint and he said it will be $500 extra. 5 gallon of paint from flat to eggshell costed $10 more and I was expecting maximum of be $50 more. He stated it would make him patch the walls so therefore it would be $500 which he should have been doing with flat on the first place. I found Tom to be a scam. We had to call the deal off because every time I spoke to him he wanted to charge more and wanted my contractor to do his job. He was also very unprofessional. He refused to speak on the phone when I had a question. He only wanted to talk thought text messages and didn't answer phone calls either. Luckily I found someone to complete the job at my house for a better price and better work. I have been remodeling my house and have dealt with close to 7 contractors simultaneously. With none of them i had such an experience until I met Tom. read more

We received many bids to paint and repair our new office space. Tom was the best combo for us. The price was great, very competitive. He made him self available to complete our job in a pretty tight window. I'm pretty sure he started taping and prepping immediately so he could get more done in the morning. Overall, the price was great and he did a great job to beat up rental space that hadn't been touched in 15 years. He repaired, patched, painted walls, ceilings, trim, and doors very quickly and everything looks amazing. When we redo our floors, he will be our only call. read more

I found Tom through Yelp, and after getting a few quotes through other painters, I landed on Tom. I couldn't be happier that I crossed path's with Tom, and had him paint my house. Tom started by coming to my house, and asking several questions about our expectations, and the job. Tom was neat, clean, efficient, and most importantly did an amazing job. I have had Tom come back twice now for my living room, and then my dining room. I have also given him several referrals as he is as good as it gets. I highly recommend the Polish Painter (Tom) for any paintjob you maybe considering. Thank you Tom! read more

I used Polished Painter to get my deck refinished. It was a pleasure to work with him. He not only showed on time but also worked on the weekend since I didn't have any other choices because of my work situation. He was very clean and my deck looks AMAZING!!!!! Oh, and did I mention? Very affordable!!! read more

Polish Painter - My lovely patio! - Painters Near Me - Mount Prospect, Illinois

Tom did a great job! He was responsive, friendly and understanding of what I was expecting. I have no complaints about him or his work. He finished the job in a neat and clean manner. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would definitely recommend Tom. read more

We hired Tom for a HUGE painting job after our complete home renovation. He is very thorough and did a great job with walls, ceilings, doors and baseboards. We hired him to come back again for another job and were again very pleased. Tom is reasonably priced and works with you to understand everything that goes into his quote which I appreciated especially if you need to make some trade offs on what you might want to tackle yourself vs let a professionally handle completely. He also bought supplies for the job which saved us time and money. I would definitely recommend Tom! read more

Great work at great price. Very clean and efficient. Highly recommend Tom for anyone that needs a great painter.

Tom was absolutely awesome to work with! He painted a large interior wall in my loft condo and the work was done timely and came out looking great! Would definitely recommend! read more

I found Tom using Yelp and I could tell from the very first phone conversation he was one of the most experienced and knowledgeable painters I could have found all around. I got a few quotes from other people, but Tom's was one of the most competitive and I was impressed by how thorough he was to do the work assessment. While doing the walk-through, he pointed every little detail, look into every nook and cranny to make sure any secondary repairs were needed. He politely suggested some fixes that would speed up paintwork, but I have never felt pressed to do the job, all was optional and well explained. Thanks to his thorough assessment, I finally hired him not only for the paint job but for some drywall replacement after a leak and for fixing a botched electric job. He also installed and painted door trims, removed some old wallpaper from one of my bedroom walls, and did some other cosmetic work in a bathroom. I also hired him for outside jobs - power washing of the concrete patio and some tuckpointing of the brick wall on the back side of my house. Tom's general construction knowledge makes him an exceptional painter and repairman. I've never seen anyone working so swiftly and efficiently - jobs were planned so no time was wasted, he would have all the materials ready when needed. He finished all the jobs and the result was nothing short of perfect! He was able to work unsupervised at my place while I was at work and he made all necessary decisions himself, consulting me only about important issues. His friendly and jolly demeanor made working with him a pleasure. I have another rental property to be renovated and Tom will be the person I will hire again! I would definitely recommend his services for any paint and renovation project! read more

Tom was great to work with. His quote was the best and he did great work. I would definitely call him again if I needed another job done.

Tom did an excellent job painting our bathroom, kitchen, and living room. He works by himself, so no worries about having someone else doing the job instead of him. He does take his time doing the job, but it was well worth the wait. read more

Tomasz did a wonderful job. We had him paint 5 rooms in our house. He was professional, fast, reasonably priced, and his work is flawless. We will definitely use him again!! read more
