If I could give them no stars I would. Made an appointment for them to come and give us an estimate. At the last minute Thomas called to say they were not coming because his workers did not like the neighborhood. He berated the neighborhood stating that he did not like it We live on the northwest side of Chicago in a very quiet neighborhood, not In a bad area. Terrible, terrible customer service read more

The place I was moving to was rented to a tenant for 4 years and wall/ceiling condition was pretty bad. I basically googled / yelped around and got quotes from multiple guys. A lot of them were difficult to reach and hard to schedule visits for estimate but Thomas was very easy to reach and he made himself available to visit even at night. The price was very reasonable so we accepted right away. Through out the work process, Thomas was very friendly, honest, and diligent. Everyday he wanted to check and make sure that I was happy with how it was going. I am more than satisfied with the result and I would definitely recommend this guy to anyone who needs painting job. I can guarantee that you will be happy that you chose this guy. read more

Thomas Painting Service - Painters Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Thomas and his crew were amazing- a complete pleasure to work with! I'm in the process of selling my condo in Evanston, as I'm relocating out of state, and I was trying to get the place ready for the open house. I was trying to patch some holes and touch up the paint, but the color I purchased (same brand/name as the original paint) clearly did not match, and I all of a sudden had an emergency situation to get it fixed before the weekend. Enter Thomas. I contacted him early the next morning, and he returned my call less than an hour later. He gave me a quick estimate over the phone and was able to send a crew member on Saturday morning to fix the walls. His crew member- I can't remember his name, but he is originally from Mongolia, and he was great!- was polite and very efficient. He patched everything really well, dried it, and then did two coats of touch up paint. I would not hesitate to call Thomas for any paint job, big or small. He is professional, responsive, and (be still my millennial heart) is fine making arrangements via text, which I found really convenient. Thanks!! My condo looks great and I've already received an offer. read more

When I moved to Chicago not too long ago, I couldn't afford one of those large and perfectly painted studios like all the artists are dreaming to have one day. Instead, I rented a small, two-room apartment in the outskirts of the city, and I just needed to have somebody apply a fresh layer of paint on the walls to look as good as new. As everybody else, I checked the local newspaper and the Yellow Pages, looking for a skilled Chicago painter that is friendly and professional and that won't rip me off. This is how I came across Thomas, a very open, friendly and talkative painter who was about the same age as I was. We talked a bit, I told him how I envisioned the apartment and he suggested some really nice paint shades that I haven't considered before. We truly were on the same wavelength, so I have made my choice - Thomas was my choice, and I do not regret a thing! Of course, I had to buy lots of paint for the 70 square-meter apartment, but it was all worth it in the end. Not only did he help me choose the right colors, but he also offered me his friendly and obviously experienced advice on the finish. I initially wanted a glossy finish for some of the areas, but Thomas was like "No mate, unless you plan to turn this whole place into a dancefloor or a night club, that is not going to happen". I trusted him, simply because we talked so nicely and we connected, this is why I allowed him to use satin finish for the trim and a beautiful matte beige color for the walls. It was paint of the highest quality (and it came with a hefty price tag, of course), but it was all worth it in the end! I had no idea that there are literally hundreds of different shades of the same color, and there is actually a name for each one of them. Thanks to Thomas, I now know the difference between Duke Blue, Denim, Cambridge Blue, Royal, Midnight, Turquoise, Cyan and Ultramarine! So although Thomas only did the paint job for my living room and my bedroom, he did it extremely quick and professionally - and I am really glad to say that we are still very good friends today. He really loved his job. To many of us, working as a painter may seem mediocre, it may seem a job for people with low aspirations, but it is actually something that truly inspired Thomas. He came alive whenever the brush touched the wall and his eyes would lighten up with every square inch of wall that was covered in a fresh, thick, lively colored of paint. It is almost like he was living for that color! It was a real pleasure to watch this talented painter Chicago do his thing right under my eyes, not to mention that he was actually able to multitask as well, as we had long, nice chats while he was painting my walls. He was fast and efficient, and he didn't charge me a small fortune either. As a matter of fact, his job was absolutely impeccable and I really felt the need to tip him! This is the story of the talented Thomas the painter, a person that turned out to be a lot more than just a stranger - he was one of the most talkative persons I have ever met, and having him around, even for just a couple of days, was a sheer pleasure. Besides, he also offered to do the touch-up if the paint would peel off accidentally or if anything happened to it in the near future. It was then when he gained my whole trust and confidence, and I would kindly recommend him to all my friends and relatives who need a cheap yet top-notch paint job. The bottom line is that finding a professional painter who is as committed to his job as Thomas is can turn out to be a very challenging task. I was pleased to see him work and I am extremely satisfied with the work - my two-room apartment now looks amazing, and he will always be on my "To Recommend" list to whoever needs a trustworthy and reliable painter, be it for the interior of their home or for the patio. read more

I have owned an historic tudor home in Evanston for many years. Of course this involves painting/maintaining all of the wood and trim on the outside of the house. We have painted several times - but the best service and value of all of our paint jobs came from Thomas. The owner is involved in the details of each job. I was worried (frankly) because Thomas offered very competitive (as in not "North Shore Special") pricing and I wasn't sure the quality would be up to spec. I needn't have worried because my neighbor painted his house at the exact same time as we did, and our still looks great while his needs a re-paint already (3.5 years on). Finally, there was one small area where there was an issue with the paint peeling - and Thomas just came out and re-painted it for free. No haggling, no questions asked. I'm happy to recommend Thomas Painting Services to anyone. read more

Excellent work, really courteous crew, and responds quickly. Really glad I hired them. They were super busy when I first called so Thomas asked me to send a photo so he could give me a quote. I sent a few photos, explained the job, and he gave me a reasonable price. He explained that they were on a big job but if I was flexible on time, he could do it in 3 weeks. I agreed. He came out in 2 weeks and did a beautiful job. I really appreciate when the owner himself comes out to make sure everything is done right. Would hire them again in a heartbeat. read more

First let me start by saying, I had high hopes for Thomas Paint Service with the excellent reviews that others have posted. Thomas was able to quickly come out and take a look at the exterior paint work my husband and I needed done. He provided an estimate on the spot and email a formal estimate later that evening. I was impressed with the quick response and his patience with all our questions. Thomas was also less expensive than most of the quotes we had received. A few days after Thomas came out for the original quote, I was able to schedule our exterior paint job for a Saturday morning the following week. The Saturday morning he was scheduled to complete the work, he arrived early with one other worker. The first clue that something didn't seem right was when Thomas had to show the other worker how to sand. However, we gave the benefit of the doubt and they continued to set up. Part of our paint job required accessing the roof to paint a small exterior section. Thomas had seen this area when he was out for the quote, but upon setting up the job site did not bring the proper safety equipment. Safety is key, so my husband and I albeit, a bit aggravated at this point because we had blocked an entire Saturday to be home for the painting job, agreed to re-schedule the job when Thomas could borrow the correct safety equipment from a fellow painter. The following Wednesday Thomas had re-scheduled to be out to paint the exterior of our town home. He assured us he would have the correct safety equipment and we asked that he come at 7:30am instead of 8:00am, so my husband could have the peace of mind before he went to work that appropriate safety measures were being taken and set up correctly as to not endanger the workers or damage our roof. I planned to work from home all day, so that I would be around to supervise the work. Wednesday morning came around and Thomas NEVER showed up, NEVER called us, and NEVER returned any of our calls. I am very unhappy with the reliability and professionalism displayed by Thomas Painting Service. If Thomas was not able to complete our paint job, I would have preferred to know up front so that I could hire another painter. Now 3 weeks later from when I first contacted Thomas, I am scrambling to find another painter that can do the job by the end of the summer. Thomas Paint Service is unreliable and the reasonable quotes are not worth the headache. In my opinion, I wish I would have gone with a more expensive painter from the beginning for the reliability and professionalism I would expect from a service oriented company. read more

Thomas paint service was great to work with from the start. Upon request I received a very reasonable quote for my project. Thomas himself was great with follow up and answering all questions I had. I was originally scheduled for the beginning of April but he had a change in schedule and knew I needed my job done as soon as possible so rescheduled for two weeks sooner (couldn't be more thankful). His crew was wonderful and very polite. They were able to finish our job in 4 days and my home looks amazing. Work completed: patching/painting of plaster walls and ceilings. Staining of trim ( base boards, window/door frames and doors. 3 bedrooms and living and dining room. read more

Thomas was great! He came on a very short notice to give me a quote for an exterior painting job. He gave me a reasonable quote and did even more work that I had hoped/expected on such short notice, and for a great price! Thomas and his crew were very professional and knowledgeable, very easy to work with. Excellent customer service. I would highly recommend this company. read more

These guys did a great job at a fair price. They were here for five days (one or two guys each day) to finish all the exterior painting on our house. Thomas came by several times to make sure we were happy with the work. A good choice. read more

I'm getting ready to list my condo, and I needed the walls repaired and painted. I found Thomas Paint Service on Yelp. Thomas provided a very reasonable quote, and his crew was available within a couple of weeks. They did a great job repairing the walls--they even fixed a botched repair from a few years ago, where my last painter failed to sand down the joint compound after filling in a long hairline crack--and the walls now look beautiful! Not only that, but they actually finished the job a day early. Thanks, Thomas! read more

Great experience. Thomas Paint Service was highly responsive, offered a reasonable quote, and scheduled the job within a matter of days. The quality of the work itself was great and hid defects from earlier paint jobs. Would use again. read more

I'm a retired remodeling contractor and have hired many painters over the years. Found Thomas on yelp. Thomas did 3 jobs for me this year. First my very tall three flat in lakeview needed windows painted. 2nd job was to pressure wash and seal my 2 story porch in bucktown. 3rd job was to clean and paint my home in Northbrook. He came in with very reasonable prices. Did exactly what we discussed on each job. Was as punctual as clockwork as well,. And I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends and family. read more

Thomas called several days before the job was to begin to confirm my color choices, my location and the parts of my home I wanted painted. He and his guys arrived 20 minutes early and immediately started prepping the area. I had some concerns about dripping paint and they assured me that they would be very careful and they were. What an awesome group of guys that did an amazing job. I couldn't be happier you guys exceeded my expectations. I can't thank you enough.......If you are looking for a painter you can't go wrong with Thomas Painting. read more

Professional from start to finish! No need for price haggling 1st estimate was fair and all inclusive. Finished ahead of schedule without cutting corners. Highly recommend Thomas. read more

There is no possible way this painting service could ever have gotten a five star review that was legit. Initial estimate interview went well, even though the price felt a bit high for the small rooms he was to paint. He came in with a painter on the date we agreed. That painter didn't finish after spending the entire day at our house. Thomas came back the next day with another man who "finished", but left bubbles in the cheap paint they supplied (not the Benjamin Moore paint I requested, but a cheap knock off.. photo attached). After Thomas himself came back on yet another day to fix the spots that were poorly done and take out nails that were never removed and painted over, he was done. We paid him. He charged us extra for a closet that never had any nails removed and patched, they were just painted over, and the closet ceiling never got painted. We are in the process of patching those spots and fixing their mistakes. This painter is a joke and a rip off. read more

Thomas Painting Service - Painters Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Thomas is a great, honest guy. I've used him twice now and both times he and his crew bailed me out of tight spots. My wife and I just bought our first condo and Thomas was able to come in, give me an estimate and get the job done all in less than a week so we could move in. He even got us a discount on paint. He is very communicative, shows up on time and does a really terrific job. He made the walls in our new home, which had some damage in places, look new. He is also incredibly reasonable on price. Give him a try. You won't regret it. read more

First time using YELP. I bought 3 bedroom 2 baths house in Lincoln park( Chicago) I need whole house painted. Thomas came over with his crew( 6 painters) and nailed it in 3 days. I picked many different colors and they did great job. Lines are perfect,2 coats everywhere and trim and doors look very nice. I am going to use Thomas painter again. Also I will give his name to all my friends. Great paint job and thanks again read more

Great experience. Price was very good and quality superb. Definitely exceeded expectations. Highly recommend.

Thomas responded within minutes of my leaving a voicemail asking for an estimate to paint my one bedroom apartment. He arrived the same day to look at my place and his estimate was very reasonable. His two painters were polite, fast, neat and really good. Thomas had suggestions about the quality of paint to be used and that while he suggested flat paint for the walls, the baseboard and doors should be semigloss. I am very happy with his work and I have another unit for him to paint. read more

Unfortunately we did not have the same experience as the other reviewers. We were quoted high but accepted because of this company's online reviews. It was supposed to be a full three day job but the two very young men that painted for us were done in less than 8 hours total. This excited us until we looked closer. We emailed "Thomas" several pictures to show all of the mistakes and he simply replied that they would fix it. Awkwardly, he sent back the same two boys the next morning and they had no clue what needed to be fixed. When I showed them, they fixed a few areas but told me they couldn't patch anything because it would show. So basically, the walls that they were forced to do two coats on, look decent. The other walls have mistakes and show their patching when the light hits them. Not to mention, they do not remove any hardware or socket plates and did not tape and there are areas where this caused a problem. It was beyond awkward to have to show two young men the mistakes they needed to fix when they were clearly in a hurry to leave. We never received a follow up call from Thomas to make sure we were satisfied but he did cash our check. read more

I recently hired Thomas Paint Services to paint the inside of our new condo. I had never hired painters before so I had no idea what to expect, price wise, timeliness etc. After getting a few quotes I decided to hire them and I couldn't have been more pleased with the work! Not only was the price good but they were able to get the job done in a single day. (1800 sq ft 3bd 2ba -painted most rooms). The work itself was flawless, clean lines, no blotches or paint where it shouldn't be. I can tell Thomas takes great pride in the work he and his team do. If I were to need more painting I will use them again. read more

Excellent service, very honest and most importantly: quality of paint work done on my apartment.

These guys were great! They provided a timely quote and completed the work the following week. They are very reasonable and did a good job.
