The price is on the website
Most painters make you sit through a sales visit before you hear a number. Ours are published, and the estimator gives you a range for your own rooms before anyone knocks.
Who you are hiring
Painting built for Chicagoland homes.
We paint houses across Chicagoland. We publish our prices, we write the scope down before we start, and the finish still looks right after a Chicago winter.

The short version
Who we are.
Bold Coat paints homes and businesses from the city out through the north, northwest, west and south suburbs. Cedar and stucco on the North Shore, older plaster and lath in the city, Hardie and brick out west, and cabinets and outdoor wood everywhere in between.
Meet the people who take your project from the first conversation to the final walkthrough. We help you choose a finish, agree on the preparation, and explain the schedule before the work starts. Your written scope keeps the details in one place.
What we sell is a job you can schedule around. Daily updates, a clean site every evening, a start on the day we said, a walkthrough you sign off, and a written warranty. None of that is remarkable. It is just uncommon enough to be worth putting in writing.
If you are comparing painters, ask each of them for a written scope that names the surfaces and the prep. The gap between two quotes is almost always sitting in what one of them left out. Then call (773) 899-7215 or ask us for a number.
How we work
What we do differently.
From the first quote to the last piece of masking tape, these are the details that make painting your home feel straightforward.
The scope is written down
Surfaces, prep, coats and product, in writing, before anything opens. It is the only way to compare two quotes honestly, and it is what stops the price moving halfway through.

One supervisor owns your job
You get a name and a number, not a rotation of strangers. They walk the job with you at the start and at the end, and they are the person who answers when something needs deciding.
Vetted, insured teams
Background-checked, supervised, and fully insured. Certificates naming your entity, a W-9, and lien waivers reach you before the first day rather than after you chase them.
We say when it is not us
Some jobs are outside what we do well, and some are better spent elsewhere. If replacing your cabinets beats refinishing them, we will tell you that instead of quoting.
Our promise
The Bold Coat Promise.
Five things that hold on every job, written down rather than said on the doorstep.
- Daily updates You always know where the job stands.
- A clean site every evening Floors covered, tools packed, the room usable again.
- We start on the day we said And you hear early if weather moves it.
- A walkthrough you sign off We are not done until you have walked the job with us.
- A written warranty On the finished work, in the scope, not a verbal promise.
Our process
How a job actually runs.
-
Walkthrough and written scope
Day 1: we walk the house, note surfaces and prep, and send a clear scope before any paint opens.
-
Protect, prep, prime
Days 2 and 3: floors and plantings covered, failed coatings removed, and primer where the surface needs it.
-
Finish coats and walkthrough
Final days: even coats, a clean site, and a walkthrough you sign off before we pack up.
Where we work
Five areas across Chicagoland.
Chicago
The city itself, from the lakefront neighborhoods to the bungalow belt.
North
Lake Michigan weather, older housing stock, a lot of cedar and stucco.
Northwest
Newer subdivisions and larger lots, plus the older village centers.
West
Historic homes, brick and stucco, and a lot of trim work.
South and Southwest
Frame and brick homes, and a lot of exterior work.
