How it works

A little planning. A clearer price.

Explore your options freely. Share your details only when you want us to follow up.

Pick your rooms

A bedroom is a bedroom. We use a typical Chicagoland footprint for each one and say so on the result, so you never measure anything.

Say what is included

Walls, ceilings, trim and doors. New color or the same one. Whether the walls need patching. The number moves as you tap.

Keep it, or book the visit

Save it and it gets its own link for thirty days. When you are ready, we confirm it on site before anything is scheduled.

Where the number stops

What the number covers.

Publishing a price is only useful if the boundary around it is published too.

In the price

  • Prep: filling, sanding, caulking and spot priming
  • Masking floors, furniture and fixtures
  • Two coats on a color change, one on a like-for-like refresh
  • Named products, not "premium paint"
  • Cleanup and a walkthrough at the end

Quoted separately

  • Structural repair, rot or water damage found behind the finish
  • Lead-safe work in pre-1978 homes, which is quoted separately
  • Wallpaper removal and skim coating a whole room
  • Scaffolding or lift rental on high stairwells and exteriors
  • Exterior work, which we quote on site rather than online

For reference

A standard room.

If you want a sense of the scale before you start tapping. The full guide has cost by room type, whole-home bands and what moves a price.

about $930

Walls, ceiling, and baseboards. Prep, patching, two coats.

  • A 10 by 10 room with 8 foot ceilings
  • Smooth walls in sound condition
  • A color change, so two coats
  • Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint on walls, ProMar 200 on ceilings and trim

Before you tap

Questions about the estimator.

Call (773) 899-7215
Do I have to give an email to see the price?

No. The number is on screen as you tap. We ask for an email or a phone number only if you want the estimate sent to you or want us to come and confirm it.

Why is it a range and not one number?

The low end is the scope exactly as you described it. The high end adds the repairs a walkthrough usually finds and a photo never shows, about two square feet of patching per room. A single figure would read as a quote for a room nobody has seen.

How accurate is it?

It uses typical Chicagoland room sizes and the same rates we quote from. Room by room, with your own measurements, it lands close to the written quote. Neither can see a wall that needs skim coating, which is why we still visit before booking.

Is this a different price from the one you quote?

It is the same engine and the same rates as the pricing page. The visit can move the number if we find something the questions did not cover, and we tell you what changed and why rather than handing you a new total.

Can I price an exterior here?

Not yet. Exterior price turns on stories, siding type and how much repair the walls need, and a number produced without seeing those would misrepresent your house. Call us and we will walk it with you.

Can I come back to my result later?

Yes. Save it and it gets its own link, good for thirty days. Bookmark it or send it to whoever else is deciding.
