Small projects. A big difference.
Painter for a Day in Chicagoland.
The scuffed hallway. The accent wall you keep imagining. The touch-ups on your list. Put a skilled painter on it and enjoy getting it done.

Let’s make room for your project
We confirm the flat day rate, working hours and task list before you book. Paint is supplied by you or quoted separately. No payment with this request.
Make the most of your day
What fits in a day.
A day works best for a focused list with manageable preparation. Larger projects deserve their own written scope. Explore the pricing guide.
Good uses of the day
- A smaller room with light preparation
- Touch-ups across a whole house
- A hallway refresh within safe reach
- Doors and trim in a few rooms
- A feature wall or an accent color
- Cutting in after you have rolled the middle yourself
Better with a project estimate
- Whole-house repaints, which cost less priced as a project
- Exterior work, which needs weather planning and usually more than a day
- Major drywall repair or plaster work
- Wallpaper removal, which almost never fits in a day
- Anything needing scaffolding or a lift
No surprises at five o'clock
How the day runs.
We agree on priorities, protect your space, and keep you updated. Preparation and drying time determine how much fits into the day.
-
Morning, we agree the list
Walk the painter through what you want. They will tell you what realistically fits and what to drop if it does not.
-
Through the day, you can change your mind
That is the point of the product. Reorder the list, swap a room, add a door.
-
Late afternoon, we call it
You hear before the end of the day whether everything got done, not after.
-
End of day, we clean up
Furniture back, floors clear, and a walkthrough with you before the painter leaves.

What does a day cost?
Call us for today's rate. It is a flat number for one painter for the day, and we would rather quote it accurately than publish a figure that drifts.
Who supplies the paint?
You can, and most people do because they have already chosen a color. If you would rather we brought it, we will quote the paint separately once we know the color and the coverage.
How much gets done in a day?
More than most people expect for touch-ups, less than most people expect for a full room with heavy prep. Tell us your list when you book and we will tell you honestly what fits.
What if we run over?
We will tell you before the end of the day, not after. Overtime and weekend rates are set case by case, so ask when you book.
Does a day cost less than a normal quote?
Not necessarily, and it is not meant to be. It is a different product: flexibility instead of a fixed scope. For a whole house, a project price is usually the better buy.
