Looking for a Painter

I'm about to embark on having my house painted (the interior) becuase the toupe contractor-flat paint I currently have is horrible! I was hoping one of the other moms out there would know someone that they would recommend. Maybe someone who isn't working much these days and could really use the money? They would need to have equipment to be able to handle a 2-story foyer area. We're in the SW side of Plainfield

What can I do next?

There is a company out of Tinley Park. They are great! The name of the company is John Dec Painting and Decorating. They will come in and give a free estimate. I've had several rooms in my home painted and exterior. Pricing is competitive.

My boyfriend (Angus) owns a remodeling company (K&S Kitchens & Baths) and I know he does smaller paint jobs. I think on larger jobs he has an actual painter do them for him but either way, I know he does great work, and with it being such a slow time, I know he could use the work. He is VERY dependable. He is located on the SW Side of Plainfield too. His number is ###-###-#### or you can email him at ____@____.com.

HI! I have a painter recommendation for you:
Fabulous Finishes
Steve Sexton
###-###-####

This is a small buisiness - run by Steve. He brings a helper painter or his cousin painter. Not a big painting company, so he relies a lot on word-of-mouth business.
He has painted my two story foyer and family room. Twice, actually.
Steve is a personal friend of mine. I have refered him to many of my friends and neighbors. He is safe, clean and does a nice job.
If you call him, you are welcome to say that you got his number from me. (This is not necessary, though.)
I will answer any questions if you have them.
Good luck!
S.
