"The exterior of our Mountainside home desperately needed an update, but we didn't know who we could trust to do the job well. Once we started asking friends in Mountainside who they hired to paint their beautiful homes, our solution became clear. Solis Painting was recommended time and again for their expertise and professionalism. Solis repaired, prepped and painted our weathered siding, and the results are breathtaking! We couldn't be more thrilled to recommend Solis to our Mountainside friends and neighbors!"
Before you stand back and marvel at this huge DIY accomplishment, you’ll need to clean up the worksite. Remove painter’s tape, scrape any paint off of windows, and clean tools and brushes. Seal paint cans by cleaning the inner ring, placing the lid back on the paint can, and gently hammering around the lid’s perimeter with a rubber mallet.
Invariably, a few particular Chicago neighborhoods stand out as our most popular. Let’s highlight a couple of these local Chicago neighborhoods and the things that make them unique.
Our process begins with an extensive certification process followed by multiple in-person interviews. What follows is an exhaustive reference check and actual onsite tryouts at our own homes.

I also suggest finding a good picture of a bathroom you absolutely love and utilizing those colors.
Painting both the inside and outside of your home is a great solution that refreshes your space and adds value. It’s more affordable and convenient than a full-scale remodel. The top reasons most homeowners paint their home’s interior is to change their aesthetic, protect the walls themselves, and enhance the quality of the air indoors by reducing the dust particles in the air.

Most painters give you the option to buy your own paint supplies. However, they will also offer their rate, including supplies, if you’d rather them get them. The biggest advantage of buying your own paint is controlling the brand and price point you want. However, when painters get it for you, they often apply their contractor discount, which can benefit you. Plus, it takes all the load off your shoulders.
The average cost of labor for an interior paint job is anywhere between $35 and $45 per hour. To give you an idea: painting 2,4000 square feet takes about 8 hours, which is between $280 and $360. Do keep in mind that some professional painters prefer to charge by square foot.
Unquestionably, we all have old paint cans somewhere in our homes. Typically they are left by previous owners or past contractors that have worked at your home.
Selecting the right colors is only half the challenge,buying quality paint is important. I have tried several kinds of house paint over the years and have learned to always buy quality paint now. It is always better to spend the extra few dollars per gallon on quality. I usually suggest buying from an actual professional paint supplier like dulux,general paint etc.
