CHJ, once again, knocked it out of the park with their high quality of work, painting, and careful preparation to protect the furniture, floors, and rooms not getting painted. Chris and his team are always very polite and accommodating. We trust them and know they will always give us a fair quote for their work. They will continue to be our go-to for our home improvements. Highly recommended!

Our small condo building (100+ years old) in downtown Chicago has used CHJ’s business partner (Wojtek at Voy-Tech) for a number of varied projects (new concrete parking area, exterior siding repair and re-staining, exterior brick replacement, and tree removal). Good folks, excellent work, and very fair prices. We’ll continue to use them for all our upcoming projects.

“CHJ just completed a total do over of our 60 year old garage.”
CHJ just completed a total do over of our 60 year old garage. Repairing, patching and sanding our walls, ceiling and doors. Change out of all electrical outlets, light switches and new LED ceiling lights. And last but not least a complete fixing of our old pock marked and chipping floor with new colored epoxy. All came out beautifully. Chris was prompt with returning my request for an estimate and very attentive throughout the entire process. His price was accurate to my needs and very fair. Chris is one of the best General managers of a team I have ever dealt with. First his crew, all fantastic!! Talented, thorough, unbelievably respectful of our property and concerns. Just all really nice guys, great job hiring and keeping this level of talent. As I mentioned Chris was awesome, there each and every day managing and chipping in work with the crew. His attentiveness to my needs and question was appreciated. I’ve dealt with few other contractors that gave that level of connectivity. The prep installation and clean up all went flawlessly. Super happy with the job and thanks to Chris and his crew. I would highly recommend checking them out.

My mom used this contractor on her condo for numerous projects and they did a spectacular job. They were always fast and within budget. They also cleaned up carefully after every job and helped my mom out with smaller projects (as well as the big ones). Easy to work with, honest - she recommends them highly.

CHJ Painting and Remodeling painted several interior rooms of our house, a few of which required significant patching and repair. The crew did an excellent job -- the rooms look brand-new and we are so pleased with the results! Because CHJ also provides remodeling services, they were able to expertly handle every mini-project we requested to refresh the rooms, which included electrical and carpentry work. Chris was great to work with -- responsive and highly knowledgeable. The team was very professional and hard-working, arrived on time, and cleaned up thoroughly every day. We highly recommend CHJ and would definitely use them again.

CHJ Painting and Remodeling painted the exterior of my house, which included a large portico and three very beaten-up doors. His crew did a very good job and Andre’s prep work on my 70 year old doors made them look brand new! They also found a problem with one of my front bay windows. Chris had his carpenter come to the house to find a fix to the problem. Chris explained what needed to be done and why it was the right thing to do. I trusted his judgement and was not disappointed! The window looked great after the repair. It is rare to find a painter that can also do carpentry work when needed. Overall, I found Chris to be responsive, fair, and pleasant to work with. I would gladly use him again.

“We had a wonderful experience with CHJ Painting.”
We had a wonderful experience with CHJ Painting. Chris was easy to talk to and heard everything we said and totally met our needs. Chris' crew, Igor, Vince and Andre' were the nicest guys and did a stellar job painting and plastering for us in a number of our rooms. They also removed remains of this horrible hard to remove wallpaper. It was so bad I thought it would be impossible to do and the room needed new drywall. Chris said: No need for new dry wall, they can fix it. And when they finished that room, Wow! the walls looked brand new. They worked here for 6 days and they always arrived on time, prepped all the areas and totally cleaned up every night before leaving. We are in awe of their professional work. We recommend them 1000% and they deserve 10 stars.

“We hired CHJ Painting & Remodeling for a home renovation project, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the results.”
We hired CHJ Painting & Remodeling for a home renovation project, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the results. From start to finish, their team demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, clear communication, and respect for our home and time. After interviewing several groups, we chose CHJ upon meeting Chris and Wojtek. We were also referred to a designer they have been working very closely with for many years, so that was a bonus for our needs and took our project to another level! Their craftsmanship is outstanding—every detail was executed with precision and care, and the quality of their work truly speaks for itself. What really set them apart was their deep knowledge and expertise. They were able to guide us through every step of the process, offering smart solutions and creative input that improved our original vision. Most importantly, they delivered everything right on schedule, which made the experience that much smoother and stress-free. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled, and trustworthy team for your renovation, I highly recommend CHJ Painting & Remodeling. We’ll definitely be using them again in the future!
