I had several issues with previous painters who did a very bad interior lime wash job, Lime Wash Chicago came in and fixed all my problems. They are skilled and know what they are doing. Matt is very compassionate and caring about his clientele and he is reasonable. You will get many people to take advantage of your situation, but he does not. He is very fair, reasonable, and does a good job.

“We had a great experience working with Lime Painting and Matt Owens.”

We had a great experience working with Lime Painting and Matt Owens. Matt was extremely easy to communicate with and flexible in helping us scope the right services and details for our painting project, making the quoting and planning process very straightforward. We were out of town during the work, and Matt and his team were completely trustworthy, providing clear virtual updates and managing the project seamlessly. The work was finished ahead of schedule with excellent quality, and we were so happy with the results that we hired Lime Painting again to paint another part of our condo. Highly recommend.

I've hired Matt now for two separate projects and he is hands down the best contractor I've hired. He does quality work in the time frame within the quoted price. I will continue to use him for all our painting, cabinet refurbishing needs.

We had our exterior windows scraped, sealed and repainted. The old paint was lead-based and we were happy to find a lead certified company to do the work. Everything went well and the job was completed quickly.

“We had a great experience with the people at LIME Painting.”

We had a great experience with the people at LIME Painting. Owner, Matt is easy to deal with, responsive, and fair. He ensured that our job was done well and on time. His crew was professional, and so skilled in patching, painting, carpentry, and refinishing. They kept our place impeccably clean after each work day. We had a challenging job, including refinishing several warped window ledges and a worn spiral staircase. Transforming our entire second floor in less than a week, our place now dazzles! We are very pleased with their stellar work. Thank you, LIME Painting!

Matt and his team painted my whole house before I moved in and then came back to touch up areas damaged by movers. I love the paint job, colors and friendly people. Would recommend Lime Painting of Chicago and would call them back if I needed more work done. I am a very satisfied customer.

“This company is absolutely fantastic.”

This company is absolutely fantastic. I'm glad I found them! I received estimates from 3 other companies for my water disaster I had in my house. Basically we had a failure of an old iron pipe system on the 2nd floor and it rained down water through the house to the basement. It ruined all ceilings and walls on the way down. Everyone gave me an estimate and what they would do to fix the walls and ceilings that the plumbers ripped out to fix the situation. All estimates were a laundry list and a price. Not Lime painting. And yes they are not just painting! Matt took pictures and gave me a pdf report with pictures and a full description of what would be done in every area. The estimate was great. I also had them do some extra plaster work and paint above and beyond the water damage. Everything turned out perfect and you would never know there was damage. Thank you all for a great job!

We had an original 1910 door that needed some serious TLC, but we were hesitant to touch it for fear of damaging its character. After careful research, we found Lime Painting—and we’re so glad we did. Matt, the owner, was incredibly responsive and attentive throughout the process. John provided exceptional customer service, and Edwin’s craftsmanship was truly stunning. From perfectly matching the stain to the meticulous restoration, every detail was handled with care and expertise. If you’re looking for specialty work that honors the integrity of historic pieces, I highly recommend Lime Painting. They exceeded our expectations.
