Cris and his crew were here on time every day until the job was complete. The crew was very focused on details and did a beautiful job. We are very pleased with the work performed, and will definitely contact them again for our future painting needs.

We first hired Chris of CQ Painting after reading good reviews on Angie's List in 2012. We hired Chris for exterior painting which included replacing and painting wooden trim around the windows and doors. Due to the good work initially, I have hired Chris multiple times since, including the skim-coating/painting of two rooms (once to cover up splatter paint decorating and the other to fix another company’s wall paper removal gone bad in our powder room). Most recently, we hired Chris for drywall repair/painting associated with a kitchen/family room refresh; during this project, I learned learned Chris’ company was expanding into other areas and I subsequently hired him for an interior door project and to install several lighting fixtures in our dining room and foyer. Everything turned out beautifully. In all the jobs for which he was hired, Chris and his crew arrived on time, have always been respectful, pay attention to detail, and are great at cleaning up afterward. Due to the above, Chris has become our “go to” guy whenever we have a painting-related project! I would definitely recommend Chris and CQ painting!

So great. Chris came out promptly for an estimate, job was completed in the time frame he proposed...it was about 3 weeks from estimate. Job was done great. Workers were professional, respectful, cleaned up after themselves. I would definitely hire them again!!!

CQ Painting gave a competitive quote, and mobilized on schedule. They managed minor carpentry where siding or trim wood had rotted out, and did a good job of painting and good site clean-up each day and at the end of the job. Chris, the owner, did a final walk-through with us, and took care of the one or two final items that his crew hadn't completed.

That was the second time I used them. It took maybe ten days to complete the work. I think at the most at one time, there were five guys here. They left the area clean. The workers were nice and genuine.

This is the second time I have used CQ, previously he had painted every room on my main floor and did a fantastic job. He is very responsive to calls, came and quoted on the spot and offered a deal while bundling the separate line items together. His crew arrives on time, covers everything works clean and professionally. Chris comes every morning to check on the day's plan and to review with you the work from the previous day to make sure you're satisfied. They are a pleasure to work with, and I will definitely use them again in the future.

The work performed exceeded expectations, the painting was superior and the painters were very responsive and took pride in their work, ensuring no mess was left behind at the end of each day. Price is slightly above average; but you get what you paid for (and more)! I highly recommend CQ Painting and it's owner, Chris.

Chris, the owner, came out to give me an estimate before the work. He was on time, very professional, and knowledgeable about the work. He provided a written estimate for the work to be performed, and his estimate was on the high side of the 4 estimates I received. He was also able to give me an approximate amount for additional wood repair or replacement which I wanted done at the same time. Although I did not negotiate much with him on price because of his excellent reviews and the fact that although his price was the highest, it was still in the ballpark of the other estimates, and Chris was willing to match other service, warranty or additional work offered by the other service providers I received estimates from. The project went well. One to three men showed up on time over a few day period to power wash, scrape, repair or replace wood and prep for the job. They were all polite and professional and cleaned up at the end of each day. Chris was always available by phone or if requested in person to answer any questions. Chris worked with us in picking out the colors, and he is very knowledgeable in all aspects of the painting trade. A few extra items were required to be repaired which were discovered during progress of the job, and which was again handled in stride by Chris' team. The actual painting was again done on time and professionally. 2 to 4 men worked each day until the job was completed. Again the team was polite and professional. The job came out beautiful. I reviewed and inspected at the end of the job for any missed items or other issues and they were all addressed immediately. The final amount paid was as originally agreed to. You can trust this company to do professional work including in affluent areas where the level of service is expected to be done to a high standard. I have been in this house for 15 years and have had it painted every 5 years. This was by far the best job done compared with any of my past painters. I cannot give enough praise or say enough positive things about Chris and CQ painting. I also trust, based on his responsiveness and professionalism, that he will as stated, stand behind his work 100% if necessary. You cannot go wrong with this guy or his company and I will definitely use CQ Painting again.

Chris's team pressure washed the trim and gutters but also, without being asked, did areas of the house siding that had an accumulation of spider webs, dirt and grime. Painting and staining turned out great. Chris and his team cleaned up after themselves each day. They efficiently made use of their time and worked hard on some very hot days. One of Chris's team took care of some gutter problems that I had that I couldn't reach because they were 3 floors up from a walkout basement. They showed up on time each day as promised and Chris clearly communicated any changes as needed. I think Chris and the whole team did a great job.

The provider was very patient with us.  We wanted the provider to re-paint our basement floor (including prepping the old paint for new paint).  The provider recommended a Seal-krete epoxy product that he had used before with good results.  It was supposed to be a one day job. <br /> The morning that the services were to be performed, my wife and I had concerns about the VOCs in the paint.  Seal-krete offered a "low voc" variant of the paint that the provider recommended using; however, it was unavailable at the local stores, and had to be ordered. <br /> The provider came anyways, and prepped the floor (scrape, sand, mop), so that when the low-VOC product came in, he could paint. <br /> The low-VOC paint came in, and the provider came back to our house to coat the floor.  So what was a one day job, became a two day job through no fault of the provider. <br /> Throughout the whole process, the provider was very professional and gracious, and didn't charge us any more (even though he had to come out a second time). <br /> We would work with CQ painting again, and would recommend him to anyone who asked.  We have found his pricing to be very competitive, and the quality of work to be excellant. <br />

Team was excellent and very professional in difficult circumstances; did fantastic job and dealt with a problem that would have made it tough to sell the house. Job did take longer than estimated, but not due to lack of effort or mistakes on their part - just turned into a bigger project than initially thought. Standard prep and painting in other rooms was professional and well done.

It went very well, Chris and his team painted the complete exterior of our two story Dutch Colonial home. Included all siding, Windows and trim. They even removed the gutters and reinstalled them. The complete house was Mad Dog Primed and two coats of Sherwin Williams paint. Outstanding job! After 4 plus years our house still looks freshly painted and beautiful. Chris is a man of his word. He does what he says he will do and makes sure your expectations are met completely. <br />

<p>CQ Painting did an excellent job. They were very meticulous in completing each room. The overall job took 5 days; and approximately 15 gallons of paint, to complete. The 2-man crew thoroughly cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day so the house was livable each night. The estimate that Chris from CQ Painting formulated was substantially less than the other bids we received. We will definitely use them again for our future painting needs. We highly recommend CQ Painting.</p> <br />

Late in the summer we began to contact a few painting contractors to re-paint our home. CQ Painting was close by (we are in Gurnee) and they also had great reviews from Angie's List. Chris (owner) got back to me right away and within 2 days I had an estimate from him. The work was completed on time, and actually ahead of the schedule. They came in a week earlier to power wash the house and wanted get a jump on wrapping up the project because of the likelihood of the colder weather that was just around the corner. Overall, the work went very smooth and his crew was very professional throughout the 2½ days of work. Prices were very good, he honored a 10% Senior citizen discount and also did some clean carpentry repairs to some of the cedar siding to the front bay window area. The repaired areas actually look much better than the original painted wood surfaces. I would be happy to recommend CQ Painting! First class contractor! <br />

We love this guy- Last year, he and his team painted our entire inside of house, including the ceilings. This time, we had granite installed in our kitchen and nobody we checked with would disconnect and reinstall the gas stove top and sink, so we asked Chris to do that as well as various touch ups/caulking in every room of the house. Price was fantastic, as was the quality of the work performed. We're going to have him paint our nasty pickled oak kitchen cabinets next week. Review on that to follow. <br />
