"I am 100% satisfied with Elite Painting and would recommend them to anyone who is a stickler for details. They made our nearly 50 year old walls look like new. They tweaked the color I selected to make it work in our space which was tricky because of the way light affected the space. I also appreciated their responsiveness to getting the work done within the timeframe I needed. I've hired several painting companies over the years but Elite stands out from the rest for being masters of their craft, professional, and courteous."

Casey Black Painting specializes in interior painting, light carpentry, drywall work, and deck maintenance for the Chicagoland area and most of the surrounding suburbs. We have exacting standards and an attention to detail that comes with over 40 years of painting experience. We are clean, punctual, and very trustworthy. We are fully insured and offer free estimates. We have an extensive reference list that is available upon request.
"I hired Casey and his team to paint my entire condo, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Their professionalism, communication, and attention to detail were outstanding from start to finish. I had my colors picked, but Casey helped refine finishes and suggested ways to simplify color use across rooms. He came out for a free quote within a few days, provided insurance info, and came back later to paint samples on the walls so I could feel confident in my choices. I wasn’t living there yet and chose not to be there so I could be surprised, but Casey sent daily updates. They finished exactly on time, stayed within budget, and even swapped out outlet covers for me. The quality was amazing! Clean lines, smooth finishes, and not a drip anywhere. They actually left the place cleaner than they found it. Casey even matched caulk to different tile and fixed a ton of imperfections in the walls and crown molding. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for great painters."

The drying process for pool deck paint happens in stages, with initial drying allowing light foot traffic after the first day or two. However, complete curing—the point at which the paint reaches its full hardness and durability—takes significantly longer.
Weather conditions play a crucial role, with humidity and temperature affecting drying times. For best results, follow manufacturer guidelines and plan your project during a period of stable, moderate weather to ensure proper curing without interruption.
Painting offers an economical alternative to full replacement when your pool deck remains structurally sound. With painting costs ranging from $3 to $8.50 per square foot versus much higher replacement expenses, refreshing with paint makes financial sense for many homeowners.
Beyond cost savings, painting can dramatically improve appearance, enhance safety with slip-resistant finishes, and extend your deck's useful life. However, if your deck shows significant structural deterioration, investing in replacement might prove more economical long-term.
The ideal painting window occurs during moderate temperature periods with low humidity and minimal chance of precipitation. For most regions, spring and fall provide optimal conditions that allow proper paint application and curing without extreme heat or cold interference. Avoid scheduling during your region's rainy season or periods of high humidity, as moisture significantly impacts paint adhesion and curing. Planning your project during the pool's off-season also minimizes disruption to your swimming schedule.
When selecting between epoxy and acrylic formulations for concrete surfaces, consider durability requirements, application complexity, and budget constraints. Epoxy products, while more expensive at $100 to $200 per gallon, deliver superior chemical resistance and longevity, making them ideal for high-traffic or commercial settings.
Acrylic alternatives offer easier application and quicker drying times, but require more frequent reapplication. Your climate, pool usage patterns, and comfort with application techniques should guide your selection for optimal results.
