"We used Five Star Painting for our stairs and we could not be happier with the finished product. Esvin was wonderful to work with along with his team. They were punctual every day and very professional. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing a paint job!"

"Angel and his crew stained my cedar fence June 2024. The job looked great a year later except for the gate for some reason. I called Angel and he came back and stained the gate again at no charge. It looks fantastic. I highly recommend this company for fence staining because they stand behind their work and do a good job. They also communicate very well with updates as to their arrival to do a job."

When I started to practice this job. I didn’t realize the help I was giving to our boss and to the home or apartment that we were working on. To know that one day someone was going to go live there. Know every time I help a costumer I do realize that with my hard work I can achieve making somebody happy. That’s my goal in life.

"We retained Elite Finishes for the painting of our entire first floor and two rooms on the second floor. Prior to painting, we replaced all trim and added wood feature walls, new balusters, a large fireplace mantle, and hallway lockers. Chad provided a comprehensive estimate and timeline for completion of the work. He was very responsive and available to answer our questions. Throughout the entire process, Chad was just a text or phone call away, often responding immediately or within a few hours. Due to circumstances beyond his control, Chad and his team (Jon) got started slightly later than planned, but it worked out in such a way that the team could complete large chunks of the work all at one time. Chad and Jon did an amazing job - the lines are clean and crisp, the new trim and millwork have no brush or roller lines, the ceiling is flawless, and walls are patched perfectly. We could not be happier with the quality of the work. We also relied on the team to provide input on our color selections and correct sheens for the various areas in our home. The work took roughly 3 weeks. The team was punctual, friendly, contentious and cleaned up all areas every day they were here. By the time the job was finished, Chad and Jon were like part of the family."

"Progresive Restoration did a great job on our condo building. Marcus and his team are extremely hard-working and communicate often. There was never any confusion about our project and they paid attention to every detail from when they started on the estimate to completing the job. Overall great experience working with Progressive Restoration."

"David gave me what I thought was a fair price for the work to be done. He asked for 1/2 up front. As a previous small business owner I did not feel this was unreasonable so I paid him 500.00. He estimated the work would take 3 to four days and I thought the same. After several no shows the "mason" showed up. The first clue was he came in a car. According to my wife he was here 2 hours and left, came back for another 2 hours the next day and left again. He said nothing to my wife about leaving or when he would be back. David called a day later to ask about coming out to look over the job and get the rest of the other 500.00. I said he isn't finished and he's only been here 4 hours. So then I looked up the prevailing wage in IL for a mason and found out it is 28.50 an hour. The next day the guy comes back for another 3 hours. David came to look at the work and I walked him around and showed him all of the places that had not been done. So the guy comes back again for about an hour. All told it was 8 hours work, nothing to write home about but it was agreed up front that I wasn't looking for an exposed brick look. I need it tuck pointed well enough so that I could drylock and paint the exposed brick. I will say this was done in the end. The worker left a mess that I and my wife had to clean up, I pointed this out to David as well. I told him I felt he was overly paid for the amount of work preformed and that was the end of it. It's really to bad. It's difficult to get contractors to do small jobs and I had plenty for him to do. I'm not unhappy, just would not hire again"

"It was a pleasure to have Pepe and his team come paint for us. They were reliable and professional and priced competitively. They also took great care in protecting our floors and furniture from any paint drips. We are very particular about the quality of work done with clean lines and attention to detail and Pepe is the same way!!! In addition to the great work they did they also were very helpful as it took me some time to pick out the perfect color for our home. I will definitely have Pepe to our house again for more work very soon."

"I needed to paint a bathroom and also 2 rooms witch was handled awesomely!! I was very impressed with the panting crew. Very professional, great demeanor. Wonderful quality of workmanship. I would highly recommend the service. I most certainly plan to use them again."
