Excellence Painting

I had called another place before the end of the year and when the person got back to me I was told they could not get to my job until beginning of February, so I found the good reviews for Excellence Painting and gave the company a call–
I called the company and was told to email my information and something would be set up–
Eduardo Vega came as confirmed via our email conversation to take a look at my studio and give me a quote–
I had attempted to paint a couple walls with a semi gloss, so I had a mess on my hands once I decided I couldn’t go through with doing a second coat, too glossy and showed every roller/​paint brush mark applied to the wall!
I was shocked when Mr. Vega provided me the quote within an hour and was able to actually start the next day!
I live in a studio so not huge but I have some high ceilings, he was able to get everything done under 7 hours–
Very professional, genuine and left no mess behind-​My walls are now a uniformed matte color, no more generic apartment white walls–
I highly recommend Mr. Vega for any painting needs-​He is skilled, knows what is needed and pleasant to converse with–

We recently had our condo in river north painted before the new tenant moved in. Gerardo stopped by the unit to give us a quote and scheduled the job a few days later. Other painters had a 2 month backlog or never replied to my initial quote request. Gerardo was fast, courteous, and very professional.

He ditched my appointment. But called me back after an hour and want to reschedule it :-/

Had my 2 bed 1 bath complete apartment repainted from trim to ceiling. And all I can say is WOW! Other than being extremely affordable the recommended finishes were spot on for the look I was going for. Also the place was spotless and the crew made sure items were carefully moved or completely wrapped and protected in plastic. The lead in the crew was also very informative as well as stylishly creative. He had a few tweaks to color and accent walls in certain areas that I’m very pleased with. Overall great experience I will be working with this company again in the near future.

I wanted some rooms in my apartment painted. I was provided me with a fair price and was able to get a few dates that worked within my hectic schedule. I absolutely love my freshly painted bedroom and bathroom! They completely changed the look of my place. I will definitely be using this company again once I decide on the colors that I want my living room, entryway and kitchen painted!

Gerardo and his team painted our front porch and replaced drywall and repainted in our basement. The work was completed quickly and was very well done. Gerardo is a very nice honest person.

I was selling my condo and needed certain areas around my condo painted for fresh look. I got two estimates, one from Excellence who was extremely responsive and came out in couple of days to understand my goal and gave me quote within a day. The other painting service, MWW was not as responsive and gave me estimate nearly 2x what excellence quoted me.
Easy choice. I was in a rush to put my place on the market and Excellence, while extremely busy with other projects, was able accommodate my timeline which I greatly appreciated. They did an amazing job with the painting and got done in two days. The place looks brand new, but not only that, they left the place looking spotless! No paint splatter or any mess! Also, the owner is very nice, cares about the environment and very trustworthy. This is very important to me as I hate having people I don’t know or trust in my house.
I would recommend Excellence in a heartbeat!

My wife and I were in a bad spot when our previous painter no-​showed us for the third time as we were preparing to put our home on the market. We had to finish the work that day and had few options. My wife contacted Gerardo and he dropped everything to come over right away (literally jumped off his couch to get there). He is absolutely professionally prepared and the workmanship is great. He was able to accomplish everything with the timeline given (which was just a couple hours) and charged far less than what previous painters have. We would certainly use him again and recommend him highly.

We first used Gerardo to sand and stain our floors. The result was beautiful and flawless.
We also needed our entire house painted. After first hiring painters off of Craigslist, we quickly discovered this was a bad decision. We called Gerardo to come to the rescue and he ended up saving the paint job. Martin and Denise showed up on a holiday to fix all of the mistakes and finish the job. They were superb, pleasant, and extremely helpful.
I appreciated the affordability and honesty. Gerardo gave us a quote for the entire job and stuck to it with no surprises. I can’t recommend his services enough.

Gerardo did an excellent job on our town home. He went above and beyond, patching holes and painted the ceilings and molding to make sure it looked perfect. I highly recommend him.

Gerardo and his crew did a great job painting our whole place.
I called monday, he came out tuesday and gave us a quote. two days later they were hard at work, they did everything as we discussed and the whole crew was great.

I have to admit, I know nothing about flipping a home. But, I decided it was a good investment and went for it. Gerardo has been a wonderful partner. His work is quality, and very reasonably priced. For me, he has done everything from remove layers of grime and paint to installing new hardwood floors at half the price as the quote from Home Depot. Most of all, he cares. He came back to patch part of my wall and would not let me pay him because he just «wanted it done right.» Further, he is great over email and comes quickly. I strongly recommend him for anyone who does not know what they are doing and does not want to be taken to the cleaners by other providers.

My wife and I recently purchased a condo in the west loop and were looking to have our concrete ceilings painted. After searching and meeting with a handful of contractors, we came across Gerardo on Unilocal.He came in the same day to provide an estimate which was extremely competitive compared to others we’ve met with.
Gerardo and his team were available the same week to get started. A project that others said would take 2 – 3 days was completed successfully by Gerardo in a day and a half. The quality was awesome. In fact, we ended up asking Gerardo to paint one of our bedrooms for us while he was there (also very reasonably priced). The team takes very good care of your space ensuring the area is protected as their painting and is respectful to clean up properly at the end of the day.
In addition to the great work and speed at which the job was completed, what we appreciated the most from Gerardo was how professional and humble he was. It’s very difficult to find people out there like this and I will say I was very impressed with Gerardo’s overall character.
I would highly recommend Gerardo and his team to any of my friends and family that have painting projects they need him to tackle. Outstanding job and outstanding team!

I had a bedroom and bathroom that needed painting. I searched through some Unilocal reviews and found a couple of 5-​stars businesses. I called/​emailed one, no response. I emailed Gerardo — and got an email back from him that day. He came by the next morning to estimate the job. I had emailed a third place — and 5 days later, they emailed me back, saying they would call to set up an estimate time. That was another 3 days. By that time Gerardo had already given me an estimate and a day that he could do the job. I told the other guy he was only 8 days too late, and I’m glad I hired Gerardo. He showed up 10 minutes early on the day of the job, finished the job in a timely fashion, and was gone without a problem. The rooms look great.
And he was a nice guy all the way through.

Gerardo was great! I found him on Unilocal and sent an email inquiry. He responded promptly, asked questions about the project and got me a quote ASAP. We negotiated the price a little and I was VERY happy with the price we agreed to. He was easy to schedule with and confirmed the day before the appointment.
He arrived on time and even brought me a cup of Starbucks coffee! He was professional, quiet, worked hard and finished in much less time than either of us anticipated. He cleaned up nicely after himself.
I would totally recommend him and I will personally use him again myself.

After spending countless hours, dollars, and trips to Home Depot trying to fix some damaged drywall in my bathroom ceiling without any success, I finally decided to call a professional. None of my friends could provide the name of a reliable contractor /​painter, so I decided to turn to Unilocal.I called two businesses on Unilocal that service my area, one of which was Excellence Painting.
Gerardo was able to come out the very same day to take a look at my bathroom and provide me with a reasonable estimate. He also arrived a few minutes early, a plus in my book. He suggested a professional grade paint which he was able to obtain for the job and offered an earlier date than I had expected to complete the job.
He gave me an estimate on a Monday and came by Friday to work on the bathroom. He was able to fix my botched drywall job and paint the whole bathroom (a large master bathroom) in less than 3 hours. The paint he had suggested was great and had NO fumes. I know, hard to believe. There’s no evidence of my handiwork and the bathroom looks as good as new.
Wish I had called Gerardo sooner as I would’ve saved a lot of time and money. Oh and FYI, the second company I called still hasn’t returned my phone call…

Well, I just called Excellence Painting and rather than finish our conversation (we were scheduling appointment for him to look at my home to give an estimate), he just hung up on me. Weird.
He did say he prefers e-​mail. Unfortunately, e-​mail is not too much of my thing.

I found Gerardo on Unilocal.We needed someone to paint our Pilates Studio. He returned my email right away and was able to stop by the location and give me an estimate the same day. He was very knowledgable about the different types of paint and what would be best for different rooms. The pricing was good and he finished the job in a very short amount of time. The studio looks beautiful and we couldn’t be happier! Also, Gerardo himself is a very nice person and a pleasure to do business with. Highly recommended.

Gerardo is outstanding. He is very professional and extremely pleasant to work with.
I had a small drywall repair job that was the result of a leak from my refrigerator. He repaired the drywall and painted the area and it looks great! His quote was less than half of some of the other quotes I had obtained.
Gerardo always gets back to you and is always attentive to his clients.
I found Gerardo through Unilocal and all of the positive reviews are an accurate description of his business.
He is very dependable and trustworthy. I will definitely be recommending him to my friends and family!

I found Gerardo on Unilocal this past weekend after I completely botched a DIY paint job in my kitchen. He responded to my request for more information very quickly (the other companies I called still haven’t returned my calls yet — three days later). He was prepared, professional and affordable. The whole job took a few hours and he even helped me fix a few spots on the walls we hadn’t previously talked about. He is a nice person and I would recommend his painting services to anyone without hesitation.
