"We bought an old house that had walls cracking, green brush did a great job fixing those issues for us to paint, then we looked up and saw the atrocious popcorn ceiling and called Green Brish again. They smoothed, sanded, knocked out an ugly archway, and painted. It was a huge improvement for us, small improvements made a big difference."

"Contacted them to by phone on 7/16/21 at about 9:30 am was told the estimators were busy but was asked to send an email of photo's I had of the problem as well as my contact info and estimator would be in touch. I sent email and received a reply from Billing Mgr at 10:02 am. That is the last I heard from them. Ended up getting work done by another company that actually replied back to me (that same day). With all of the other glowing reviews of this company on Angles list, I'm surprised."

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."

"Amalia and Marco are a pleasure to work with. They came on site to help me develop a plan to repaint my entire 2-bedroom condo. This included the plaster work pre-painting, making the wall surfaces look like new again even after several prior owners had put various indentations in the walls. The MYA Painting and Plastering work was done while I was offsite, so it was really convenient to secure them as a contractor and have my condo organization admit them each day of work. The final product is beautiful. I will definitely rehire them for other jobs."

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

Flat paint has a much shorter life span than other finishes due to the lack of protective gloss. How long flat paint lasts on walls will depend on sun exposure, moisture, temperature variations, how often it is cleaned, and more. While it’s impossible to give an exact number, don’t be surprised if you need to repaint walls with flat paint every few years.

The best time to paint gutters is when the weather forecast predicts clear skies and low humidity. High humidity will likely prolong dry time, and rainy or snowy conditions may ruin your hard work before it can cure. If you have no other option than to work in inclement weather, consider choosing paint with a faster dry time, like acrylic or latex, rather than one that takes a while, like oil paint.

A professional painter will typically prep the walls to ensure a longer-lasting, smoother paint job. Prepping the walls can involve scraping off debris or flaked paint, filling in grooves or nail holes, sanding, cleaning, applying a coat of primer, taping the trim, and removing outlet covers. You should ask your painter before hiring about their process to make sure it’s in line with your expectations and needs.

You should wait for caulk to cure before painting it. Silicone and acrylic latex caulk can take anywhere from one to 10 days to fully cure, and polyurethane may take 10 to 12 days to cure. Always follow the instructions on the label when it comes to painting over caulk because different types require different drying and curing times.   

Priming stucco before painting is not an absolute requirement, but applying a primer coat is recommended. Primer is designed to serve as a strong bonding agent between the stucco surface and the outer paint layers. Using a primer can also help produce even coverage and color for a better-looking final product.
