Fortune Restoration is a full service painting, tuckpointing, and restoration company that serves residential homeowners from Hyde Park to Lincoln Park to Oak Park and River Forest, and the entire North Shore and Western Suburbs. Commercial, industrial and institutional projects are also taken on throughout the Chicagoland area. Additional email - [email protected] Additional contact name - Mr. Bob Fortune, Mr. Tom Fortune.

"Fortune Restoration was amazing to work with. We had them out initially to do much needed carpentry work and painting on the fascia of our home (built in 1894). I wanted a company that would know how to handle the delicate original details on the moldings and these guys did a terrific job. Our wrought iron fence (also original) looked great after they repaired and painted it. Workmen were polite, professional and highly skilled. Some months later a piece of our siding fell off (which had nothing to do with the previous work they did). Knowing there was no way I could get a siding company to come out to do this kind of small job, I called and asked if the next time they were in the area they could give me a quote and do the repair. I received a call from the owner himself, Bob Fortune, who sent a team over to reattach the piece of siding for free for us. The job turned out to be more involved and they actually had to go get supplies come back and fix it. They still did all this still free of charge given that we were previous customers. They went above and beyond. Great customer service. I highly recommend this company and I will for sure be working with them again for any of their services."

High Quality Painting, LLC is a small company dedicated to offering services of paint, drywall,ceramic tile, we firmly believed that EVERYTHING IS FIXABLE. We are confident in the quality of our work, therefore offering warranty on every service provided to you, we guaranty the cleanliness on every step of our work from preparation of the work area to the final step, every day

"I contacted High Quality Painting LLC to repaint my fence after severely neglecting it for many years. Most of the paint was already stripped or peeling away, and had been for years, so there was significant damage to the wood as well. They were very confident about identifying the damaged boards and replacing them as well. When they got started, they found quite a few more damaged boards, and ultimately replaced more than what was quoted at no charge. They also recommended I get the fence stained instead of repainted, which is something I had not considered, and am very glad they pointed me in that direction because I think it will help prevent many of the problems I had in the future and be much easier to maintain. The workers were professional and willing to show up on incredibly hot days in between the rainy days to get the work done. I brought up another issue with the gate of the fence rubbing when opened, and that was also fixed at no charge which I appreciated."

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you’ll need at least two coats of eggshell paint. This is a good rule of thumb to go by if you’re painting a wall or ceiling. Make sure each coat has ample time to dry before you apply the next one.

Use a roller with a high nap to paint into the textured dips and cover the raised sections of your walls without leaving any sections uncovered. After applying paint using the high-nap roller, you use a paintbrush to cover any missed spots. Applying two or three coats of paint using this method should provide plenty of coverage.

While no-VOC paints don’t contain the chemical compounds that are toxic when they’re outgassed, they can still have an odor. This is because odors can come from other chemicals in the paint that aren’t classified as VOCs. Again, ventilation is key, especially if you plan to sleep in the room on the same day as you paint.

Yes, washable bathroom paint is widely available. Manufacturers specially formulate washable bathroom paint to resist damage from frequent cleaning and scrubbing, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like bathrooms. This type of paint generally comes with a semi-gloss or satin finish that you can easily wipe clean with a damp cloth. Additionally, because washable paint has more binding agents than regular paint, it tends to be more durable and lasts longer after application.

Most painters charge by the square footage of the project rather than an hourly rate. However, painters who do charge by the hour typically charge $20 to $60 per hour for a standard job. More complex or physically demanding jobs may be able to go for $100 per hour in labor costs.
