If you are looking for Interior Painting on Ceilings, Walls, and Trim for an entire house, or even 3 to 4 rooms, Matt of ProVision Painting has not just run his own company for 30 years, he also is a Color Consultant and Certified Stager. He focuses on proper drywall prep and using quality Benjamin Moore Products. He is a graduate of The American Academy of Art of Chicago and has always had a passion for art. He specializes in Interior Decor and color matching and can turn your home into an artistic masterpiece. Award winning. ProVision.

"Matt and his team are the ultimate professionals. Matt spent hours with us recommending color choices for our living room, kitchen, main bathroom, hallway, master bedroom/bathroom and family room. His color consultation and choice of colors for the various rooms in our house was priceless. He mixed a custom color for the wall behind our bar. This took about 10 different formululations and turned out perfect. Our master bedroom had textured paint and ceilings that needed to be scraped/sanded down. Multiple coats of joint compound were applied to smooth out the walls. The team did a wonderful job and the walls turned out beautiful. He returned after we had carpeting installed in our master bedroom and touched up all of the marks from the installers. He went over our house with a fine tooth comb after the painting was completed and any imperfections that were found were fixed immediately. We highly recommend Matt and his team. We would absolutely hire again."

Since 1984, my office has been located @ 3731 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60613. I personally prepare all appraisal reports. I hold the highest-level Illinois General Real Estate Appraiser's License #553. Since 1973, I have appraised all types of real estate located within the City of Chicago and Chicago's suburbs. I now currently focus on the appraisal of Single-family Residences, Condominiums, Townhouses, 2-to-4-unit Apartments, Larger 5 to 60+-unit Multi-family Apartments and Mixed-Use commercial and apartment properties. Typical appraisal assignments include reports for: 1) Estates, 2) Property Tax Assessment Appeals, 3) Bankruptcy, 4) Divorce, and the 4) Possible Sale or Purchase of Real Estate. (If requested at no additional charge, in addition to the written Appraisal Report, a PDF of similar "Active Listings" will also be provided empowering you to have a quick overview of the current asking prices for similar properties presently Listed For-Sale in your local market.)

"I was very happy with my experience with this company and the way that they handled my situation. There were some unusual issues with this appraisal that made it more complicated than the usual. It was handled professionally and in a very efficient manner and I was very pleased with how friendly and knowledgeable Don was and how he put me at ease and offered me much more advice than just the appraisal required! He is a great guy and I appreciate his expertise and his willingness to help me in the short amount of time that I had to get this done ! I would recommend him without any hesitation!"

Offering Home inspection, mold testing and real estate representative services. Quality, not cost should be your biggest concern when shopping for a home inspector, if you are looking for the cheapest then you may be disappointed with us. If you are looking a thorough inspector, who has your best interests as our main concern then give us a call. We don’t rush through your inspection to get to the next one like some of our competitors will. We are an independent licensed home inspection provider, which means you can guarantee a 100% honest and thorough inspection. We have you, the buyer's, best interests at hand and you can count on us to not over look items or include confusing language to “sugar coat” even the most petty findings. As a buyer you should be prepared and understand that every inspection performed will have deficiencies found, and no house will be perfect. But it is our duty as home inspectors to make you aware of ALL of the findings. We will categorize the deficiencies found but will let you decide what is your biggest concern. We have several companies that can provide radon or mold testing if necessary, both of which we use and trust. We offer home inspection services 7 days a week by appointment only. Please have a look in the photo gallery for sample screen shots of portions of our reports. We accept cash, Chase Quickpay, PayPal, credit cards (2.75% service charge) and personal checks, payment is due at the time of the inspection.

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area. 

Yes, a well-built fence can increase your home value as it improves your property’s curb appeal and also provides enhanced security. Online studies show that fences have a 50% recovery rate, meaning investing $10,000 in a new fence can potentially increase your property value by $5,000 in the end. The number may fluctuate depending on the quality, material, and design of your fence.

An estimate is more informal than a quote. Estimates are based on the contractor's prior experience, and they are expected to be off by 10% to 15% of the actual project cost and timeline. Quotes are more formal and require far more detailed information outlining the scope and cost of the project, including a thorough inspection of the area where the contractor will work. This is because the quote is expected to become a binding contract while an estimate does not have this expectation.

Ensure the property is clean, provide access to all areas, and supply relevant documents, such as recent upgrades or tax records.

Yes, it could be worth buying and remodeling an old house. You can potentially purchase an older house for a lower price than a newer house. With less of an upfront investment, you can devote more of your budget to the remodeling work. If you’re thinking of remodeling an old house and then reselling it—called house flipping—focus on projects that deliver the best ROI for home improvements.
