A decade of Chicago walls before RenewBuild
Before founding RenewBuild Painting, Ramon spent over ten years working as a painter across Chicago — from brownstones in Lincoln Park to vintage kitchens in Oak Park and commercial spaces in the Loop. Those years taught him something most contractors never learn: the difference between painting a wall and transforming a home.
In 2024, Ramon launched RenewBuild Painting with a clear mission — build a team that treats every Chicago home with the same care he'd give his own. No shortcuts, no surprise upcharges, no disappearing contractors. Just premium craftsmanship, honest timelines, and the kind of reliability Chicago homeowners deserve.
As a bilingual founder, Ramon personally oversees every estimate, walks every job site, and meets every homeowner before work begins. That's not marketing copy — it's how the company runs.
"I've never compromised on quality. And I never will. Every coat, every trim, every finish — that's my name going on that wall." — Ramon Medina, Founder
