Historic Homes Need a Certified Painter.
Wicker Park is one of Chicago's most sought-after neighborhoods — a mix of vintage greystones, coach houses, and renovated 2-flats. The neighborhood's rapid appreciation means homeowners demand precision painting, not cut corners.
Greystones & Coach Houses
Wicker Park's vintage greystones and coach houses have original plaster, high ceilings, and decorative trim that need careful prep. We patch, skim, and prime before any color — never cut corners on a home this valuable.
Pre-1978 Lead-Safe

We provide COI, W-9, and product specs for board approval. We coordinate around elevator reservations, quiet hours, and common-area protection so your building stays happy.

How much does it cost to paint a Wicker Park brownstone interior?
For a typical 3-story brownstone or greystone interior (1,800–2,800 sq ft), expect $8,500–$18,000 depending on scope. Factors: original plaster walls that often need patching, tall 10–12 ft ceilings, historic trim detail, and pre-1978 paint that requires Lead-Safe protocols. We provide itemized estimates per room and per component.
Do I need a permit to paint my Wicker Park home's exterior?
Standard exterior repaints don't require a City of Chicago permit. If your home is within a Chicago Landmark District (Mid-North, Arlington-Deming) or individually landmarked, exterior color/scope changes may need Commission on Chicago Landmarks approval. We help you confirm landmark status before quoting.
Why does EPA Lead-Safe matter for Wicker Park homes?
Most Wicker Park homes were built between 1880 and 1960 — before the 1978 federal ban on lead-based paint. Any sanding, scraping, or disturbance of pre-1978 paint releases lead dust, a known neurotoxin. EPA Lead-Safe Certified contractors (RenewBuild NAT-F308152-1) follow RRP containment, cleanup, and verification protocols. Uncertified painters on pre-1978 homes can trigger EPA fines up to $37,500 per violation.
Do you work with Wicker Park condo associations and HOAs?
Yes. We provide Certificate of Insurance (General Liability + Workers Comp), W-9, scope of work, and product/color specifications for board approval. We coordinate around building quiet hours, elevator reservations, and common-area protection.
How long does an interior paint job take?
A single room: 1–2 days. A whole-floor repaint of a 2–3 bedroom condo: 3–5 days. A full 3-story brownstone or single-family interior: 7–14 days depending on trim detail, ceiling height, and whether cabinets or doors are included. We provide a day-by-day schedule before starting.
