What separates Red Sky from a lot of painters is what happens after the crew packs up. Completed work comes with a two-year written warranty, and exterior metal jobs are guaranteed against rust for the same two years. That's a real program, not a handshake. The company carries full liability insurance up to $2 million and provides certificates on request, and it holds EPA Lead-Safe certification for work on older homes. It operates as a registered Illinois business, entity No. 12030231. The paperwork is there and current. "Dominick at Red Sky was the most reasonable by far. They did quality work and guaranteed against rust for two years." - Paul S., Google Review
If you're the type who reads every review before hiring anyone, Red Sky gives you plenty to go on. The last time we ran our Chooz Score analysis, the company held a 4.9-star rating across over 60 Google reviews, 4.8 stars on Yelp from more than 100 reviews, and 4.8 stars on Angi from more than 200 reviews. The Chooz Score's cross-platform analysis looks for exactly this, the same high rating holding up whether customers found the company on Google, Yelp, or Angi. Add an overall Chooz Score of 87.1% and a service map that runs from Park Ridge through Evanston, Wilmette, and Winnetka, and the picture stays consistent. "When looking to hire a painter, it can be hard to find someone that you trust, is highly skilled, has flexibility in their schedule, and is a good value. We were lucky enough to find Red Sky Painting." - Kristen P., Google Review
Some of these customers go back years. One reviewer has had Dominik paint four separate projects, from metal stairs to interiors to exteriors. Another has used the crew since 2022 across two different houses. A third just wrapped their third project. Taken together, the repeat mentions form a clear pattern. People don't try Red Sky once, they hand them the next job, and the one after that. The Chooz Score's customer retention indicators land in the top band, with repeat business showing up in about a fifth of the reviews we analyzed, a strong sign the work holds up over time. "Dominic and the crew have been painting our home since 2022 - 2 houses now and multiple jobs! They have a lot of experience, attention to detail, and are very efficient." - Katelyn M., Google Review
Nearly all of Red Sky's reviews are glowing, but one customer felt an exterior job got squeezed into poor conditions, and paint from an overhead metal roof dripped onto the decking and railings below when it rained. The owner replied and offered to inspect and make it right, though the customer's concern about the stained railings was not confirmed as resolved. It is a fair thing to raise up front. Ask them directly: "If rain or cold is in the forecast, how do you decide whether to paint, and what is the plan if weather affects the finish?" "When it rained, white paint dripped onto the composite decking and wooden railings. I feel like they rushed my job and tried to fit it in in bad weather." - Chris D., Google Review

Get StartedFREE SERVICERead through the reviews and the same thing keeps happening. People don't hire Bill Schneeberger once. Katelyn Switzer brought the crew in for interior painting and moisture repair, then hired them back a few weeks later for her kitchen cabinets. Chris White has used them twice for exterior work and staining, and he's now moving on to interior projects. Todd Novak's family has gone back several times and is already planning a basement refresh, and Cal Isaacson has worked with Roy on two separate occasions covering most of his home. That loyalty is exactly what the Chooz Score's customer retention indicators pick up, with reviewers describing returns for second, third, and fourth projects, sometimes years apart. "They did such a great job and met our timeline so we hired them back just a few weeks later to also do our kitchen cabinets; they did another beautiful job." - Katelyn S., Google Review
Family owned since 1974. Fifty years on, still a clean five stars. The last time we ran our Chooz Score analysis, Bill Schneeberger held over 50 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating, and the praise carried across platforms with 5.0 stars on Yelp across over 25 reviews. The company earned a Chooz Score of 83.2%. A family owned and operated business since 1974 and a registered Illinois business entity, it lines up cleanly across every platform we checked, which is the kind of consistency the Chooz Score's cross-platform analysis is built to reward. "Incredible job. This company really rocks!" - Tom F., Google Review
Roy and Carlos get called out by name again and again. Read enough of these reviews and you start to recognize the crew. Roy Schneeberger shows up over and over, quoting jobs, running the work, and taking on the trickiest details himself. Carlos is the on-site contact customers name directly, the one who circled back for last-minute touch-ups after a carpet install left some damage. Because the same in-house team returns job after job, people ask for them by name. The detail work is where it shows. On one project Roy hung expensive patterned wallpaper in a powder room, working around sharp corners, a pedestal sink, and fixed wall mountings so the pattern lined up seamlessly from sheet to sheet. On another, the team painted the home theater's speaker covers to match the wall color exactly. "Roy did a magnificent job applying expensive patterned wallpaper in our powder room. This was a highly technical task involving sharp corners, a pedestal sink, and various wall mountings." - Michael B., Google Review
