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 SERVICEOver eighty homeowners have left reviews, and the average has barely moved. At the time of our analysis, Dr Paint held over 80 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating, backed by 100% recommended on Facebook. The company also earned a Chooz Score of 86%. The track record runs deeper than the star count. Dr Paint has been in business since 2008 and accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 2017, carries a 2-year limited warranty, and is a registered Illinois business entity. That is the kind of steady, cross-platform consistency the Chooz Score's analysis is built to catch. "They are punctual, always on time, always show up and get the job done beautifully." - George Y., Google Review
Read the reviews and one compliment keeps surfacing. The pricing is fair. Homeowners describe estimates that came in lower than competitors, quotes that matched the final bill, and prices they call reasonable and competitive without anyone prompting them. Michael Wasielewski notes Dr Paint quoted him less than most companies wanted for a single room. Others reach for words like well priced, reasonable, and competitive across dozens of reviews, and nobody complains about surprise charges or upsells. For a trade where sticker shock is common, that consistency stands out. "Scheduling was easy, the price was right, and they did a beautiful job painting our two bedrooms." - Pauline M., Google Review
The owner doesn't just send a crew and disappear. Derek shows up on the job himself, and reviewers name him again and again, checking the work day after day. He answers questions, walks the property, and responds personally to nearly every review the company receives. That hands-on presence is what the Chooz Score's owner engagement indicators reward. The detail work backs it up. On one job during a very cold week, his crew painted a customer's unheated garage without a hitch, alongside water-damage and drywall repairs. The owner is present, the crew is his own, and the work gets checked before anyone leaves. "Derek was on-site checking on the work every day and his guys were just amazing... It was a very cold week but they were able to paint my non heated garage no problem." - Michael W., Google Review
