Big League Painting serves homeowners and businesses across the Chicago North Shore from their Glenview base, delivering interior and exterior painting built on thorough preparation and clean execution. Owner Patrick Corlaciu and his project managers walk every job site before work begins, flagging wood rot, plaster cracks, and surface issues that other contractors miss. The crew sands, primes, and caulks until surfaces are smooth before any color goes on.
The team handles cabinet refinishing, deck staining, brick painting, limewash finishes, popcorn ceiling removal, drywall repair, and light carpentry under one roof. A dedicated project manager sends daily progress updates, coordinates schedules around tight move-in deadlines, and conducts a final walkthrough with the homeowner before closing out each job.
Big League Painting is a BBB Accredited business with an A+ rating, backed by a 3-year warranty on completed work. The company uses Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore products and offers complimentary color consultations to help clients match paint choices to their lighting and style. Financing options are available for larger projects through an easy monthly payment program.
