About Nawkaw Inc.
Nawkaw brings color to brick, block, stucco, and concrete by staining masonry instead of coating it with ordinary paint. Homeowners and property managers around Hanover Park and surrounding Chicago suburbs turn to the company when they want to change the look of a wall, a facade, or a foundation while keeping the natural texture underneath.
Every project starts with color. Nawkaw offers a Free Consultation and works through custom color matching, on-surface samples, and paint sampling before any full application begins, so a client can see a shade in place and approve it first. Interior rooms, ceilings, trim, and doors get handled alongside exterior facades, front doors, garage doors, and gutters.
The work stretches from single-family homes to commercial buildings, property management portfolios, and HOA communities, and it reaches into historic restoration and faux and metallic finishes when a project asks for more than a plain color. Surface preparation comes first, because a stain only holds when the masonry beneath it is clean and sound. Each weekday, the Hanover Park team plans, samples, and applies across the Chicago area.

Additional Questions Answered
What kind of masonry work does Nawkaw handle for brick and concrete?
Nawkaw stains brick and concrete instead of painting over them, shifting the color of masonry while keeping its texture and grain. The company handles both interior and exterior projects across residential and commercial properties, including property management and HOA work. One Google reviewer, Eduardo Madrigal, described his project plainly as "Brick and concrete stain". Color consultation and custom color matching guide each job from the first sample to the finished surface.
How does Nawkaw approach color choices before staining a masonry surface?
Color comes first on every Nawkaw project. The company provides a free consultation, custom color matching, physical samples, and paint sampling so a client can judge a shade on the actual surface before a full application starts. That process covers interior rooms, ceilings, trim, and doors as well as exterior facades, front doors, garage doors, and gutters. Historic restoration and faux and metallic finishes are available when a project needs them.
