About Viking Interior and Exterior Design
A fresh coat of paint fails fast when the surface under it was never prepared, and that is the problem Viking Interior and Exterior Design sets out to prevent. Walls are filled, patched, and sanded smooth before any color is applied, and decks and fences are washed free of mold and algae, then sanded, before stain or paint goes on.
The work spans interior rooms from a single bedroom to a whole house, along with cabinet refinishing, trim, ceilings, and drywall repair when a wall needs mending first. Outside, the crew paints siding, doors, gutters, fences, and decks, and refreshes furniture and specialty finishes. Martin runs each job himself and keeps homeowners informed from the first walkthrough to the final coat.
Clients across Chicago and its surrounding suburbs describe work that is prompt, tidy, and finished once they are satisfied. Every project is backed by a guarantee, and a Free Estimate lets a homeowner weigh scope and cost before committing. When a spot needs a touch up, Martin stands behind the result and makes it right.
