TL Painting is a family owned and operated company serving Joliet, Shorewood, and communities within a 45 minute radius across the southwest suburbs. The team has built its reputation on cabinet painting and refinishing, interior painting, and drywall repair, with owner Tyler Libersher leading named crew members like Zac, Evan, Jorge, and Kevin whom customers mention again and again.
What sets the company apart is a free color consultation with a local Sherwin-Williams designer, a meticulous multi step cabinet process that takes worn oak to a factory fresh finish, and a habit of protecting floors and furniture before any work begins. Reviewers describe whole home projects, kitchen transformations, woodwork and trim, ceiling repairs, and stain refresh work handled with the same care.
Operating from 221 Airport Dr and insured, TL Painting has earned an A plus rating and accreditation from the Better Business Bureau as well as repeat back to back local best awards. The crew returns to fix any imperfection and treats every painting customer like family.
