About Pro 1 Painting Corp.
Pro 1 Painting is a family-owned painting team that has cared for homes and businesses across Chicago’s North Shore and the surrounding suburbs for years. Work begins the way homeowners hope it will, with a clear conversation and a straightforward estimate, and the crew led by Jose keeps that communication going from the first call through the final walkthrough.
Preparation is where the difference shows. The team cleans and smooths walls and ceilings before any color goes on, protects the space around them, and leaves each room tidy once the last coat has dried. That care carries across interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, deck and fence staining, drywall repair, and pressure washing.
Homeowners tend to mention the same things afterward, reliable scheduling, fair pricing, and results that hold up. Anyone weighing a project can start with Online Estimates and a visit that fits a busy week. Pro 1 Painting treats every home, large or small, with the same steady attention.

Additional Questions Answered
What kinds of painting projects does Pro 1 Painting handle for homeowners?
Pro 1 Painting handles interior and exterior house painting along with cabinet refinishing, deck and fence staining, drywall repair, and pressure washing. Amanda Fieldhouse hired the crew for both interior and exterior work and wrote that "Jose’s crew provided skilled, meticulous work with the attention to detail I was looking for". The team takes on projects large and small across the North Shore and nearby suburbs.
How does Pro 1 Painting keep customers informed during a project?
Communication stays front and center from the first call to the final coat. Julie Rancourt pointed to "Top notch communication and workmanship" and said she would hire the team again. The crew led by Jose returns calls, explains each step, and keeps homeowners in the loop, so there are no surprises between the estimate and the finished room.
Does Pro 1 Painting prepare surfaces carefully before starting interior work?
Yes, preparation comes before any color goes on the walls. When Stephane Sacherer had a bedroom repainted, he wrote that the team "have done a great work preparing the walls and ceiling" and "left the room spotless". That habit of cleaning, smoothing, and protecting a space shows up on interior jobs of every size, and it is a big reason rooms end up looking new.
Is Pro 1 Painting reliable with scheduling and fair on pricing?
Yes, on both counts. Georgy Egorov described the work as "High quality, reasonably priced, and on time as agreed" and added that Jose stayed "consistently responsive and reliable". Homeowners across the North Shore point to dependable scheduling and honest quotes, which makes it easier to plan a project around a busy household. The team aims to finish when promised and price the work fairly.
What is the process like from estimate to finished job with Pro 1 Painting?
The process runs from a first phone call through an on-site estimate to a completed job, with steady contact the whole way. Daniel Yonan walked through exactly that arc, from "my initial call, to the on-site estimate, and through job completion", and noted the team was "always available for any inquiries". As a family-owned local business, Pro 1 Painting keeps homeowners informed from start to finish.
Is Pro 1 Painting an established business entity in Illinois?
Yes. The company is organized as Pro 1 Painting Corp., an Illinois business corporation, and it operates from Lake Bluff in Lake County. That corporate standing sits behind the Pro 1 Painting name that North Shore homeowners see on trucks, estimates, and reviews. The business is registered with the state, and its entity record is on file with the Illinois Secretary of State.
