CHJ Painting & Remodeling brings two decades of hands-on project work to Chicago-area homes and commercial spaces, led by owner Chris Juszczyk and a tight-knit crew that includes painters Igor, Vince, and Andre, alongside project partner Wojtek. Customers in neighborhoods from River North to Park Ridge and Niles consistently highlight the team's preparation standards, noting how floors and furniture are covered before work begins and how job sites are left cleaner than they were found each evening.
The company handles interior and exterior residential painting, basement finishing, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, epoxy floor coatings, wallpaper installation and removal, drywall repair, pressure washing, deck staining, and finish carpentry including crown molding and trim installations. Multi-unit condo buildings in downtown Chicago have relied on CHJ and its partner crews for exterior siding, tuckpointing, and brick replacement.
Operating as a licensed, insured, and bonded Illinois corporation (IL Entity No. 67888138) from a base in Niles, the team serves 28 communities across Chicago's north side and north suburbs, including Evanston, Glenview, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Lincolnwood, Morton Grove, Oak Park, Skokie, Wilmette, and Winnetka.
