A&A Painting, Inc brings over two decades of hands-on experience to residential and commercial projects across Kane, DeKalb, and DuPage counties. Founded in 2000 by Eric Rakunas, the company grew from a two-person operation into a team of ten skilled professionals who treat every home as if it were their own. Co-owner Matt Mason, a nine-year United States Marine Corps veteran, joined in 2019 and now manages day-to-day operations alongside a roster of long-term, in-house crew members including Carlos, Juan, Eddie, Mike, Derek, Rick, Steve, and Gil.
The team handles interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, deck and fence staining, drywall repair, pressure washing, and light construction throughout the Fox Valley and Tri-City area. Premium Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore products anchor every project, paired with free color consultations and a detailed walkthrough before work begins. A one-year workmanship warranty and a satisfaction guarantee back each completed job. With 357 five-star Google reviews and a consistent reputation for clear communication, on-time scheduling, and thorough cleanup, the company continues to serve neighbors in Saint Charles, Geneva, Batavia, South Elgin, North Aurora, Campton Hills, Wayne, Elburn, Naperville, and the surrounding suburbs.

Customers consistently describe long-term employees who return for repeat projects and know the company standards. Robert Miscovich requested the same crew leader from the previous year and was paired with Juan again, noting both Juan and David were "courteous, professional and respectful of our property." Lori Chassee on Facebook praised technician Derek across "several major projects," calling the staff "quality people." The continuity means each painter understands the prep, product, and cleanup expectations without re-training on every job.

The team combines painting expertise with light construction and carpentry capability. Christina Berru hired A&A to paint trim on her vintage St. Charles home and the crew "replaced rotting facia boards, primed and painted the trim and then installed the new shutters" as part of the same project. Brad Roberts noted Carlos and his crew "had to handle a lot more deck repairs than anticipated" and still delivered a result that made "the house and deck look like new." This ability to pivot from painting into repair work keeps projects moving without needing a separate contractor.

The company promises daily updates and a dedicated project manager for each job. Annie Clemente described site manager Mike as someone who "kept us informed every step of the way to insure we were happy with the transformation." Jake Brolsma on Facebook noted Matt was "meticulously detailed about all phases of the project" during the initial scope consultation. The website reinforces this with a published commitment to transparent communication and a final inspection walkthrough before project close.

Several reviewers have returned for second or third engagements. Robert Miscovich wrote that "after our superior experience with A&A Painting last year we knew there wasn't another company we wanted in our home." Lori Chassee used A&A for "several major projects" and called the quality "exceptional." Brian Z. on Yelp reported using A&A on "two projects" and found the attention to detail "top notch" both times. The pattern suggests quality does not drop between engagements.

The company dedicates a full service page to cabinet refinishing and lists it as a core specialty. Steve and Gil were praised for "a great job painting our bathroom vanity cabinets and walls" with reviewers noting their precision. The GBP services list includes cabinet painting, door painting, wood staining, and wood painting. Houzz further lists faux finishes, drywall repair, and deck restoration as part of the scope. Homeowners looking beyond basic wall color have multiple specialty options under one contractor.

Kaylynne Lehnert Poremba hired A&A to paint windows and the garage door black and reported the change "elevated the curb appeal immensely" with "complete strangers stopping by to tell us how awesome the house looks." The company regularly combines trim, door, siding, and deck work into a single exterior project, pressure-washing surfaces before priming and painting. With a dedicated exterior house painting page and a separate deck-and-fence service, multi-surface curb-appeal transformations are a documented strength.
