Interior Painting
Chicago
A proper paint job starts with proper prep — patching, priming, taping, and protecting everything before a brush touches the wall. We deliver clean lines, consistent coverage, and finishes that actually last in Chicago's climate.
Chicago’s Trusted
Interior Painting Contractor
The difference between a $500 paint job and a $5,000 paint job isn't always the paint — it's the prep. We patch nail holes, skim coat damaged drywall, prime bare surfaces, and tape everything precisely before applying a single coat. Lee & Sam is a licensed general contractor serving Chicago, the suburbs, and Northwest Indiana.
Our team brings 25+ years of finishing expertise to every painting project. We coordinate painting as part of full renovations or take on standalone painting projects for clients who want the job done right.
Serving all 55 Chicago neighborhoods — from Lincoln Park to Hyde Park — plus the North Shore, Western and South suburbs, and Northwest Indiana.
Every Painting Service
We Offer
Whole Home Painting
Complete interior painting from ceiling to baseboard — all rooms, hallways, ceilings, and trim in a coordinated color palette executed as one cohesive project.
Room Painting
Single room or multi-room painting projects — walls, ceilings, and trim finished precisely with clean edges and consistent coverage throughout.
Trim & Millwork Painting
Baseboards, crown molding, window casings, door frames, and all architectural trim painted with proper sanding between coats for a smooth, durable finish.
Cabinet Painting
Kitchen and bathroom cabinet painting — doors removed, sanded, primed, and painted with a durable cabinet-specific finish for a result that doesn't chip or yellow.
Drywall Repair & Prep
We patch holes, cracks, and damaged drywall before painting — skim coating where needed, priming bare patches, and ensuring surfaces are smooth before any paint is applied.
Post-Renovation Painting
Paint coordination as part of a full renovation — we sequence painting correctly with other trades so nothing gets scratched, scuffed, or painted over twice.
Our Painting
Process
Color Consultation & Estimate
We walk through your space, discuss your color direction, and provide a detailed estimate covering all surfaces, coats, and prep work before any commitment.
Prep Work
Furniture moved or protected, floors covered, holes patched, surfaces sanded, and everything taped precisely. Prep is what separates a lasting paint job from one that peels and shows brush marks within a year.
Painting
Primer where needed, then two finish coats minimum on all surfaces — walls, ceilings, and trim painted in the correct sequence for clean results throughout.
Cleanup & Touch-Up
We remove all tape and protection, touch up any imperfections, and walk every room with you before signing off. You get clean walls and a clean home.

FAQs
Have more questions? We're happy to walk through your painting project in detail.
Call Us NowWe use Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and Farrow & Ball depending on client preference and project requirements. We always use the correct sheen for each surface — flat on ceilings, eggshell on walls, semi-gloss on trim.
A single room takes 1–2 days. A whole home typically takes 5–10 days depending on size, number of colors, and prep required. We provide a detailed timeline before starting.
We move and protect furniture as part of every painting project. Large or extremely heavy items may need to be moved in advance — we'll let you know during the estimate.
Two finish coats minimum on all surfaces, plus primer on bare or repaired areas. Some colors — particularly reds, yellows, and deep hues — may require additional coats for full coverage.
