MAC Painting, Chicago

Backed by eight years of painting experience, MAC Painting owner Paul Maciaszek makes it a personal priority to quote and manage each of his company's projects. Since 2007, Paul and his troop of color casters have helped spruce up residential and commercial frameworks with an arsenal of services, including faux finishes, deck staining, and garage-floor coverings. The team's precisely aimed bristles also glide across hard-to-reach spots such as ceilings and trim, allowing customers to avoid standing on wobbly step stools or sitting awkwardly on the shoulders of a rented Scottie Pippen. Services begin with initial estimates, which MAC Painting provides for free.
