What's different about painting in Chicago, IL
In Chicago, painting demand is concentrated around deck staining and stucco painting. The humid continental climate with hot summers and brutally cold winters adds local complexity — pros here regularly handle frozen-pipe protection, which generalists from outside the area often underestimate. The most common Chicago painting projects this season include exterior repaint, cabinet refinishing, trim and accent walls. Use ProBids to post your specific project and let local pros tell you exactly how they'd handle it, with line-item pricing.
