Interior Painting

The guts of the operation. From light repair work like patching nail holes in walls, light sanding work to painting ceilings, walls, trim, doors and windows, this is the majority of my operation.

Restoration work

Chicago has some old homes with many layers of paint. Whether you need things fully stripped or are just trying to make things look a little better without breaking the bank, I can help you in achieving that goal.

Something I can’t Do?

As much as I try, I can’t do everything but will do my best to put you in contact with other trusted professionals to ensure your needs are met.

Other Services

Trim installation, light drywall installation and taping, spray painting, window restoration, drywall refinishing, and more. Ask me.

Exterior Painting

By special request I can take care of some exterior paint projects for you. Just ask.

I don’t see any prices

Every job is unique and I feel it is unfair to to either my clients or myself to throw out numbers arbitrarily since so many variables go into pricing a job. Please contact me to schedule a free estimate so you can get a price on everything requested. See my FAQ page for additional questions you may have.

About Me

I’m Frida, I’ve been in business since 2015. I’ve been continuously building my craft and creating long standing relationships with my clients while continuing to learn and offer more. I’m a one person operation with a network of trusted professionals who can assist you when your tasks go beyond painting. I’m LGBTQ friendly and will treat you with the kindness and warmth everyone deserves and expects when people step into their home to do work.

What My Clients Are Saying

Three artists mixing blue and gold paint in a large metal vat inside a bright studio.

“Frida put together a thoughtful proposal and was thorough in an apartment that hadn't been painted or restored comprehensively in more than 20 years. The work completed was well done and additional work was done to fix several older doors not closing properly. While the work took a few weeks for a 1,500 sf apartment, the quality was well done, the workspace was clean, and there was minimal disruption due to paint smell or other paint related odors. For a detail job that is focused on quality over speed, I completely recommend Frida. Price is reasonable for quality of work as well.”

“I hired Frida to fix long neglected walls for an office and power room, both were previously painted by a homeowner and needed a significant amount of rework. Frida did an excellent job restoring the walls and painting our quite detailed trim and accents in both rooms. Frida was very detail oriented and provided good feedback and guidance during planning to helping me choose what degree of restoration she would do. I would definitely recommend working with Frida for your painting project.”

Real Jobs, Real Work

In the hustle and bustle of work come the unedited and un-curated photos of a day on the job. I don’t take many photos as my priority is getting the job done but on the occasion I do take photos and I’m somehow able to create a before and after, the differences are stark. Enjoy!
