About Us
A Small Chicago Crew, Built On Careful Work
Pal Paints is a five-person painting crew founded by Steven Palacio in 2023. No call center, no rotating subcontractors — just the same faces doing careful work.
Started in 2023. Built on referrals.
Steven started Pal Paints in 2023 with a simple idea: do the prep other crews skip, show up when you say you will, and leave the place cleaner than you found it. Three years later, that's still the whole playbook.
We're a crew of five. Every job gets walked by Steven personally — before we quote it, and again before we call it done. If something's not right, you call the person who painted it, not a customer-service line.
We reach for Sherwin-Williams by default, but we're glad to use whatever brand or color line you already trust. Your home, your call.
Three things we don't compromise on
Honesty first
If a room doesn't need repainting yet, we'll tell you. Written quotes, no hidden fees, and no surprise line items on the final invoice.
Careful craft
We spend more time on prep than most companies spend on the whole job. That's where a paint job is made or broken.
Staying small
Five painters, same faces every visit. Small enough to care about every wall, big enough to finish on schedule.
Proudly serving the Chicago area
Based in Chicago, working across the region. Outside these areas? Reach out anyway — if the fit is right, we'll make the drive.
