What your neighbors say about us

"We had Gallagher Paint & Paper come in to tackle our master bedroom and hallway. Honestly, I was stressed—picking colors, worrying about dust, you name it. But from the first call, they put me at ease. No pressure, no fluff, just straight-up good people doing solid work. If you want a crew that’s reliable, respectful, and really knows their stuff, these are the folks."

Georgia P.

Naperville, IL

"We had another crew do a room before, but the paint was off, and the wallpaper looked washed out. Felt like we wasted money. Then we called Gallagher Paint & Paper to fix it.

They didn’t just match the paint; they picked a finish that made the wallpaper pop, like the room finally came alive. Clean, no fuss, and they treated our house like their own.

If you’re cleaning up someone else’s mess, call these guys. They’ll get it right."

John & Stella H.

Arlington Heights, IL

"We had our kitchen painted by Gallagher Paint & Paper, and man, what a difference. It was dated, tired-looking, and I’ll admit, I was skeptical one coat could do much. But they picked a color that opened the whole space up, and the finish? Tough enough for splatters, steam, and sticky little hands.

They were in and out fast, left zero mess, and now the kitchen feels like a whole new part of the house. Didn’t think I’d get excited about walls and trim—but I am. Solid crew. Would call them again in a heartbeat."

Common Questions

Is hiring a professional painter worth it?

Yes. Hiring a professional isn't just about the finish; it’s about the time you get back and the peace of mind you gain. We provide the meticulous prep work and proper tools that ensure a factory-grade result, helping you avoid the hidden costs of DIY mistakes.

Do I need to be home while you’re working?

We know your schedule is demanding. It’s not about being there to watch us; it’s about having a team you can trust with your key code. Many of our neighbors in DuPage County provide a code or key so they can go about their day without disruption.

How do you ensure my home stays clean?

We don't just "clean up" at the end. We practice a "clean as we go" protocol. We use meticulous prep work and floor protection to ensure we leave your sanctuary cleaner than we found it.

Are you a franchise or a local business?

We aren't a national number or a franchise. We’re a family-run business and your neighbors. We believe because we’re a family, we’ll respect yours.
