About Leader Group Decorating
We paint and decorate homes, townhomes and businesses in Park Ridge and the suburbs around it, from our headquarters on Northwest Highway in Park Ridge.
How we think about a paint job
A paint job is mostly prep. The color is the part people see, but whether it still looks right in five years depends on what happened before the first coat: how the cracks were opened and filled, whether loose paint was scraped down to something sound, and whether the primer suits the surface underneath.
The suburbs around Park Ridge make that harder than new construction does. Much of the housing went up between the 1920s and the 1970s, with plaster in the older homes, old oil paint on the trim, radiators in bungalows, cedar that weathers fast and brick that has been painted, stripped and painted again. We built our way of working around those houses rather than around new drywall.
That is also why we treat older homes as lead-safe jobs from the start, keep a clear path through occupied houses, and leave a labeled can of touch-up paint for every room.
One base in Park Ridge
Every job runs from our headquarters at 7420 Northwest Highway in Park Ridge. From there I-294, the Kennedy and the Edens take our painters to Des Plaines, Niles, Skokie and Evanston, out to Arlington Heights, Palatine and Schaumburg, up the North Shore and west into DuPage County.
One number, (312) 579-0481, answered 24 hours a day. Whoever picks up takes down the job and books a walk-through with a painter.
What you can expect from us
A written price
The work, the prep and the number of coats are written down before we start.
Protection first
Floors, furniture, fixtures and shrubs covered before anything is scraped or sprayed.
Lead-safe habits
Containment, wet methods and HEPA cleanup on pre-1978 surfaces.
Tidy at the end of each day
Rooms usable at night, tools out of the way, debris bagged and removed.
Final walk-through
We go over the work with you and fix what you point out before we call it done.
Touch-up paint left behind
Labeled by room and color so small marks can be fixed later.
How calls are handled
Leader Group paints every job it books. On the rare day every one of our painters is already committed, a call may be passed to another established local painting company so your job still gets looked at quickly, and we say so on the call before anything is arranged.
Articles on our painting resources page are written by Thaddeus Wojcik, senior painter.
