Ready to Transform Your Home or Business With a Fresh, Lasting Finish?

As a painting company with over three decades of hands-on industry experience, I understand what it takes to handle jobs both big and small. At Nucleus Contract Paint and Design, I bring precision, dependability, and attention to detail to every project I take on. Based in Chicago, IL, my work reflects a deep connection to the local community and its needs. Many property owners struggle with inconsistent workmanship or delays that waste time and money—issues I actively avoid through personalized service and clear communication. What sets my business apart is the combination of solo craftsmanship with professional-grade results across residential and commercial projects. With 31 years in business, certified credentials, and a full dedication to quality, you can expect consistent outcomes you’ll feel confident about for years to come.

I Specialize in the Following Services:

 
Interior Painting

Interior Painting

Outdated wall colors, uneven tones, or general wear can make interiors feel dull or uninviting. My interior painting services offer an efficient way to refresh rooms while improving their appearance, character, and comfort. I use clean application methods, high-performance materials, and precise edging techniques to produce smooth finishes on walls, ceilings, trim, and doors. Whether you're preparing a space for resale or simply want a more polished atmosphere, I guide each step from surface prep to color matching. The final result is a clean, cohesive look that supports your lifestyle goals without disrupting your routine.
Exterior Painting

Exterior Painting

When exterior paint begins peeling or fading due to sun exposure or weather damage, curb appeal suffers and surfaces become vulnerable. My exterior painting services restore protection while creating strong visual impact for homes and businesses alike. Proper surface preparation is key—I address issues like flaking paint, wood rot, or mildew before applying premium coatings suited for climate resistance. Each job includes careful masking of surrounding areas as well as detailed finishing touches around windows and edges. Your building will stand out with cleaner lines and long-lasting coverage built for seasonal changes.
Cabinet Refinishing

Cabinet Refinishing

Replacing cabinets is costly and often unnecessary when finish degradation is the main issue. My cabinet refinishing service revives aged cabinetry by renewing the surface rather than removing it entirely. Using sanding equipment designed to minimize dust along with controlled application techniques, I apply stains or paints that bond effectively for lasting adhesion. This approach improves kitchens, bathrooms, and storage units without displacing their structure. You get updated cabinets with fresh appeal at a fraction of the replacement cost—all completed with minimal interruption to your daily life.
Drywall Repair

Drywall Repair

Dents, cracks, water stains—or worse—can leave drywall looking unfinished or neglected. Through my drywall repair service, these flaws are professionally assessed and corrected using patching systems matched to the surrounding texture. From small nail holes to larger damage behind fixtures or under leaks, I smooth out inconsistencies so they disappear once painted over. This process ensures walls blend seamlessly again while supporting structural soundness where needed. It’s an essential step before any paintwork begins—and one many clients overlook until it’s resolved the right way.

Why Work With One Trusted Professional Instead of a Large Crew?

Choosing a solo-owned painting company means working directly with the person responsible for your outcome—from consultation through final inspection—which builds trust and eliminates confusion during every stage of the project. I focus on maintaining consistent communication and setting realistic expectations that align with your vision from day one. This approach creates peace of mind because there’s no handoff between crew members or shifting timelines caused by staff availability. My goal is not just aesthetic transformation but also to provide predictability that fits smoothly into your schedule and priorities. The emotional ease that comes from knowing exactly who’s doing the work adds real value beyond surface improvements alone. If you’re curious about how this approach might benefit your project further, visit my blog section where I share more insights into practical planning tips and material advice tailored for various property types.

How Do I Approach Each Project From Start to Finish?

I believe in delivering steady results through organized steps backed by transparent communication and thoughtful follow-through. Each phase supports long-term durability while respecting your space throughout the process—whether it’s a full repaint or targeted service like cabinet refinishing. Working alone allows me complete oversight of all prep work, applications, safety measures, and cleanup procedures so nothing slips through unnoticed. My commitment extends beyond just aesthetics; it’s about ensuring the function behind each finish holds up over time without shortcuts or rushed decisions getting in the way. Clients appreciate knowing their concerns are heard personally instead of passed between unfamiliar faces. This hands-on method reflects values like reliability, attentiveness, accountability—and provides clarity around progress milestones at each turn. For answers to common questions about timing or materials used in specific scenarios, check out my website’s FAQ section anytime.
