What we do
Two trades, one clean finish
Most painters call a drywall guy and wait. Most drywallers leave you to find a painter. Andres does both, so the wall and the paint are one job, done once.
Exterior Painting
Siding, trim, rooflines, windows, and decks: washed, scraped, and prepped so the topcoat holds up to Chicago weather.
Drywall Installation
New walls and ceilings hung, taped, and finished smooth, taken all the way to a paint-ready surface.
Drywall Repair & Patching
Holes, nail pops, cracks, and ceiling damage patched, mudded, and sanded until the repair disappears into the wall.
Skim Coating & Plaster
Old texture and damaged plaster skimmed flat, whole ceilings or single walls. This is the base a great paint job starts from.
Power Washing
Siding, decks, and fences washed clean before paint goes on, because prep decides how many years the finish lasts.
Before & after
Same room. Drag the handle.
Two frames from one interior job: the wall at the start of the day, and the same wall after prep and paint.

Andres Cruz started this company in October 2023 with the two trades most homes actually need: drywall and paint. He works owner-operated out of Chicago's Back of the Yards. Most weeks he is in Pilsen, Bridgeport, Brighton Park, or a suburban repaint, hanging board in the morning and cutting lines by afternoon.
“We do interior, exterior painting and drywall installation, and patching. We offer a 30-day touch-up. We do free estimates. We love working with our customers as best as we can to make them happy.”— Andres, on his own listing
