About Windy City Painters
Welcome to Windy City Painters, one of the best Chicago painting companies with over two decades of experience. Established in 2003, we are a small, family-owned business based in the heart of Ukrainian Village, a vibrant neighborhood in Chicago's West Town area. Unlike large franchises, we pride ourselves on providing personalized service with a team of skilled professionals who have been with us for years.
As a West Town painter and Wicker Park painter, we’ve built a reputation for delivering high-quality painting services that exceed customer expectations. Our success is a result of our dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction, as reflected in the hundreds of positive reviews we’ve received on platforms like Yelp and Google.

Our Services
At Windy City Painters, we specialize in a variety of painting and restoration services, including:
- Interior painting for homes, apartments, and condos in Chicago.

Specialization in Rusted Metal Structures Refinishing
One of our specialties at Windy City Painters is rusted metal structures refinishing. We have extensive experience restoring wrought iron fences, metal porches, fire escapes, and other metal surfaces that have been affected by rust and weathering. Our refinishing process is designed to not only improve the appearance of your metal surfaces but also to extend their longevity, ensuring they remain durable and protected for years to come.
Our process begins with extensive surface protection to safeguard surrounding areas from dust and debris. We then perform rust grinding to remove loose rust, flaking paint, and any other contaminants that may affect the finish. After the surface is properly prepared, we apply a rust-converting primer to neutralize any remaining rust and prevent further corrosion. Finally, we use a high-quality Aliphatic Finish, which provides a smooth, durable finish that enhances the aesthetic appeal of the metal while offering excellent protection against the elements. This comprehensive process ensures that your metal structures will not only look great but will stand the test of time, even in Chicago's harsh climate.
Our Commitment to Quality
At Windy City Painters, we are committed to providing exceptional service and quality craftsmanship. We understand that every project is unique, and we take the time to tailor our services to meet your specific needs. Whether you're looking to refresh your home’s interior, restore your kitchen cabinets, or treat rusted metal surfaces, we have the expertise and resources to get the job done right.
We stand behind our work, offering a warranty on all our projects. Our goal is to leave every client completely satisfied with the results, which is why we offer post-project support, including touch-ups, if needed. With hundreds of positive reviews and a reputation for reliability, Windy City Painters is the trusted choice for homeowners and businesses across Chicago.

Kamil at Windy City Painters did a fantastic job painting my home! He was professional, efficient, and great at his job. Communicating with Andy made it quick and easy to schedule, hassle free. Will definitely be using them again in the future- I am so happy with the results!

January 8, 2026Oskar and Richard refinished our metal porch two weeks ago. It looks phenomenal. It was unbelievable transformation. From rusty piece of garbage to beautiful, like new porch.

November 13, 2025Really great experience having Windy City Painters paint my living room, entry way, and hall - highly recommended. Andy was able to give me a prompt, accurate, & very fair quote for the work - really taking the time to go through all the details which was appreciated! And Kamil, who did the painting, was incredibly professional and took so much care - it’s an older place with layers and layers of paint and dry wall over plaster, so a lot of tricky lines but it looks so beautiful!

We received outstanding service on two home painting jobs. Kamil repaired our bathroom ceiling expertly and repainted a wall that had water damage. And he did a fine job repainting the rear of our home. Windy City Painters will always be our first call for all painting needs!

September 16, 2025We recently had the pleasure of working with Andy Kowalewski of Windy City Painters. Andy was extremely courteous and professional in making the site visit and in offering recommendations of how our near full-house interior painting needs could be best achieved. Painters Oskar and Artem were assigned to our project, and both were phenomenal to work with. They showed up promptly each day of the three-day project, maintained a tidy workspace with minimal interruptions, and provided prompt and courteous clean-up at the end of each day. The care and detail in which our home was masked and protected during the painting was impeccable. They patched and repaired damage to the walls and clearly were interested to assure us our expectations were being met. I would highly recommend Windy City Painters and especially the painter team of Oskar and Artem.

July 11, 2025Great, reliable, communicative company! Andy and his team know how to do work correctly. They spent a lot of time grinding / prepping and used high quality paint for our exterior steel work. They also made sure to handle any touchup work we found quickly!

June 13, 2025We've happily used Windy City Painters for an array of projects over the years; first painting the interior of our condo and most recently to restore and repaint our condo building common area staircases and hallways. Andy the owner has been unfailingly friendly, knowledgeable and responsive across all of our projects. Oskar and his colleague tackled our latest project quickly and thoroughly. They were high attentive to detail throughout. Everything looks fantastic and the work was completed within the estimated time and cost. We'd recommend Windy City Painters to anyone.
