Improovy Painters Chicago

I highly recommend Improovy Painters! I worked with the Improovy team to paint accent walls in my apartment last year, and to repaint them back to their original color when it was time to move. The team is prompt, very courteous, reliable, and they do PHENOMENAL work!

My original accent wall color was a deeper, golden tone (which looked fantastic), and when I commissioned their help to repaint them to their original white color, it was like I never had accent walls, lol! See the before and after pic below; Improovy is the real deal. It was also an affordable job, and they work with you every step of the way. You can trust their Project Coordinators to make sure you get exactly what you want. Once again, I highly recommend working with the Improovy team for your next paint project! Special shout-out to Carr and Mike for making the process simple and straightforward!

I did a diligent search for the best painter for my living room and bedroom and went with Improovy and, boy, did I ever choose the right one. From initial, and further, conversations with Mike and Daniel to the amazing paint job by Alex (Alejandro) everything was perfection. A flawless experience from start to finish. Their customer service and communication is unapparelled. If you are looking for any kind of painting service, look no further. Improovy is the best!

Christian did a great job painting a half bathroom in our house. Would definitely use Improovy Painters again.

Improovy is da best! We have used their services a couple of times and we have had a positive experience overall each time. We had a leak in our closet that needed drywall repairs. We also wanted the ceiling and walls painted. Mike and Daniel were quick in getting everything all scheduled and a crew readily available. Jose and his team were on time to start the project. They finished much faster than anticipated and the quality of work was excellent. Thank you again for all your help!

amazing people, amazing work
Very professional and trustworthy
Would definitely use again and recommend to others

the Improvy team does an outstanding job, start to finish. second time around using them for complicated jobs and I couldn't be happie!
Manny, Armando and Daniel are great.

Highly recommend Improovy for any and all painting jobs. From the second I inquired more information on their services the communication was above and beyond any company I've ever worked with. They took the time to answer all of my questions and communicated throughout the process. My painter was Jose and he was the absolute best. He was so nice and explained everything once he got there. He patched up several nail holes as well as fixed patch work that a different company did. The paint looks amazing and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out!! Thanks Jose and Improovy!!

My experience with Improovy is that they operate in the opposite of their mission to "restore trust to the trades by making the lives of homeowners and painters better". I do not trust Improovy, I do not recommend them. Improovy used a painting company, Top Painters who do not have property damage coverage through their insurance and are not in good standing with the IL Secretary of State. They damaged my newly finished flooring beyond repair in the spring of 2023 to the tune of over $30,000. They used a sharp object, likely a razor blade, removing paint on the floors near the baseboards in ~30 places and scratched deep down into the wood. The painters told me they do this routinely to scrape paint off where the tape fails but then claimed to their insurance the deep scratches were from a "floor varnish problem" and the scratches occurred from removing painters tape from them. See the pictures for yourself as they did not occur from removing painters tape. Improovy's insurance denied covering, then sent the claim to the painters insurace (who I never directly hired or paid) & found their insurance does NOT COVER PROPERTY DAMAGE even though they caused it. Improovy nor Top Painters returned correspondence to me & answer the question of if they are going to pay for these damages, and the insurance claim is now 5+ months after occurrence. Also, Improovy (as stated in other reviews) charges for more expensive paint than what they use. They initially recommended I use Duration paint in Eggshell which does not exist. When asked about why they recommended paint that doesn't exist & if I was going to be charged for the more expensive paint they did not answer.

The painters were initially careful but unprofessional & sloppy in the return to my home. Initially they covered my floors/ furniture & I paid extra for complete coverage; upon return to complete work including Re-sanding, mudding, & painting they did not fully cover my floors and did not cover ANYTHING in bedroom. I was appalled to find them mudding directly over my bed that was not covered and there was paint/mud splattered on my TV, router, nightstand, bed, bedding & all over the floor. Autumn Ramsey, "field manager" returned to my home, began scraping paint off my floors with her fingernails & I had to stop her from causing more damage.

Improovy offers estimates over the phone based on pictures/videos and they over-promised services they could provide. They promised ceiling seam repair which would not take, were redone several times & eventually they stated future repairs would no longer be warrantied (this made sense since they couldn't be repaired but the work should not have been promised to begin with esp considering they increased the price after taking a 2nd look at the photos). Improovy stopped contacting me however and did not request final payment. I did pay a deposit and now I additionally have over $30,000 of damage to my home since they need completely replaced and can't be repaired. Improovy states they have a warranty on their services to be performed with reasonable care and skill but that did not happen. (I emailed Eddie Alvarado a production coordinator about the warranty and their guarantee of timeliness after numerous cancellations/ delays due to miscommunications btw Eddie & Autumn, but they did not respond to those questions). The painters painted over the seal of almost all electrical outlets & HVAC filter covers & thus could not be opened without ripping the paint and drywall off wall. I don't consider this "5 star" work. They never apologized for what their painters did in my home, despite acknowledging the damage & poor workmanship. I gave them opportunities to respond before I submitted insurance or wrote any reviews of my experience but they didn't. I was exceptionally polite to all despite being furious about the experience.

Don't hire a company that has a website that states they have no control of the quality of services the painters provide. When I hired Improovy I hired and paid them directly and had no info about their painters. I asked Tony - their lead painter of "Top Painters" on their first arrival date why I couldn't find them on Google & he claimed it was because the owner was a "family man" who didn't want to be on the internet. I should have canceled the job then. Even Improovys own insurance carrier told me that they had trouble obtaining their credentials and getting correspondence from them.

I question how they have all these excellent reviews. If you are a homeowner, question the painters Improovy uses in your home. They are not as stated "the top 1% of painters providing the best quality work". I would think the top 1% would at least be listed on the Better Business Bureau. Choose a company who does their own work, is actually fully insured including property damage and has word-of-mouth references. This was by far the worst experience I have had in almost 15 years of homeownership.

Absolutely first class experience. From our first zoom call with Carr to the meeting with Eddie as our project manager to the work being done by Tony and his painting crew, I literally have nothing but great things to say about Improovy. I highly highly recommend them to anyone looking for an affordable, professional and courteous company. 10 out of 10.

We used them to paint our house and front porch. I think the results speak for themselves. They were cost effective and very professional and responsive. Definitely worth checking them out! I will post a picture soon!
