**★★★★★ — Dan Tosh, Feb. 2023**

> Excellent company!  Very clean and detail orientated.  Any questions or changes we had where met every time.  Thanks

**★★★★★ — Brett Whitney, Oct. 2017**

> We have returned to Custom Colors Painting several times now, and referred to many neighbors always with excellent results. This time we had a significant wasp nest within the wall to repair. They were quick to respond, removed the entire nest, repaired the wall both interior and exterior as if it was never there, all within a morning. The speed and professionalism is unparalleled, and service outstanding. If you are in need of painting, these are your guys!

**★★★★★ — jwexler82, March 2017**

> Jeff and his crew painted the entire upstairs of our home from floor trim to the kitchen cabinets. The work done was impeccable. Very friendly and personable team and everything was completed in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Custom Colors Painting for any paint job you need done. Prices are very reasonable as well.

**★★★★★ — Mark Swanson, Nov. 2015**

> We needed to have our 1929 sears home wood shingle siding and wood trim repainted. Jeff provided a fair and professional proposal. His team did a great job of cleaning and repainting the house. They were neat, thorough and quick. We are very pleased with the end result.

**★★★★★ — A&R Home Services, Aug. 2015**

> I own and operate a Remodeling company.... I use Jeff and his crew for all my Painting needs. Between the quoting process, scheduling of work to be completed, quality of work performed and the satisfaction of my clients for the painting end of project, I would refer Custom Colors to anyone in need of Painting and Wallpapering.

**★ — pereype, July 2015**

> After completing the service we found things that were not finish properly and after several calls the owner agree to come one day to see what it was pending. He never show up and never respond to calls again.
>
> Some of the things that we found:
> A door from a cabinet that was reinstall fall down
> A blind that was reinstall fall down
> Washer and Dryer that were move have dents
> The floor was scratched
> Wall paint have some bubbles
> etc
>
>
> Very disappointing for the lack of response. Would not recommend the service.

**★★★★★ — Maria Pifke for Ethan Allen Inc. Schaumburg, April 2015**

> As a design professional I only recommend the best to my clients. Jeff of Custom colors has the knowledge and experience to complete any project. His attitude and professionalism is always a pleasure. Jeff has the ability to meet deadlines and budgets which is a must this day and age.

## Community Q&A

**Q: What product and application did you use?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: We have 2 different products that are used to achieve this look.  The 1st is just taking an exterior paint and having a ratio of 4:1 of water to paint.  The other method is mixing a lime solution that requires some chemicals.  For this particular house we used the paint/water solution and made sure we worked in section every 4 feet (so the product would not dry too fast).  After we rolled the product on we then had 1 guy take a rag and wipe down the entire area to help with getting everything to look even.  Good Luck!
