### Reviews

**★★★★★ — mcalog, Aug. 2020**

> Brian did a fantastic job on my bathroom walls.  He removed old wallpaper and replaced new.  It has a crazy pattern and he matched everything perfectly including electrical plates!  He was right on time and finished earlier than expected.  He was very patient with me as I had to delay the job for some months due to unexpected issues .  He had good tips when he came to do the initial quote and was very helpful.
>
> I highly recommend him and would definitely use him again when needed!

**★★★★★ — Rob Garber, Aug. 2017**

> I was really happy with Brian's work.  He was responsive and timely and the work he did was beautiful.  We will definitely hire him again!

**★★★★★ — khornbach, Aug. 2017**

> Brian helped with painting two rooms and wallpapering a wall in one of the rooms. He also did some patching over a space that we'd had some outlets moved. Everything looked great when he was done and he did a fantastic job lining up the edges of the wallpaper.

**★★★★★ — Kyley, May 2017**

> I hired Brian to wallpaper my powder bathroom and it turned out so nice!  He did such a great job and there were some tricky areas where he needed to match up the design and it looks perfect.  He was very professional and I will definitely hire him again for my future projects.

**★★★★★ — Carrie Zalewski, May 2017**

> Brian was incredible. He was very responsive to emails and upfront about costs. When he came to install the wallpaper, he worked tirelessly until the intrically patterned wallpaper was impeccably installed in the busy corner. He was incredibly kind and patient with my 4 kids (and large dog). I found Brian reasonably priced, professional and very easy to work with. I will definitely use First Floor Chicago for future projects and would highly recommend their services.

**★★★★★ — J Dudley, March 2017**

> Working with First Floor Chicago was excellent - Brian was able to start the project quickly after I contacted him and was willing to work around a changing timeline as we waited for wallpaper orders to arrive. Both paint and wallpaper projects look fantastic.

**★★★★★ — Stephanie Willmoth, Jan. 2017**

> Brian at First Floor Chicago was referred to me when I was in a pinch to have a 1 bedroom condo painted that I was renting out. He was very quick to reply to my email and met me within a couple of days to provide an estimate and was able to complete the job within a couple of days after that. He was very knowledgeable and helpful with paint recommendations and even picked up the paint himself, which saved me a trip. The result looks great and was very affordable. Highly recommend and would use him again!

**★★★★★ — User, Dec. 2016**

> competitive quote the week before Thanksgiving and finished painting and patching our apartment 2 days before we hosted our first turkey day. Clean, professional, and excellent experience. Would definitely recommend and use again and again and again.

**★★★★★ — Collin Moody, Dec. 2016**

> I simply cannot recommend Brian highly enough! He had such a perfect amount of recommendations and ability to hear our vision and find things to help us accomplish it. Installs and painting were fantastic and he was such a pleasure to work with!

**★★★★★ — Marie-Claude Schauer, Sept. 2016**

> Brian came highly recommended by our painter who had done a great job in our new condo.
> The wallpaper we had chosen demanded extra care and work to hang, Brian did a splendid job, our power room is now the centerpiece of our apartment. He was very punctual, left the place in very good order every day that he was there and his charge for such a delicate job was very reasonable in our estimate.
> We would employ him again for our next remodeling.

**★★★★★ — bcebulski, Sept. 2016**

> We hired First Floor Chicago to help us with arranging and hanging our artwork throughout our new condo. Brian did an excellent job grouping the art, but did verify that we agreed with his suggestions before proceeding with hanging anything. I was very grateful to have his expertise. I highly recommend First Floor Chicago.

**★★★★★ — Michael Johnson, Sept. 2016**

> You run the gamut of service and quality in hiring a contractor these days - not so with Brian.  He is one of the rare folks that delivers every time - with minimal effort on your part.  He will help you visualize the outcome of a project and make seasoned suggestions.  After that, he delivers without without the need for further interaction. He is a true professional in a world where many simply pretend to be.
>
> I have used him for plaster repair, re-painting, light-carpentry, and creative interior furniture design-build over the past year (2016).

## Community Q&A

**Q: color for walls** *(in Design Dilemma)*

suggestions for wall color with this bed?

A: If replacing the other furniture be sure to only bring back in what you really need. Keep the nightstands simple and smaller in scale. Are both the dresser and armoire really necessary? Pick one. Consider supporting a local furniture designer or design school student. Tables are a great way for them to share their talent.
