Do you do both interior and exterior painting?

Yes — interior, exterior, and cabinet refinishing, all in-house. Exterior repaints are prep-heavy by design; that's what makes them last.

Is exterior painting really worth it for resale?

It's one of the highest dollar-for-dollar curb-appeal moves there is. Our Property Value Analysis shows the projected return before you spend.

Painting done right — with the ROI up front

On the North Shore's older homes — think Lake Forest and Highland Park — exterior painting is really a prep job with paint at the end: thorough surface preparation, lead-safe practices on pre-1978 homes, and the right coatings for the exposure. In the newer subdivisions out toward Vernon Hills and Buffalo Grove, a full exterior repaint is one of the highest-return projects a homeowner can do, bringing a 25-to-40-year-old home back to the curb appeal it had new.

Inside, we keep it clean: careful masking, sharp cut lines, and respect for original trim and woodwork. Because every 8A project starts with a Property Value Analysis, you see how a repaint is expected to affect your home's value before you commit — paint is consistently one of the best dollar-for-dollar moves on the board.

8A Solutions has been wonderful to work with! Every member of their team was professional, knowledgeable, and did outstanding work from start to finish. They removed our solar panels, replaced our roof, and then reinstalled the panels seamlessly. On top of that, we also needed a crack in our foundation repaired, and they were incredibly accommodating and willing to work with us throughout the entire process. Their pricing was very fair, and they never tried to price gouge us. It’s refreshing to find a company that delivers high-quality workmanship while treating its customers honestly and respectfully. We will definitely be contacting 8A Solutions for future home projects and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and fairly priced home improvement services!

I’m very Type A and have worked with plenty of contractors over the years. Without a doubt, this team is top tier. They’re professional, on time, incredibly detail-oriented, and their work is exceptional. They kept everything clean and communicated every step of the way. My home feels completely transformed. I couldn’t be happier and wouldn’t consider anyone else.

If you’re looking for a change in 2026, this is your calling. I’ve been trying to get my house painted for years, but pricing always held me back. 8A Solution came out, gave me a great price, and actually listened to exactly what I wanted. They were quick, efficient, and their work truly speaks for itself. I couldn’t be happier with the results.
