8A Solutions offered a very fair price and provided a great quality paint job. They got the work done in a timely manner as well. I highly recommend 8A Solutions.

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.

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.

Exceptional work, clear communication, and professional. It's hard to find the right people to trust in your home and rely on them to make your vision come true. This company checked all the boxes and completed the work exceeding my expectations! I will be sure to call them in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to refresh or restore their home!
