Grams Painting & Decorating is a family-owned, owner-operated painting company serving Arlington Heights and the Northwest Chicago suburbs since 2012. Interior and exterior painting, staining, drywall repair, and more — with meticulous prep and daily cleanup.
From a single room to your home’s entire exterior, every project gets the same careful prep, quality materials, and clean finish.
From a single room to a whole-home refresh, we prep meticulously, protect your floors and furniture, and leave crisp, even finishes. Daily cleanup is standard.
Proper surface prep — washing, scraping, sanding, and priming — followed by durable, multi-coat application that stands up to Chicago-area seasons.
Doors, trim, baseboards, and railings — stained and sealed to highlight the grain and guard against wear, sun, and moisture.
We repair and patch drywall, fill cracks and nail pops, and sand everything level before painting — so the finished wall looks like new.
Careful removal, adhesive cleanup, and wall repair leave a smooth surface primed and ready for paint.
Thorough cleaning, sanding, and careful application give kitchen cabinets and trim a durable, even finish without the cost of replacement.
Grams Painting & Decorating is owner-operated by Jack Grams, serving homeowners across Arlington Heights and the Northwest Chicago suburbs since 2012. You’ll work directly with the person doing the work — not a call center or a rotating crew of subcontractors.
That’s why neighbors keep calling back and recommending us: we show up when we say we will, prep meticulously, communicate clearly, and leave your home clean and looking its best.
We visit, listen to your goals, point out anything to watch for, and give you a clear written quote.
We cover and move furniture, mask surfaces, and repair, sand, and prime so the finish lasts.
Clean lines, even coats, quality materials — and a tidy worksite cleaned up every day.
We review every room together and aren’t done until you’re completely happy with the result.

Jack and his team painted most of our home — four bedrooms, the living and dining rooms, kitchen, hallway, two bathrooms, and the family room. The work was completed on schedule, they cleaned up every single day, and carefully covered and moved our furniture. He even caught issues we hadn’t noticed during the estimate.
Wonderful — on time, professional, and courteous. My living room looks like a magazine cover. I’ll definitely be calling him back.
Other companies never returned my calls, and the one that did quoted more than double — without even including the paint. Jack came out, gave a fair estimate, and did excellent work.
We had a tricky striped design painted in our son’s room. Jack was very responsive and the job was done extremely well — the edges and lines are so clean and sharp.
Excellent job with all the painting, staining, and varnishing. He and his crew were always on time, very clean, and careful to mask and cover as needed. They cleaned up every day.
Prepped and painted the garage door, front door, and exterior windows. On time, clean, thorough, and pleasant to work with. Would definitely recommend.
