ABOUT ALWAYS PRO PAINTERS

Fifteen years of color, care, & craft.

For over 15 years, we've been transforming homes and businesses across Chicagoland — combining traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques for painting, drywall, wallpaper, deck staining, and custom colors.

OUR STORY

Founded on the idea that every space deserves better.

Always Pro Painters was founded in 2009 with a simple mission: to provide homeowners and businesses with painting services, drywall expertise, and specialized finishes that exceed expectations. What started as a small family business has grown into one of the region's most trusted painting and drywall companies.

​

Our founder, Preston S. Thompson III, with over two decades of experience, recognized the need for a company that prioritized quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction above all else. That vision continues to guide everything we do.

​

We believe every space has the potential to be transformed — and we take pride in helping clients realize their vision through expert craftsmanship, premium materials, and unparalleled attention to detail
