About Us · Family Owned
The family behind the work
Gallagher Paint and Paper is Danny, Jaclyn, and Brian Gallagher, and a team that treats your home the way we would treat our own. We honor the trust it takes to invite us in.
Meet the Gallaghers
A family business, in the truest sense
We are the Gallaghers, and our name is on every project we take. We built our reputation one neighbor at a time, and today we work from Highland Park, serving homeowners across the North Shore and greater Chicagoland.
When you invite us in, you get the same people from the first handshake to the final walkthrough, and the same standard we hold for our own walls. That is the difference between hiring a crew and welcoming a family, and it is why so much of our work comes from referrals.

What We Stand For
How we treat every home
The trust to invite us in
We honor the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home. We protect and preserve the spaces you care about most, and treat them the way we would our own.
The best finish is 90% preparation
The color is the easy part. We sand, caulk, patch, and prime before a brush is lifted, because the groundwork is what makes a finish last for years.
A home left cleaner than we found it
We work clean as we go, cover and protect your floors and furniture, and reset the site every day. The only sign we were there is the finish.
A price you can shake on
Your quote is a firm promise. Unless the scope of the work changes, the price we shake on is the price you pay. No surprises at the end.

630-300-3071Are you a franchise or a local business?
We are a local, family-run business, not a national franchise or a call center. The Gallaghers grew up in these neighborhoods, and the people who quote your project are the people who do the work.
Do I need to be home while you work?
No. Many of our clients give us a key or a code and go about their days. We keep you updated, protect your home, and lock up when we leave.
How do you keep my home clean?
Cleanliness is built into how we work. We mask and cover surfaces, use dust-controlled sanding, and clean up every day, so your home stays livable throughout the project.
Is my estimate binding?
Yes. Your quote is a firm promise. Unless the scope of the work changes, the price we shake on is the price you pay.
