Local, Not a Franchise

Rooted in the neighborhoods we paint

Gallagher Paint and Paper is a family-owned company rooted in the communities we serve, not a franchise or a call center. We grew up in these neighborhoods, and we understand the difference between the original plaster in a historic North Shore home and the drywall in newer construction across DuPage and the surrounding suburbs. We know how Midwest weather and lake-effect humidity affect exterior paint and surface preparation.

That local knowledge shows up in every estimate we write and every project we finish, and it is why so much of our work comes from referrals.

We bring it to interior painting, exterior painting, wallpaper, and drywall across every area below.
