Interior Painters in Northbrook, IL For Over 30 Years
One of the most effective ways to transform the look and feel of your home is with professional interior painting. At Sunpainting, we help homeowners throughout Northbrook and the surrounding Chicago suburbs refresh their living spaces with high-quality interior painting services that deliver beautiful, long-lasting results.
Sunpainting is based in Northbrook, and we have been painting homes here and in the neighboring towns for over 30 years. That local focus matters because Northbrook’s houses have a history of their own. The village was called Shermerville until 1923, and it grew from about 3,300 residents in 1950 to more than 25,000 by 1970 as postwar subdivisions replaced farmland.
Today about two-thirds of Northbrook’s homes were built between 1940 and 1989, and the median home dates to 1976, according to 2020-2024 Census estimates compiled by CMAP. Rooms in houses of that age have often been through several owners, remodels and color changes, so a good interior job here starts with careful prep before the first finish coat.

What Interior Painters in Northbrook, IL Plan For
Northbrook homes tend to be roomy. The same Census estimates put the median at 7.2 rooms, and about 45% of homes have four or more bedrooms. A repaint in a house that size touches a lot of walls, trim and ceilings, so it helps to agree on the order of rooms at the estimate and keep the spaces you use most available for as long as possible.
- Walls and ceilings: cracks, nail pops and old patches are filled, sanded and primed so repairs do not show through the new paint. Larger damage is handled by our drywall repair service before painting starts.
- Kitchens: painting cabinets can update a kitchen without replacing it. Our cabinet painting process removes doors and hardware, then cleans, sands, applies an oil-based primer and two top coats.
- Wallpaper and textured ceilings: if a room still has old wallpaper or a popcorn ceiling from an earlier remodel, we can remove it and prepare the surface for paint.
- Dust control: we sand with Festool dustless sanders connected to HEPA vacuums, and we cover floors and furniture with drop cloths and plastic.
There is also no village paperwork to wait on. The Village of Northbrook lists residential painting and residential drywall repair among the work that does not require a building permit.
Questions for Our Northbrook Interior Painters
Do I need a permit to paint the inside of my Northbrook home?
No. The Village of Northbrook lists residential painting and residential drywall repair as work that does not need a building permit. Projects that go beyond painting and repairs may be different, so check the village’s Licenses & Permits page for those.
How do you keep dust and mess down while we live in the house?
We sand with Festool dustless sanders connected to HEPA vacuums, cover floors and furniture with drop cloths and plastic, and remove switch and outlet covers before painting. We clean up as we go and walk the finished job with you.
Can you paint our kitchen cabinets instead of replacing them?
Yes. We remove the doors and hardware, clean and sand every surface, apply one coat of oil-based primer and finish with two top coats. You can read more on our cabinet painting page.
Which paint brands do you use?
We work with Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams and Behr, and we can help you choose colors with a color consultation. When the job is done, we leave labeled touch-up paint for future scuffs.
