Here's a glowing review for your painter:

**Rating:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I recently hired Mark Allen with Allen Pro Painters to paint my island, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the experience was seamless. He was incredibly professional, arriving on time and ready to work.
What impressed me most was his willingness to help throughout the process. He offered valuable suggestions on color choices and techniques, making sure everything aligned with my vision. The attention to detail in the final product was outstanding, and the quality of work truly exceeded my expectations.
I highly recommend Allen Pro Painters for any painting project. He made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free.

I had a great experience working with Mark on painting my cabinets in my playroom. His work was top notch and the price was very reasonable. I will be working with him again soon!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I start with an agreed upon fixed fee and any added work is billed at a rate of $60/hr or a new estimate is provided at the owners request. I receive a contractor discount on Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams paint which I pass on to the customer. Once colors have been chosen, I am happy to pick up the paint and bill at cost, receipts provided.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It is preferable to visit the space that will be painted first to view the project and meet the customer. I take a few pictures, go back to the office, compile an estimate and email to customer for review. A schedule is then determined.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have an Associates degree from Harrington College of Design in Chicago (Interior Design). I apprenticed in interior painting with a master painter with 40 years of experience working mainly in the North Shore area of Chicago.
