What Do We Do?
Skyline Decorating is a commercial, union painting and wall covering contractor known
for its high level of service and attention to detail.  Opened in 2002, Skyline
has grown steadily by consistently choosing an emphasis on quality over profit.
Why Hire us?
The reason people hire us is because of our people.  Our field personnel are the best
tradesmen in Chicago.  They are highly skilled and motivated, well schooled in safety,
and are not satisfied until the project quality exceeds the customer's expectations.  
They do that by doing it right the first time and then checking their work (just in case).  
Our office personnel are also some of the best in Chicago.  They take a proactive
approach to managing painting projects by identifying and solving problems before
they really become a problem on the job site (when it is often too late).
Skyline Decorating, Inc.
Just In!
We are happy to say we have been awarded several attractive jobs at a time when
jobs are extremely difficult to find. They include the full floor tenant expansion of
Navteq at the Boeing building, a 280,000 sf CVS Caremark distribution facility in Mt.
Prospect and a 50,000 sf tenant improvement called Project Mercury at the
Merchandise Mart for Skender Interiors, 140,000 sf of Allstate Campus Modernization
for Pepper Construction,
The Chicago Theatre repainting, the Patron Services area
at the Auditorium Theatre, Hyatt O'hare locker rooms for LEVEL Construction, and
several maintenance projects at Northwestern University direct for the university. We
are also starting a remodeling project with W.E. O'neil at the Hollywood Casino in
Joliet (thanks Laney) and two villas and three condos at the
Garlands of Barrington.  
After a challenging 2011 where managing expenses ruled the day, we are actually
hiring painters and expect to double our staff in the first quarter of the new year.  

Many thanks to those who continue to put their trust in us.

Sustainable Practices Everyday
Skyline has completed over ten LEED certified projects to include HSBC's 600,000
s.f.  North American headquarters as its first.  While it has been a challenge to retrain
our field person to select and use all low or zero VOC products, we have found that it
has been so successful at reducing our generation of hazardous waste, we have
adopted all low VOC water based products as our standard line up.  This has allowed
us to eliminate the use of solvents.  For cleaning oily pipes, we are using vinegar and
for stripping old paint, orange and lemon based products.
