Was your home built before 1978?
Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. Under the EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) rule, in effect since April 22, 2010, contractors who disturb paint in these homes must be certified and follow lead-safe work practices.
Perfection Painting is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Renovator. Your family, pets and neighbors stay protected while we work.
What homeowners should know about lead paintWhat our customers say
Tom is the best painter in the entire Metro East area! He did a great job on my home painting project. I would recommend Perfection Painting to anyone who is looking for neat, clean, affordable painting work in the area. You can trust them!
Sharon O. · Greater St. Louis Area
We got a couple of bids and Tom was the lowest. I had never had a painter before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. He and his crew did a great job and definitely exceeded my expectations. I also felt comfortable leaving them to run some errands. Very trustworthy company.
Google reviewer
Beat all other bids, best painting work I have ever seen, very reliable and always on time. Will always use and recommend them.

Common questions
Are your estimates really free?
Yes. We come out, look at the project, and give you an accurate written estimate at no cost and with no obligation.
What areas do you serve?
The Illinois side of the Metro East around Belleville and Waterloo: all of St. Clair and Monroe County plus nearby Madison and Randolph County towns, including Belleville, Waterloo, Columbia, Shiloh, Swansea, Fairview Heights, O’Fallon, Mascoutah, Millstadt, Smithton, Freeburg, Collinsville, Edwardsville and Red Bud.
Do you do commercial painting?
Yes. We paint residential, commercial and industrial properties.
My home was built before 1978. Is lead paint a concern?
It can be. Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, and federal EPA rules require contractors who disturb that paint to be certified and to use lead-safe work practices. Perfection Painting is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Renovator.
Should I use latex or oil-based paint?
For most jobs, latex. It is more environmentally friendly, has far fewer fumes indoors, and stays flexible as surfaces expand and contract with the weather. Oil-based paint levels out smoother and dries harder, so it still has a place on some trim and high-wear surfaces. We will recommend the right product for each surface.
What paint brands do you use?
We use quality paints from trusted manufacturers such as Sherwin-Williams. You can preview colors on your own home with the free Sherwin-Williams color visualizer.
