Town Decor

Robert just completed a project in my condo building — repainting the front door (interior and exterior) as well as the walls and baseboards in the front entryway. He was very responsive and provided an on-​the-​spot verbal estimate and a written estimate. (Very fair pricing, by the way.) Robert was easy to get in touch with via email, and, as promised, called me to discuss final details before the work began. On the day the project took place, he arrived on time and was friendly, professional, and tidy. Best of all, his work was excellent! The front door and hallway look much fresher. I would definitely work with Robert again in the future, either for our condo building or on any personal projects.

Robert is AMAZING both in quality as consulting. I chose colors I liked and he directed my shade choices. Everyone compliments us on the accent wall he made for us. He designed it and it is spectacular. He is clean, dependable, trustworthy, and I would hire him over and over. His pricing was less than others and I know we got a better outcome out of him than the ‘other guys’. HIRE ROBERT!!!

I had a pretty small touch-​up job in prep for a sale; Robert was able to squeeze me in on short notice and on a Saturday. He was very tidy, quick, reasonably priced and did a great job.

Very rarely do I say a business deserve a solid 5-​star rating, but given my experience with Robert Knop of Town Décor, he is absolutely deserving of such a review.
Robert exceeded my expectations by under-​promising and over-​delivering. It could not have been a better experience and the end result could not be improved upon. To say he did a fantastic job painting my master bedroom and master bathroom (inclusive of all the closets and doors) would be an understatement.
I’m a huge stickler for quality and detail — my wife thinks I can be a compulsive perfectionist. All I want is the best possible result. I insist on using the best materials and allowing ample time to avoid rushing or corner cutting. This leaves only one, major variable (that I have no control over): the skill of the painter. At the end of the day, the quality of the finished product comes down to the painter. This is exactly why I use Robert Knop. He is a master painter who produces the finest finished product possible.
Having our master bedroom and bathroom out of commission was very incontinent. Therefore, it was really important that once the project started, there couldn’t be any unanticipated or unexplained interruptions or delays. There weren’t any because Robert arrived early, worked hard all day and left late. Additionally, he was easy to work with because he was very responsive to my calls, texts and emails; as well as great about accommodating of our schedules.
Bottom line: You can find a more expensive painter, but you cannot find a better painter. This is why Robert is the only painter I will be using in the future and I strongly encourage you to hire Robert if you want your expectations exceeded too.

Robert did our place about six years ago. His work was excellent, creative, and extremely clean. We are going to sell our place so we just had him paint over the great work he did six years ago! We were sorry to see our great colors leave, especially the orange in the bedroom (even if you are not a fan of orange, the job he did was fantastic).
Robert gave us an estimate, and after seeing that we have twin babies, told us that he would use the paint that doesn’t smell bad at no extra charge. I don’t remember the name of the paint, but when we came home the odor was not there. Also there was no dust, or any paint being in the wrong place. With baby boys, we were worried about smells of chemicals etc. Nothing to worry about!
Robert is a professional, who’s talents are more than a regular painter. As we all know artists don’t make much money, so hire Robert as your artist!

Robert did a fantastic job at my house. I was looking for a painter that would go above and beyond, giving me something with unique quality while not making my place a mess (I have some nice electronic equipment and furniture that I didn’t want to be dusty). Robert delivered this and more, leaving me with true art on my wall (see picture #13 here), for a great price. I feel that got a lot more than what I paid for, which is the ultimate meaning of customer satisfaction. If you want someone who will care about your house as much as you do, I highly recommend you work with Robert.
Robert first came by to do an estimate. Once I found out about his passion of art, I asked him to come with something «cool» for the living room wall that would call less attention to the TV.
In his next visit he did a color consultation with my wife and help us to pick out the colors we wanted and that fit with our decoration. He was very patient as we looked through all the available color options from the book he brought. I requested VOC-​free paint as I don’t like the smell and he had no problem accommodating that. In this visit, he showed us 4 great options for the living room wall for us to choose from. He drew them by hand.
The quality of the paint job is the best I have seen on any wall and I’m glad it’s in my house. The smoothness was really impressive. Everyone that sees our new wall is definitely impressed. I have posted the picture here, see pic # 13. Robert also went beyond what we had agreed when he sanded and patched another wall that was not part of the work.
Overall, I’m happy to say Robert delivered on all fronts. My house was totally clean when he left, just the way I wanted it and the walls were beautiful. I will surely call Robert for all my next painting needs.
Robert is also an interior designer, and gave me many great suggestions for furntiture, décor and art without ever charging for it. He is a living example of superb customer service.

Robert Knop of Town Décor has painted every room in our home except for two. I’m sure we’ll be hiring him to paint those two remaining rooms when our kids «outgrow» the existing colors.
First and foremost, Robert is a true professional. He provided a written quote, communicated well over email and phone, and was polite and patient in person. We interviewed several painters when we moved into our Lakeview home last summer and had many frustrating experiences; we knew Robert was different when he walked through the door.
Robert is quick and detail oriented. In addition to walls and ceilings, he repainted/​sanded/​repaired some trim in our home and repainted a very large bathroom cabinet. (He has a workshop so he took the cabinet off site.)
Robert also takes the time to educate his customers (if they are interested) in why he uses certain finishes or products. He spent a lot of time with us discussing details of our basement renovation and worked within our budget to accomplish what we wanted. He clearly loves his craft.
I highly recommend Robert and hope to use him again very soon.

We have used Robert for the past five years and he is FABULOUS! His work is flawless. He and is fairly priced, polite, honest and wonderful to work with. I have referred him to several friends and neighbors and they have all been very pleased with him as well. He has been available to come with little notice for projects which has been very helpful. After dealing with several painters in Chicago, he is who I would recommend first and foremost. Hands down THE BEST!!!

It is without hesitation I am writing a review for Robert Knop and Town Décor. That beautiful green lacquered cabinet in his pics is mine and it used to be an old dingy dark brown/​wood console. After a few days at Robert’s studio, it came back a gorgeous and durable cabinet which felt brand new. Robert also painted my entire interior including a custom designed wall with beautiful stripes. The quality of painting is outstanding and Robert’s background in design was incredibly helpful as I made my color decisions. Beyond his skill and design expertise, Robert is incredibly professional and really was a pleasure to have around. Bottom line, he is awesome. You won’t find a better painter, design partner and artist.
