In Illinois, painting is not a licensed trade. However, if your project involves construction work that requires a permit, the contractor performing that work must hold a Chicago city trade license. The Department of Buildings issues permits to ensure construction work meets safety and building-code standards. You can verify a contractor's city license status through the Chicago Department of Buildings' License Lookup tool.

Before hiring a painter, determine whether your project needs a permit. Work on porches, decks, exterior walls, and interior renovations may require a permit depending on the scope and scope of work. Contact the Chicago Department of Buildings or ask your painter whether a permit applies to your specific job. Requiring a permit and having your contractor obtain one protects you by ensuring the work meets Chicago building codes.

When you call a painter, ask whether they carry insurance and whether they have experience with your type of project—interior, exterior, metal work, or deck staining. Request references and clarify what the estimate includes: prep work, materials, and labor. Many painters offer free consultations, which is a good way to discuss your budget and timeline before committing.
