Nichole and her team member, Javier, could not have been more fantastic to work with. The prepped and painted my kitchen (walls and cabinets), and living room and dining room trim and walls. They were always on time, efficient and the work itself is second to none. Nichole even helped me tweak my color and finish choices and made other helpful suggestions that resulted in beautiful results. I truly couldn't be happier.

Nichole did an amazing job with my 1900s condo in Kenwood. Not only was she incredibly knowledgable around all the quirks of an older home, but actually put care and time into ensuring whatever job she was doing was done right. From the walkthrough where she consulted on colors and executing my vision, to the end result - she was incredibly professional, communicative, and overall a joy to work with. I'll definitely be hiring her services again!

Harmony Haus did a great job painting our new apartment in Rogers Park. Nichole helped my wife pick colors, got everything done quickly, and with an excellent attention to detail. We will definitely turn to Harmony Haus again next time we need painting done.

Nichole and her team were great from start to finish. The estimate process was quick, detailed, and made it easy for us to decide to move forward with Harmony Haus. The actual job ended up taking less time than estimated and looks great. Nichole and her assistant were also great about safety provisions during COVID, wearing masks, etc., and they left the place spotless. Will definitely consider Harmony Haus again for any future paint work!
