Lake in the Hills grew up fast, and its neighborhoods tell the story. The original east side around Woods Creek Lake and Indian Trail Beach has the older cottages and ranches the town started with. West of there it's the big waves of 1990s and 2000s construction — Boulder Ridge around the country club, the subdivisions near Big Sky Park and the airport, and street after street of family two-stories off Randall Road. Most of that newer stock is on its first or second repaint cycle right now, which is why we spend so much time here.
This is one of the most HOA-dense towns we serve, and that shapes the work: approved color palettes, consistent trim standards, and neighbors who notice. We match approved colors exactly and keep the finish consistent from the first board to the last. On the weather side, these open subdivision lots take Illinois winters head-on — freeze/thaw splits the caulk around windows and doors, and south-facing trim fades and chalks under the summer sun. Our prep addresses both before any color goes on.
Tim and Josh built Level Best after years of hiring painters for their own house flips and never quite finding the crew they wanted. So the standards here are a customer's standards: full prep, straight cut lines, no paint on your concrete, and a jobsite that gets cleaned up every single day. Josh runs the crews himself. Estimates are free, we call back within 24 hours, and the work carries a 2-year workmanship warranty.

Painting in Lake in the Hills — common questions
Can you handle our HOA's color approval process?+
Yes — HOAs are a fact of life in Lake in the Hills, and we work with them all the time. We'll match an approved color exactly, provide the product and color details your board needs for the submittal, and keep the finished job inside the guidelines so you never hear about it again.
Our house was built in the late 90s and has never been repainted. What should we expect?+
You're right on schedule — builder-grade paint from that era is usually chalking, fading, and cracking at the caulk lines by now. Expect us to spend most of the job on prep: washing off the chalk, scraping failing spots, re-caulking, and priming. That's what makes the new finish last another decade instead of another few years.
Do you paint in Boulder Ridge?+
Yes, Boulder Ridge and its surrounding neighborhoods are regular territory for us. Larger homes with more trim detail just mean the prep and the cut lines matter more — which suits us fine.
