What Huntley IL Homeowners Are Saying
Homeowners consistently highlight our cleanliness, communication, and professionalism. Many note that the service felt easier than expected, with fewer disruptions and better organization than past experiences with other contractors in Huntley IL. From start to finish, our focus is on delivering a smooth experience and results that last. That experience is what keeps homeowners coming back for additional painting services when the next project arises.
You should know who's coming through your door.
Inviting a crew into your home takes trust. We take that seriously. Every person who works on your project, whether a full-time employee or a vetted subcontractor, has passed a background check, completed our training program, and been approved by our office staff before setting foot on a jobsite. This page is here so you can put a face to the name before we arrive.
A Note on How We Work
You can hire almost anyone to paint your home. That is not what we are trying to be.
Our goal is relationship over transaction. We want to be the team you call back for touch-ups, the ones who give you honest information even when it means pointing you somewhere else, and the people you trust to treat your home the way they would want theirs treated.
That starts with who we hire and how we hold them accountable.
Every team member, employee or subcontractor, works from the same work orders, uses the same materials, and is held to the same expectations that have built this company over the past 20 years. Background checks are required for everyone. So is our training process. No exceptions.
“Demonstrating our Faith in action by helping people achieve their Vision for their home and business, because we take Ownership of our actions, Focus on what we do best, and deliver an Amazing experience.”
The D'Franco Team
David & Daphne
David and Daphne started D’Franco Painting & Wallpaper with a simple belief: that doing good work for good people is its own reward. Owning a business that gives back to the community, watches employees grow into skilled craftsmen and leaders, and leaves customers genuinely better off, that is what keeps them in it. Everything the company does flows from that.
Chad
Chad came to D’Franco from a disaster management background, which means he arrived already fluent in mold remediation, drywall repair, painting, wallpaper, cabinetry, and carpentry. 2025 marks his fifth year with the company. As Project Manager, he works with customers, the office, and the crews to keep every job on time, on budget, and on track for a five-star experience.
Anthony
2025 is also Anthony’s fifth year with D’Franco, and the company would not look the same without him. He has earned more Google reviews from satisfied customers than anyone else on the team, taken the initiative to become proficient in both cabinet painting and wallpaper installation, and quietly established himself as a genuine craftsman. He also creates concrete art under his own label. You can see his work at aluedesign.com and on Instagram at @alue.design. David and Daphne have several of his pieces in their home.
Nathan
Nathan is David and Daphne’s third oldest son. He has been part of the D’Franco crew since he was 17.. summers, holiday breaks, and stretches between bigger commitments. These days he joins the team on select days off from his work with the Mount Prospect Fire Department. Keeping it in the family.
Our Vetted Subcontractors
A few years ago, the idea of using independent contractors would have been a hard no. That changed after COVID made consistent staffing one of the toughest challenges in the trades.
After working through the resistance, D’Franco began carefully vetting independent contractors to help meet customer demand. It turned out to be one of the better decisions made in recent years, more flexibility, faster scheduling, and the ability to take on more projects without cutting corners on quality.
Every contractor on this list was handpicked from a pool of people who wanted to work with D’Franco. They share our standards, follow our processes, and are subject to the same local, state, and federal background checks as everyone else. The office team approves each one before they are sent to your home or business.
Jose
Jose is a dedicated, hardworking craftsman who has proven himself as a reliable part of the team. He works alongside Jonathan, and together they bring consistency and care to every project they’re assigned.
Mark
Mark is working to build his own business but wanted to keep sharpening his craft in the meantime. He found D’Franco, and it has been a great fit. He is skilled, professional, and gets better with every project.
Carlos
Carlos was a full-time D’Franco painter who went on to start his own business, exactly the kind of growth the company loves to see. When he has availability and D’Franco needs extra hands, he and his uncle step in as part of the extended crew. A trusted face doing trusted work.
Jesus
Jesus is the brother of another D’Franco subcontractor and a former employee who went on to start his own operation. Seeing former team members build their own businesses is something this company genuinely celebrates, and being able to bring them back when the work calls for it is the best of both worlds.
Luis
Luis joined the D’Franco extended team in 2023 as part of an effort to bring on more painters and keep up with growing demand. He is skilled at both interior and exterior work and has become a dependable part of the crew.
