Since 1991- Our Story

History

D.J.’s Painting and Remodeling. has served central Illinois for over 35 years now, changing residential and commercial spaces from ordinary to extraordinary.

 

It all began in 1991, when David Juarez founded D.J.’s Painting in Bloomington–Normal, Illinois, while attending Illinois State University. David drew upon prior painting and management experience from the Chicago suburbs to launch a painting business known for valuing individuals and environments and how they influence each other. Soon after, D.J.’s Painting expanded its services to include remodeling and project management services to meet growing customer requests. It has always been David’s goal to pass the torch to team members who have worked within the company for years and formed the level of care and commitment that David himself possesses.

 

Today, D.J.’s Painting and Remodeling. is a full-service painting, remodeling, and design business with highly qualified experts and designers to bring each customer’s dream space to life. David was able to accomplish his goal in passing ownership within the company. D.J.’s Painting and Remodeling is now owned by Lindsay Oriold, Kris Walker, and Kate Jacobson. All are committed to carrying on the legacy of the company.  By specializing in both color and style, D.J.’s Painting and Remodeling finds the extraordinary in every space, delivered with our signature customer care and satisfaction.

Our mission is to transform spaces with inspirational colors and extraordinary designs through our unparalleled creativity and craftsmanship. We exceed customer expectations with attention to detail and outstanding service. We fulfill customer visions with unparalleled creativity and craftsmanship. We establish pride of ownership and involvement with enjoyable experiences and open communication.

Our goal:

 

  • Be the leader in our industry through quality workmanship and unbeatable customer service
  • Be unmatched in giving back to our community
  • Be a company where employees can grow, feel at home, and enjoy coming to each day

 

We take ordinary to extraordinary for customers throughout Central Illinois, including Bloomington–Normal, Champaign–Urbana, and Peoria.
