The 3rd Generation Painting Story

The founders of 3rd Gen painting, Andre and Matt, first met while in college working as managers for a construction company. They were responsible for growing and starting multiple new markets for the nation’s largest painting and construction firm.

After a few years working together they both went off on their own to open separate businesses. Matt went on to franchise a new division for the same company. Conversely, Andre went off to continue the legacy of his mother’s cleaning company, Sophia’s Cleaning Service, after her sudden passing.

Consequently, both Andre and Matt used their respective new roles to hone their skills as business owners in and out of the home renovation industry.

Eventually, Matt decided to move back to the Midwest. Shortly after moving back home, Matt asked Andre if he would be interested in starting up a new construction company together, on their terms.

A New Generation of Painting and Remodeling Contractor

The rest is history. Andre and Matt decided to name their company 3rd Gen Painting and Remodeling, to honor the past generations of family members that had worked and owned businesses in the trades.

Concurrently, the 3rd Generation name stands as an evolution from the typical painting or remodeling contractor. Simply put, 3rd Gen Painting looks to completely disrupt the status quo in the contracting industry.

The company aims to provide a new level of customer service and phase the “business as usual” tactics employed by the typical painting or remodeling contractor. 3rd Gen’s award-winning system is tailored around the customer experience and provides unmatched value to our customer & employees alike. 2018 was a marquee year for us and we are excited for you to experience the 3rd Gen difference in 2019 and beyond!

Andre and Matt come from strong family values and a reputation for integrity and hard work.
Matt’s grandfather built his own construction company while Andre’s mother built her own home cleaning business as a Polish immigrant and was a teacher in Brookfield, IL.

Matt lives in Madison with his wife, Cassie, and their black Lab, Tucker, and manages the Madison, Wisconsin division of 3rd Gen.

Andre lives in Wicker Park with his wife, Carol, and their Mini-Australian shepherd, Benny, and manages the Western Springs, IL division of 3rd Gen Painting and Remodeling.

As an important side note: there is an ongoing battle between Matt & Andre regarding which of their dogs are indeed the cutest (Tucker pictured above on the left and Benny on the right). Certainly, the jury is out so we will let you, the people, decide.

Andre, Matt, & the 3rd Gen team are excited for the future as the company has expanded exponentially over the past year.

Their goal for 2018 was to become the #1 best rated painting company in each of their respective locations. Let’s see how they did as of December 16th, 2018:
