Why choose OnDemand Painters?
We're not a franchise. We're not a lead gen service. When you call OnDemand Painters, you're calling Chris directly.
Meet Chris Heerdegen
OnDemand Painters has been in business since 2019, but I've been in the industry since 2001. I grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago, attended college in Champaign/Urbana, and met my wife in St. Louis. Now we split time between there and our other locations.
I am the owner, the sales rep, and the production coordinator. When you call, it's directly to my cell. I manage multiple crews and they do the tough part: a great paint job. With my crews handling the painting, I'm free to actually return calls, messages, and emails promptly. It also means I can organize and hold my crews to showing up when we say they will.
If I'm not working, I'm training in Brazilian jiu jitsu or taking care of my 6 kids. Yes, 6. The 4th turned out to be triplets. This is why you'll find me responding at all hours, so reach out any time.
Doing the type of job that earns a review from you is very important to me. I communicate quickly and effectively, and we try very hard to make sure you are happy with the finished product.

"We are so happy we chose OnDemand Painters for our home. Matt was fantastic to work with. His communication was consistent, timely, and made the entire process feel seamless. The finished paint job looks amazing, and you can really tell they care about the quality of their work. The new color has completely changed how I feel about our home."
Tiffany Jones

"Chris was great to work with up front. Competitive, easy, efficient, responsive, and kept me up to date along the way. Jarrod and his team were great to work with on paint day. They took the time they needed to provide a good quality outcome, cleaned up well after themselves, and we walked the project at the end to review any comments. Would recommend this team."

"Very professional company that responds to questions quickly. Darvin painted most of our upstairs, and we chose multiple colors. The transition lines between colors were perfect. OnDemand is a great company for either interior or exterior painting."
