For 26 years, Mike Felten and his wife Mary have called Yorkville, Illinois, home. Long before he launched Five Star Painting of Yorkville, Mike was already the kind of person who understood what it meant to show up, do the work right, and stand behind the result.

 

Mike's professional path ran through manufacturing and distribution facility management, where coordinating with tradespeople was a regular part of the job. Add in several years he spent working in the trades himself during his younger days, and it becomes clear that his move into the painting business wasn't a leap into the unknown. It was a natural next step, shaped by decades of hands-on experience. Still, the decision to take that step wasn't without risk. After experiencing corporate downsizing twice, Mike and Mary made a bold choice: they invested their retirement savings, spent about a year searching for the right fit, and launched Five Star Painting of Yorkville 17 years ago. That leap of faith has grown into one of the area's most trusted painting companies.

 

The Felten family's roots in this part of Illinois run deep. Mike was born and raised in Aurora, and the family name is quite literally on the map, with Felten Road standing as a quiet nod to their long history in the area. Today, Mike and Mary's daughter Megan, her husband Chris, and their two daughters all live nearby, keeping the family close and the community ties strong. When Mike says his roots are here, he means it in every sense.

 

Five Star Painting of Yorkville offers full-service interior and exterior painting for both residential and commercial clients throughout the greater Yorkville and Aurora area. The crew handles drywall patching and repairs and minor carpentry work as well, making it a practical one-call solution for homeowners tackling a refresh or a more involved project. Every painter on the team is a full-time professional, uniformed, fully insured, and experienced, not a rotating cast of day laborers or subcontractors.

 

What separates Five Star Painting of Yorkville from the competition comes down to how the business is run from the very first phone call. Clients can choose their own preferred time for a free, same-day, written quote, not a vague ballpark estimate, and the team shows up on time, every time. Higher-end paint products are standard, not an upgrade. The work is completed exactly as outlined in writing. And the final payment isn't due until the customer is satisfied.

 

"You do get what you pay for," Mike says. "Get three prices and look not just at the price, but the overall value."

 

That philosophy has earned Five Star Painting of Yorkville hundreds of five-star Google reviews, along with strong ratings across the BBB, Thumbtack, Angi, and Yelp, plus a near-perfect Net Promoter Score drawn from independent surveys across thousands of customers. That kind of reputation doesn't come from a slick marketing campaign. It comes from 17 years of showing up, doing the job right, and treating neighbors the way you'd want to be treated yourself.
