Our Team

Our team brings real-world experience and pride to every project. Whether we’re repainting a living room or refreshing a home’s exterior or anything in between, you can count on someone every step of the way.

Austin Sykes

I'm grateful for the opportunity to build Blackwell Painting right here in our community, and I look forward to helping make your home a place you're even more proud of.

Outside of painting, most of my time is spent with my beautiful wife, Marisa, and our wonderful daughter, Thea.

I'm a lifelong Chicago Cubs fan, enjoy the UFC, and will take just about any excuse to fire up the grill. I'm also a big fan of Shark Week and history podcasts.

Owner

Marisa Sykes

Being part of Blackwell Painting means a lot to me because it’s something Austin and I are building together, right here in the community we call home. I help with the day-to-day business side of things, from communicating with customers to keeping everything organized behind the scenes.

When I'm not working., my ideal weekend is a coffee date with my family of 3. I love being a mom, a good plate of pasta, reality TV, and have always enjoyed reading and writing.
