"I ran into Rick one day at Home Depot and it was perfect timing. I had just purchased an historic home in Lebanon and the high ceilings were too much for me to take on. Rick came out, measured and got back to me quickly with an estimate. His "A Team" came out every day at 7:30am and finished every day at about 3:30pm and everything was neatly put away. I couldn't be more happy than the work they did. Every room was painted (ornate trim, doors and all) with perfection! Beautiful work on ceilings, walls, doors and trim!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Alton, IL

You'll need about two gallons of paint to fully cover your kitchen cabinets with two coats. Since each gallon covers around 350 square feet, it's a good idea to measure your cabinets or use a paint calculator to determine exactly how much you'll need. Starting with one or two coats of primer and then applying two to three layers of paint will give you a flawless, durable finish. Using high-quality paint can reduce the number of coats needed and provide a long-lasting finish.

The best type of paint for your kitchen cabinets is latex paint because it applies evenly and creates a durable finish. If you're painting wood surfaces and need extra adhesion, acrylic paint is a great alternative. We don't recommend oil-based paint for residential use due to its VOC emissions. For finishes, go with eggshell, semi-gloss, gloss, or satin, as matte finishes aren't as durable or as easy to clean.

The best method for painting kitchen cabinets is spray painting because it gives you a smooth, even finish without brush strokes. While brushes and rollers can work, they often leave marks and require more effort. If you're aiming for a professional look, spray painting is your best bet to enhance the beauty and durability of your cabinets.
