Customers say: Quality work

"We have used JM Painting and Construction on several projects throughout the years, including building our back patio, exterior staining and interior painting. Antonio and his father are honest, fair, and dependable. They always show up on time when they are scheduled and are very transparent with their pricing, and communicate any issues if they arise, so there aren't any surprises. They complete all projects to our satisfaction, and everything is done with the highest quality. We are very happy with the work they have done for us over the years and will continue using JM Painting for future projects."

"I interviewed 4 painting contractors to paint my 1700 sq. ft. basement. The final interview was from a Home Advisors reference: "Sodat De la Paz", out of Elgin, Illinois. After reading his reviews and meeting him in person, I was very impressed, and hired him with confidence. It was easy to see that he was a dedicated professional with a good amount of experience and a warm and friendly personality. It was the best decision I made. Not only was Sodat's quote well within the cost of the other bids, but he completed the work (two primer coats and two finished coats of three different colored paints for all walls, ceiling, and soffits) in just over two full days (as quoted). He is also committed to his word as much as his craft. He arrived on site every day as scheduled and worked a full 8 to 10hr. day, and his work is exceptional. I couldn't be more pleased with the final outcome. It looks beautiful. He is indeed a perfectionist in his craft. So, if you have a new painting project or are in need of some drywall repair work, give â Sodat De la Paz's Painting Service" a call. You won't be sorry. I only wish that Home Advisors rating system was higher than just 5 out of 5. I rated my experience using â Sodat De la Paz's Painting Serviceâ a full 5 out of 5. Somehow that seems inadequate. Leonard Bell Elgin, Illinois"

"We hired HPO to paint the entire house, all doors, windows and trim. Eric’s team was professional and thorough for the month long project and took the time with us to get the job done right. Drywall repairs were made and partial walls installed - great quality. Will rehire for our next project."

"We recently hired Casey and his team for help painting 4 rooms in a new condo. He was flexible on the package provided and worked with us to refine the scope of the project based on what we could afford. The job they did was fantastic. Lots of intricate trimwork and painting around fixtures/cabinets. 10/10 would recommend and hire again."

"Very professional in all aspects and would highly recommend hiring Excellence Painting for any type of paint job. They are prompt and responsive. They listen to how you would like the paint job complete and provide you with an accurate quote. After they are completed with the project they do a walk-thru to ensure you are pleased with the work. They are never in a rush to finish the job. They take their time to ensure the work is profession and meets the customerâ s expectation. We hired them for multiple small-projects around the house and would hire them in a heartbeat."

"Juan did an awesome job painting!! He went out of his way to do fix a few spots on the wall such as nail pops and corner tape trim coming off on the corners in a couple spots. This was more than expected. I would recommend him to anyone looking for quality painting."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Arlington Heights, 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.
