"Derek was prompt at coming out to give us an estimate. I was impressed when he pointed out the smoke on the ceiling in the family room and stressed they will prime those areas before painting. He was the only painter who estimated the job to point out that situation. He and his crew were prompt, friendly and very careful to protect our items. Everything was covered in plastic to prevent paint from getting on items or carpet. Also it stopped sanding dust from spreading throughout the house. We are very pleased with Derek and his crew .. they did an outstanding job. I would recommend them highly."

"Very happy with Sadot and his family business. He personally answers the phone 24/7 ( not a call center or 3rd party ) You deal directly with the owner. He communicates every day. He power washed old stain off, fixed and repaired bad and rotten wood, re-stained the desk. He followed price quote, he completed in time frame is originally stated, Workmanship of repairs and staining was PERFECT..these guys ( all family members ) are perfectionist, made sure I was a ratified customer, and his price was VERY REASONABLE, The next time I need anything related to painting, or exterior wood repair and finishing, he will be my first and maybe only call because I trust him, and I don't trust most people, but he earned my trust and confidence."

"We could not be more thrilled or satisfied with the quality of work from the team @ Sharp Edge Paint and Remodel. We recently purchased a home in Oswego and needed a quote for painting our entire first floor + 2 bedrooms AND our kitchen cabinets. Within 2 MINUTES of our bid on Angis list, Derek contacted my fiance and came out within 2 hours to provide a quote. Derek was so humble, reassuring, professional, and provided us a quote we felt good about. Hed had a job that canceled and so his crew was able to start the very next day. He wrapped up our project within 4 days and even went above and beyond when we had changed our minds on which secondary bedroom to paint, even after hed done the one we originally asked for. He took it in stride, repainted the room back to white and quickly got to work on the revised room. We made a number of last minute asks and none were too complex for Derek, he happily accommodated us. Upon finish, he went above and beyond and even came back to install bumpers on our cabinets so they wouldnt slam. We didnt even ask for that! Derek also came back to help us mount 3 large TVs, 3 big mirrors and he even helped us rewire a broken canned light in our kitchen. We spent so much time with Derek and his team that we missed them when they stopped coming lol anyway, the quality of the work is 5+ stars but the quality of the team is off the charts. Dont make the mistake of NOT booking them for your next project. It would be your loss."

"Owner, Marty, was wonderful to work with and so was his painter, Corey. Communication was a breeze and every thing was done professionally. Both owner, Marty, and Corey, the painter, were cordial, responsive, and professional. It was a pleasure doing business with Marty. They were also cooperative since I requested the work be done in a certain way and they agreed. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again if I need more painting done. This time, the job was on the small side - painting large kitchen island cabinets - but next time, it would likely be a much bigger job. I highly recommend using this company."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Aurora, 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.
