"The work done by Touchstone was outstanding! Not only was the work outstanding, but every member of the staff was extremely professional, considerate and courtesy. They paid attention to details and did it the correct way. Touchstone not only painted three rooms for us, but they completely remodeled our master bathroom. I would highly recommend Touchstone for painting and remodeling projects. Their workmanship is outstanding!"

Customers say: Quality work

"I've been trying to get a "small" project done in my house for years. I reached out to several other companies who either didn't respond or came for a job walk and pretty much told me they couldn't do the work. JM painting and remodeling didn't. They gave me a reasonable price and were incredibly professional while they worked. The work they did was so great you'd have no idea that it wasn't a part of the original home design. I will definitely hire them again."

"John is not an ethical person. He doesn't care about the client or the job, only wants to make sure he covers his butt. For my job he actually hired a handyman! John is not a handyman. He's all about writing up the contract and buying the materials. He planned to finish trimming out a window in a shower using wood, with no water proofing. I googled some waterproof solutions, but because they were more complicated and intense, he wanted out. Do not hire this guy, he could care less about you and your project!"

"THE BEST experience with a contractor EVER! We’ve owned 7 houses and have hired numerous contractors to do a variety of work, this was by far the smoothest, most thorough job we’ve ever had done. The communication, preparation and scheduling made us feel at ease with the project. Everyone of the workers and managers of the job showed up on time and got our job done on the specific schedule we were given. The quality of the work was top notch! The entire team was a pleasure to work with!"

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