"I highly recommend High Quality Painting for any drywall repair or painting project. I contacted several highly rated drywall and painting companies to get a quote for this project and only High Quality Painting was responsive. Salvador quickly got in touch with me after my request, promptly came out to my house to review the needed work and provide an estimate, and then quickly got the job scheduled and done. They arrive on time when they say they will arrive. They do an excellent job and all the work they did was outstanding - I couldn't be more happy and would definitely hire them again!"

"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."

"We hired Performance Painters to paint our kitchen, kitchen cabinets and family room. Ken offered us a very reasonable price for the job. He is a professional painter who pays close attention to details. We cannot be happier with his work. My cabinets that were old and outdated look brand new along with the entire kitchen/family room area. Ken is now my go-to for all my painting projects. We definitely recommend Performance Painters."

"The team at Chicago Painters was great from start to finish. They were very communicative, and helped diagnose what exactly needed to be done in order to properly assess the project and do a great job. We had a wallpaper disaster in the nursery/bedroom and the walls were not in great shape to be painted. Chicago Painters were meticulous in repairing the affected walls and the attention to detail on the paint job was terrific. It was a huge load off our back as we prep for our upcoming newborn. Thank you for your help!"

Small jobs welcome

"Review of Excellent Bathroom Renovation Services We recently had our bathroom renovated by a fantastic company, and I couldnâ t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, their professionalism and dedication were evident. The team was incredibly hardworking, consistently putting in long hours, often working 8-10 hours a day to ensure everything was perfect. Their commitment to the job was impressive, and they maintained this high level of effort throughout the entire project. Jasmine, who managed our project, was always available to answer any questions or address concerns. Her responsiveness was a huge relief and ensured that we were always in the loop about the progress. Financially, they were very accommodating. They worked with us to find a payment plan that we could afford, which was immensely helpful and took a lot of stress out of the process. One of the standout aspects of their service was their willingness to go the extra mile. They handled several unforeseen issues that cropped up during the renovation without any hassle, ensuring that everything was completed to the highest standard. The end result was a beautifully renovated bathroom that exceeded our expectations. The project was completed right on schedule, just as they had promised. The entire experience was smooth and headache-free, making it a pleasure to work with them. I would not hesitate to work with this company again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality renovation work. Their dedication, flexibility, and excellent customer service truly set them apart."

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