"Third time I've hired Greg Sefner for painting work in my apartment. Excellent work on original, 100+ year old plaster walls and ceilings patching, painting, and addressing wallpaper bubbling off walls."

"I contacted High Quality Painting LLC to repaint my fence after severely neglecting it for many years. Most of the paint was already stripped or peeling away, and had been for years, so there was significant damage to the wood as well. They were very confident about identifying the damaged boards and replacing them as well. When they got started, they found quite a few more damaged boards, and ultimately replaced more than what was quoted at no charge. They also recommended I get the fence stained instead of repainted, which is something I had not considered, and am very glad they pointed me in that direction because I think it will help prevent many of the problems I had in the future and be much easier to maintain. The workers were professional and willing to show up on incredibly hot days in between the rainy days to get the work done. I brought up another issue with the gate of the fence rubbing when opened, and that was also fixed at no charge which I appreciated."

"I highly recommend Juan and his crew. They painted my garage and 2 story home. Juan and his crew were prompt, polite, very professional. They answered all my questions and as they worked, they addressed all the details of the project, as we had discussed. They kept their work area clean as they painted and cleaned up the work area completely when they were finished each day. They appropriately protected areas and items near the painting that they were not painting. Juan and his crew kept me up to date with the project as it progressed. Juan and his crew were a pleasure to work with."

"Chicago Painters Inc. made the entire process seem seamless - from scheduling the estimate, completing the project forms, to the actual painting day. They completed two painting projects for me and couldn't be more impressed! Everything was handled with efficiency and professionalism. Their service was absolutely top-notch. Ricardo, my assigned painter, was truly outstanding. Ricardo arrived punctually and maintained a professional demeanor throughout, and was incredibly courteous. His attention to detail and craftsmanship were evident in the final result - simply marvelous work! If you're looking for quality painting services in Chicago, I can't recommend Chicago Painters Inc. enough. Ricardo, Jim, Cheryl, Maureen and the entire team delivered an exceptional experience and beautiful results that exceeded my expectations!"

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.
