"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!"

"Greg has done painting jobs for me on several occasions, most recently December 2025 when he repainted my entire 1200-square-foot apartment. He is very attentive to his customer’s needs and offers expert advice on what types of paint will work best, how to address special problems, etc. Most importantly, the quality of his work is exceptional, from his prep work to final application of the paint. Professional work in every respect. I recommend him most highly."

"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.
