"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."

"Alex and his team did an unbelievable job on our kitchen. Repainting and refacing worn black cabinets with frosted glass and outdated hardware, Alex’s team painted our cabinets white, replaced panels and switched out hardware. The result is stunning! It’s hard to believe we were even considering replacing the cabinets. Additionally Alex was a complete joy to work with. He is kind, fastidious and has a shrewd eye for detail. We are thrilled with our new kitchen!"

"I have been very satisfied with the work performed and finished areas look great. Mike Fuche (co-owner/estimator) is responsive, easy to work with, and quotes fair prices for the work involved. It’s great to have a contractor that I can turn to with trust and rely upon to take care of the job timely and professionally."

"Everything was completed as promised. When we had concerns or when we found small areas that were missed, they returned to touch up. Ray was very helpful to explain the different types of paint used. Painters were polite and friendly. We rehired them to come back and paint our office shelves and desk. We painted all of our dark wood to white and it looks great. We will definitely hire them again."

"Jorge was great. He went above and beyond. I needed an aluminum garage repainted. Other companies wanted to just pressure wash it and paint. Jorge sanded to bare metal, primed it then repainted. Highly recommended. Out of 10 stars, he’s a 12."

Customers say: Quick response

"I wanted to get my house painted, wood stained and a couple leaks in the ceiling fixed. I reached out on Angi where they recommended MNM. I'm really happy that I decided to go with them. They have really good reviews and I saw some of their pictures on their website. Guillermo was super responsive and they started the project within days. I've lived in this house for 10 years and have done nothing with these walls so they had a lot of work to do. I'm so extremely happy with the outcome. They transformed this house. Guillermo and Sammy were both so kind and professional. If I had anything that I noticed that needed a touch-up Guillermo came back in about a week and fixed everything. Very trustworthy, Great price and extremely professional. They will be my go-to for any painting projects moving forward. Thank you both so much for all your hard work! "

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