"After our own attempts to conceal 30 years of smoke damage from previous owners failed, we called Dripless, and we are so glad we did! They were able to completely eradicate the awful smell that was seeping from the old paint and really brought the home back to life. We will be using them for future projects and have already recommended them to multiple friends!"

Rock River Contracting, LLC takes great pride in our quality of work and excellent customer service at a fair price. Call today for all your home Interior / Exterior Painting needs!!!

"Initially quoted that painting the interior of my home would take 4 days, maybe 5 tops. Ended up taking 14 days. We boarded our dog at a sitter for the days they were supposed to paint and he did not come paint at all 3 of those days or offer to cover the boarding expenses. Used every excuse in the book that his employees were flaking/quitting to not having a baby sitter for his kids. Many days no one came by our house at all to paint while his trailer was parked in our driveway, supplies laid out in our garage, and plastic tarps were scattered throughout our home with our furniture. To top it off did a mediocre job at best. A couple spots were left completely untouched by paint or in need of additional coat. Guests have commented that our ceiling paint looks funky. Embarrassing. I did not want to write this review about this small business but John did not answer my text when I politely asked that he come back and at least paint the spots he missed. "

Culver's Painting LLC specializes in residential & commercial exterior and interior painting. We have built a reputation as the premier painting company in Southeastern Wisconsin. Our focus is on high quality painting with excellent & professional service

"This review is for est. no. 13342 and the work performed on July 1, 2025. Elliot Lund and Alex Biggan will furnish endless painting spin talk. What you will "not" get is the important surface preparation work specified in the estimate. You also will "not" get a good quality paint work. If you want a painting job that looks like it had been done by your neighbor's 10 year old son, then Culver's Painting is the company for you."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Colgate, WI

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.
