"Carlos and his crew paid tremendous attention to detail, meticulously preparing the house for paint and professionally working to complete the project in a thorough and timely way. Carlos provided oversight at every step and worked hard to make sure our communication was good as we had very specific ideas about how our 4-color scheme was carried out. As the project approached completion, Carlos made several circuits of the house with me to make certain that every last detail was addressed. I would definitely retain Carlos again and encourage others to engage him when planning future projects."

"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."

Customers say: True professional

"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!"

"Very professional in all aspects and would highly recommend hiring Excellence Painting for any type of paint job. They are prompt and responsive. They listen to how you would like the paint job complete and provide you with an accurate quote. After they are completed with the project they do a walk-thru to ensure you are pleased with the work. They are never in a rush to finish the job. They take their time to ensure the work is profession and meets the customerâ s expectation. We hired them for multiple small-projects around the house and would hire them in a heartbeat."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Crystal Lake, 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.
