"Owner, Marty, was wonderful to work with and so was his painter, Corey. Communication was a breeze and every thing was done professionally. Both owner, Marty, and Corey, the painter, were cordial, responsive, and professional. It was a pleasure doing business with Marty. They were also cooperative since I requested the work be done in a certain way and they agreed. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again if I need more painting done. This time, the job was on the small side - painting large kitchen island cabinets - but next time, it would likely be a much bigger job. I highly recommend using this company."

When I started to practice this job. I didn’t realize the help I was giving to our boss and to the home or apartment that we were working on. To know that one day someone was going to go live there. Know every time I help a costumer I do realize that with my hard work I can achieve making somebody happy. That’s my goal in life.

I started painting when I was 17 years old. My brother and I painted a whole condo when COVID hit, and that's what put food on the table. Even though it was a hard task to accomplish, I was able to watch and learn from a lot of people. Later, I entered into a fast-paced painting company with jobs brought by CertaPro. I learned the good and bad things about painting and drywall. Throughout the years, I have learned that my customers are the very first thing that comes to mind when I do a job for them. Quality goes a long way.

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Dekalb, 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.
