"Derek and crew are a step above most contractors. They do a great job, offer it at a reasonable price, start on time and listen to you throughout the process. I didnt know these were even a possible with my previous contractor experiences. Derek is a hard working and eager to make a name for his business. He will have our business moving forward as he painted, updated the bathroom and changed some fixtures. Thanks, the project looks great!"

"Kyle drywalled our garage ceiling, repaired the walls and painted the garage. Kyle patiently worked through many of my delays. He was always quick to communicate and professional. There were a number of challenges with our project and he resolved all of them. Great warranty on his work as well. Can’t recommend enough!"

"They came when they said they would come. They powerwashed the deck one day, two days later they sanded and stained it. After that they did touch ups. They were very professional workers."

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.
