"Angel showed up right on time. He painted 2 coats of paint in a bedroom for me. He did an excellent job and just took him apx 3 hours. That included running blowers to dry the first coat. He was very friendly and I would highly recommend him."

"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."

"Great job by Cesar! Very professional and great communication. Both my bedroom and bathroom look great! Always cleaned up after he left and vacuumed. The job took three days and it was well worth it. Cesar went way out of his way to fix things that needed to get done even without asking. Thank you Cesar"

"We retained Elite Finishes for the painting of our entire first floor and two rooms on the second floor. Prior to painting, we replaced all trim and added wood feature walls, new balusters, a large fireplace mantle, and hallway lockers. Chad provided a comprehensive estimate and timeline for completion of the work. He was very responsive and available to answer our questions. Throughout the entire process, Chad was just a text or phone call away, often responding immediately or within a few hours. Due to circumstances beyond his control, Chad and his team (Jon) got started slightly later than planned, but it worked out in such a way that the team could complete large chunks of the work all at one time. Chad and Jon did an amazing job - the lines are clean and crisp, the new trim and millwork have no brush or roller lines, the ceiling is flawless, and walls are patched perfectly. We could not be happier with the quality of the work. We also relied on the team to provide input on our color selections and correct sheens for the various areas in our home. The work took roughly 3 weeks. The team was punctual, friendly, contentious and cleaned up all areas every day they were here. By the time the job was finished, Chad and Jon were like part of the family."

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.
