"The work done by Touchstone was outstanding! Not only was the work outstanding, but every member of the staff was extremely professional, considerate and courtesy. They paid attention to details and did it the correct way. Touchstone not only painted three rooms for us, but they completely remodeled our master bathroom. I would highly recommend Touchstone for painting and remodeling projects. Their workmanship is outstanding!"

"We hired Greg through Angi and couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was on time every day, communicated clearly throughout the project, and kept everything clean and organized. Extremely professional yet easy to talk to, he struck the perfect balance between being personable and staying focused on the job. The quality of the work really shows—highly recommended!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Des Plaines, 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.
