"Have had two projects done with Jauch Painting, and with both projects have been beyond thrilled with the process, professionalism and results. First time was through our insurer after water had damaged our kitchen walls and cabinets. Dave, Dino and Jen, came in and took care of everything. Professional and patient with our questions and requests, made the year of dealing with insurance and contractors a distant memory, as they were beyond helpful and professional, making the room look better than had even before the damage. Enjoyed the experience so much, contacted Brian again, when we were looking to get our garage exterior as well as all of the wood trim on our two story painted and stained. Dave, Dino, Jack, David and Larry were just as incredible there as had been with the interior. Took care of everything, fixed some very rotten wood areas, and were amused by my duct tape repairs that they diligently fixed. Out of room, or I would write more, Highly recommend!"

"Very happy with Sadot and his family business. He personally answers the phone 24/7 ( not a call center or 3rd party ) You deal directly with the owner. He communicates every day. He power washed old stain off, fixed and repaired bad and rotten wood, re-stained the desk. He followed price quote, he completed in time frame is originally stated, Workmanship of repairs and staining was PERFECT..these guys ( all family members ) are perfectionist, made sure I was a ratified customer, and his price was VERY REASONABLE, The next time I need anything related to painting, or exterior wood repair and finishing, he will be my first and maybe only call because I trust him, and I don't trust most people, but he earned my trust and confidence."

"We moved to a new home and were looking for a painter on a emergency basis before moving our furniture. Yolis painting services did excellent job on the same day we got estimate and work was done with the highest quality. We hired them for our second home too. Next we will hire them to paint our entire home. I would definitely recommend Yolis painting services."

"Fantastic experience working with Guillermo and MNM Painting. They were prompt, friendly, and offered good advice on the project. The work was done far faster than I expected and I'm happy with the results. We had a board replaced on our siding, and wanted to just paint and match the board to the building without also repainting the entire building. It was a small, weird and high up project (3rd floor) and we're happy with how it came out. Our house no longer looks like a construction zone!"

"Chris and crew arrived right on time, went right to work, were pleasant and helpful. They did a fantastic job in great time, added an additional room to the project at our request and at a reasonable price. They took down drapes and blinds and put them up again afterwards. Did a fantastic job of cleanup too. Highly recommended!!"

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