"We have done several painting jobs with Jorge and would hire him again in the future! Very detailed, trustworthy and knowledgeable about finishes and products to use for your projects. Also, very responsive to calls and text messages and shows up ready every time we schedule work. All the painting work that Jorge has done for us, interior and exterior, looks fantastic."

"The project was to paint exterior trim, replace rotted trim in some spots, and replace 3 gable vents. I was very pleased with their promptness, hard work and quality. Would definitely use them again for other services and would highly recommend getting a quote from them for your project."

"Very professional in all aspects and would highly recommend hiring Excellence Painting for any type of paint job. They are prompt and responsive. They listen to how you would like the paint job complete and provide you with an accurate quote. After they are completed with the project they do a walk-thru to ensure you are pleased with the work. They are never in a rush to finish the job. They take their time to ensure the work is profession and meets the customerâ s expectation. We hired them for multiple small-projects around the house and would hire them in a heartbeat."

"I got 4 quotes and met 4 painters to paint a kitchen and bedroom in my condo. I knew I would hire John early in his quote as he seemed genuine, fair, and knowledgeable compared to everyone else. I had high expectations based on my initial impression, and John exceeded them all. John will now be my go-to for painting projects and who I will go out of my way to recommend to friends and family. I highly recommend JK Painting Services."

"Working with JHR was a very smooth process. I had a leak in my ceiling and plumbers came out to cut a hole in the ceiling and repair the pipe. I sent Juan a photo of the hole in drywall via email, and they sent back a quote within a few hours. Their quote was in a professional format, and was the cheapest of the 3 quotes I received. I ended up hiring them and Rogelio came out on a Saturday to complete the work. The final product was beautiful, and it looked like there was never a hole there in the first place. They also repainted the ceiling which now looks way better than it did before! I will definitely be hiring them for future repair projects and painting (which is their specialty)."

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