"What a great job!, My deck looks absolutely beautiful. Antonio, Juan and Edgar (a wonderful family business) stripped, power washed and sanded my cedar deck down to Bare-wood and replaced all the bad wood. They stained all the railing with three coats of white stain and the deck floor and railing tops with 3 coats of dark stain. Juan designed a beautiful privacy wall.. Great care was taken to protect my patio furniture in Grill and house. I plan on having them back to paint my house in the spring! I highly recommend JM painting and remodeling!"

"We hired HPO to paint the entire house, all doors, windows and trim. Eric’s team was professional and thorough for the month long project and took the time with us to get the job done right. Drywall repairs were made and partial walls installed - great quality. Will rehire for our next project."

His attention to detail and professionalism stood out. On top of it all, he is a great guy that puts customer service first. I look forward to working with him again."

"Our work was all inside. The painters completed all work in an efficient and timely manner. They were friendly and thoroughly professional.

I definitely recommend them and will use them for additional needs in tge future."

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