"THE BEST experience with a contractor EVER! We’ve owned 7 houses and have hired numerous contractors to do a variety of work, this was by far the smoothest, most thorough job we’ve ever had done. The communication, preparation and scheduling made us feel at ease with the project. Everyone of the workers and managers of the job showed up on time and got our job done on the specific schedule we were given. The quality of the work was top notch! The entire team was a pleasure to work with!"

"I have been very satisfied with the work performed and finished areas look great. Mike Fuche (co-owner/estimator) is responsive, easy to work with, and quotes fair prices for the work involved. It’s great to have a contractor that I can turn to with trust and rely upon to take care of the job timely and professionally."

"I had my interior painted recently and I was really impressed with the whole process. They showed up on time, kept everything clean, and worked efficiently without cutting corners. Every detail was handled with care, from protecting my furniture and floors to making sure the edges and trim looked perfect. The walls turned out amazing and completely changed the look of my home. The colors are even, smooth, and vibrant, and you can tell the job was done with real professionalism. What stood out most to me was how easy they made everything. Communication was clear (The most important part!) If you’re looking for reliable painters who do high quality work, I highly recommend them. I will definitely be using them again in the 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.
