"I've used this company many times, not only for painting, but for handyman jobs. Jonathan and his crew have proven to be efficient, knowledgeable, and just good people! I have referred him to several neighbors, who have been very pleased with their work. Most recently, I decided to change a small room into my craft room and Jonathan was able to paint the room in a short time. I have never been disappointed with the work of Touchstone!"

"I've been trying to get a "small" project done in my house for years. I reached out to several other companies who either didn't respond or came for a job walk and pretty much told me they couldn't do the work. JM painting and remodeling didn't. They gave me a reasonable price and were incredibly professional while they worked. The work they did was so great you'd have no idea that it wasn't a part of the original home design. I will definitely hire them again."

"We hired John B. Ventures to help us renovate our home in Lake Villa, with drywall repair (walls/ceilings), painting and electrical troubleshooting & repairs. John not only completed the projects on time, as scheduled, but did an outstanding job in everything tasked, at a very competitive price. We were satisfied beyond all expectations with the end results, and each day everything was cleaned-up! A+"

"I've had the pleasure of working with Radek/RF Improvements for over 10+ years. He's taken projects where our schedules matched up and unfortunately due to timing there were two major projects he wasn't able to take as our schedules didn't match up and I needed it done sooner and I had to go with someone else. Lesson here being try to adjust to his schedule as he'll do it better than the other guy. Projects he took on 10+ years ago are still solid and have not needed any follow up. Projects where I went with the someone else, I've had to call him to come fix. Radek/RF Improvements prices are reasonable and it shows in his detail and explanation of work. I recommend Radek/RF Improvements whenever I can as he's a solid referral to friends and family."

"Contacted them to by phone on 7/16/21 at about 9:30 am was told the estimators were busy but was asked to send an email of photo's I had of the problem as well as my contact info and estimator would be in touch. I sent email and received a reply from Billing Mgr at 10:02 am. That is the last I heard from them. Ended up getting work done by another company that actually replied back to me (that same day). With all of the other glowing reviews of this company on Angles list, I'm surprised."

"Excellence Painting did a great job. Everything looks better than I expected and I don't have to look at holes in the walls and stains on the ceiling anymore. It all looks like new. "

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.
