"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."

Customers say: Quality work

"We have used JM Painting and Construction on several projects throughout the years, including building our back patio, exterior staining and interior painting. Antonio and his father are honest, fair, and dependable. They always show up on time when they are scheduled and are very transparent with their pricing, and communicate any issues if they arise, so there aren't any surprises. They complete all projects to our satisfaction, and everything is done with the highest quality. We are very happy with the work they have done for us over the years and will continue using JM Painting for future projects."

"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."

"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+"

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.
