"Working with Greg was seamless from start to finish. He was professional, responsive, and gave good advice on the project. Greg and his partner Dan painted my entire finished basement. They were incredibly detail-oriented. Not only was the paint flawless, but they also did a lot of work patching holes and smoothing out the walls to ensure the best possible result. They left the place cleaner than they found it. I couldn't have asked for a better service for such a large project. I would 100% hire Sefner Painting again in the future."

"I highly recommend Francisco and his Excellence Painting team for any painting projects. Francisco just finished staining my back yard deck and it looks fantastic. I have received many compliments. 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."

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