"We have done several painting jobs with Jorge and would hire him again in the future! Very detailed, trustworthy and knowledgeable about finishes and products to use for your projects. Also, very responsive to calls and text messages and shows up ready every time we schedule work. All the painting work that Jorge has done for us, interior and exterior, looks fantastic."

"Derek was prompt at coming out to give us an estimate. I was impressed when he pointed out the smoke on the ceiling in the family room and stressed they will prime those areas before painting. He was the only painter who estimated the job to point out that situation. He and his crew were prompt, friendly and very careful to protect our items. Everything was covered in plastic to prevent paint from getting on items or carpet. Also it stopped sanding dust from spreading throughout the house. We are very pleased with Derek and his crew .. they did an outstanding job. I would recommend them highly."

"Ken and Dan from Performance Painting were absolutely exceptional! They gave me excellent guidance--what to do about my rotting wooden deck--were fair and reasonable in their estimates, meticulous in their work down to the tiniest detail, and a delight to work with. When my deck stairs proved to be completely rotten and had to be rebuilt from scratch, they worked 12 hour days to keep the project on the original timeline. I highly recommend them for any of your projects. You won't be disappointed."

Customers say: True professional

"I wanted to get my house painted, wood stained and a couple leaks in the ceiling fixed. I reached out on Angi where they recommended MNM. I'm really happy that I decided to go with them. They have really good reviews and I saw some of their pictures on their website. Guillermo was super responsive and they started the project within days. I've lived in this house for 10 years and have done nothing with these walls so they had a lot of work to do. I'm so extremely happy with the outcome. They transformed this house. Guillermo and Sammy were both so kind and professional. If I had anything that I noticed that needed a touch-up Guillermo came back in about a week and fixed everything. Very trustworthy, Great price and extremely professional. They will be my go-to for any painting projects moving forward. Thank you both so much for all your hard work!"

"Francisco and Judy were amazing. They were very knowledgeable and patient in helping me to decide on which stain to use to refinish my cabinets. Their work was professional and they left the job site clean. I would not hesitate in calling them again."

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