"This company is absolutely fantastic. Very competitive on pricing and their work is flawless. We had several rooms painted, probably at least 1500 square feet in total. They also fixed several drywall issues we had and repaired numerous cracks. I have not found one missed spot or one sloppy spot. This was not an easy job either, as we had some difficult areas to paint, including a large Pantry in our Kitchen that already had a bunch of built-ins. The crew worked tirelessly and were extremely clean. My wife and I have used other painters in the past with very mixed results, so we can truly appreciate the fine work that was done on this project. Highly Recommend!"

"We found Las Melas on The Nextdoor App and they were highly recommended. I now see why. I reached out to them with what was meant to be a small kitchen ceiling paint job. They got back to us quickly and agreed to come out for a quote. After discussing the project we agreed on expanding the project to painting the entire first floor of our house. They gave us a fair price and we agreed to start in 2 weeks. Due to bad weather, they were able to start our house project even earlier than expected. They finished painting in 3 days! They do not mess around. We plan to use Las Melas for future projects as well. If you go with Las Melas you will not regret it."

"Very professional in all aspects and would highly recommend hiring Excellence Painting for any type of paint job. They are prompt and responsive. They listen to how you would like the paint job complete and provide you with an accurate quote. After they are completed with the project they do a walk-thru to ensure you are pleased with the work. They are never in a rush to finish the job. They take their time to ensure the work is profession and meets the customerâ s expectation. We hired them for multiple small-projects around the house and would hire them in a heartbeat."

"Luis was great and did a terrific job fixing my damaged ceiling due to water leakage from my roof. After fixing the ceiling, he takes his time sanding and painting my ceiling. My ceiling now looks great. I give Luis 2 million stars for being a great person, a great professional, and a magician of the art of how he does such wonderful work. I will call on him for all my future home improvement projects for my home. Thank you, Luis."

"I got 4 quotes and met 4 painters to paint a kitchen and bedroom in my condo. I knew I would hire John early in his quote as he seemed genuine, fair, and knowledgeable compared to everyone else. I had high expectations based on my initial impression, and John exceeded them all. John will now be my go-to for painting projects and who I will go out of my way to recommend to friends and family. I highly recommend JK Painting Services."

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