MNemonic Design is locally owned and operated out of Saint Paul, MN. We are dedicated to our craft and take exceptional care of our customers. We offer free estimates and would love to hear of your upcoming project. Call or click for an estimate today Specializing in all forms of Interior and exterior painting and enameling, small drywall, popcorn removal and ceiling texture.

"Highly recommend. We were looking for a painter for the stucco (upper) portion of our 2-story home and our two car garage. During the bid process Jimmy was impressively responsive to (and patient with) our questions. He provided the most detailed written breakdown of his proposed costs and was thorough and authoritative in his answers. We had to coordinate timing with a roofing company and a gutter company, and during the lead up to our project he remained responsive to planning communications. He not only stuck to his proposed schedule but worked with understanding and good will around difficulties caused by one of the other companies' failure to meet their own schedule. His work was thorough and professional and he remained responsive all the way through the final touch ups and cleanup. Would hire again and may have need to do so again soon for another project."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Lake Elmo, MN

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.
