Rock River Contracting, LLC takes great pride in our quality of work and excellent customer service at a fair price. Call today for all your home Interior / Exterior Painting needs!!!

"Initially quoted that painting the interior of my home would take 4 days, maybe 5 tops. Ended up taking 14 days. We boarded our dog at a sitter for the days they were supposed to paint and he did not come paint at all 3 of those days or offer to cover the boarding expenses. Used every excuse in the book that his employees were flaking/quitting to not having a baby sitter for his kids. Many days no one came by our house at all to paint while his trailer was parked in our driveway, supplies laid out in our garage, and plastic tarps were scattered throughout our home with our furniture. To top it off did a mediocre job at best. A couple spots were left completely untouched by paint or in need of additional coat. Guests have commented that our ceiling paint looks funky. Embarrassing. I did not want to write this review about this small business but John did not answer my text when I politely asked that he come back and at least paint the spots he missed. "

We are your one stop shop for any of your interior and exterior remodeling and renovation needs. With almost 10 years of general contracting experience, we are here to address all your remodeling, painting, floors, drywall and more. Give us a call today for your FREE ESTIMATE!

"Lesson learned. You get what you pay for. Deveto (Veto), quoted me a two-day job starting on a Wednesday and ending on Thursday. Unfortunately he was late the first day by half an hour and did not return until the following Saturday. This was after several days of my husband continuously contacting him. The first day he advised us that he would fix a few cracks and taping off the area, which would only take a few hours. Instead he actually worked for approximately 9 hours. This would not have been an issue had I known before hand. He did a good job protecting the woodwork in my home however, the actual painting was very sloppy and rushed. Unfortunately there was only one coat of paint applied and it showed. Veto lacks communication skills and seems to have little to no respect for others time. I would definitely NOT recommend hiring this company for any future work!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Madison, WI

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.
