"I chose Precise Painting and Restoration out of four other painters I had over because Juan ensured me he could replace the few rotten siding pieces I had on my house. That was valuable to me because I didn't have to find a separate contractor to do the work. During the repair and painting project, Juan would let me know what he was going to work on and gave me updates during the day. Juan and his whole crew were very professional and hard working. My house looks absolutely beautiful!"

"We couldn't have been more pleased! Sal and his team worked within our timeframe and were on time everyday as promised. They cleaned up the jobsite before leaving each day and worked with us to resolve obstacles that occurred during the project. The pricing was very fair and he didn't overcharge for last minute add-ons. I would absolutely hire them again for future jobs. It's difficult to find contractors that are both affordable and dependable, so High Quality Painting will definitely be on my list of favorites!"

"We recently hired Casey and his team for help painting 4 rooms in a new condo. He was flexible on the package provided and worked with us to refine the scope of the project based on what we could afford. The job they did was fantastic. Lots of intricate trimwork and painting around fixtures/cabinets. 10/10 would recommend and hire again."

"Anthony and his team did a great job. They scrapped, power washed, caulked and painted the exterior of my house. During the 3 day project, Anthony's responsiveness to all my conerns and questions, along with his teams attention to detail, ensured we will be using them again for our next painting project."

"TL Ryan is customer oriented.  Mixed reviews on the subcontractors hired to do the painting.  I hired this company for two separate jobs that totaled 9K.  Big investment - mixed results.  Main rooms (living, dining, first floor bedroom) turned out nicer than closets and upstairs bedrooms which showed sloppier work.  On the last day, during the walk through, one closet was overlooked and the painter rushed through it, resulting in a closet that was not primed properly so the original blue can be seen through the white.  Several closet shelves were also missed and again the rush job shows - poor brushwork, no priming.  They also did one coat of semi-gloss on the door trims (a second coat would have cost more money), and the quality of that job varies greatly.  First floor - neatly done; second floor, sloppy brushwork (I have to re-do myself and with carpal tunnel, that will not be fun).  They also left the house a mess - nails everywhere, wall plates on the floor, curtains in a pile on the sofa.  TL did most of the cleanup himself and replaced some missing wall plates at no cost.
For the second job (same house), I hired them to paint interior doors  - they charge for each side of the door (so one door is actually two doors for pricing purposes) - and paint drywall, and to repaint and re-tread steps.  Work was fine (a different subcontracting crew was used this time).  There were two incomplete areas:  I asked that the hinge footprint on the trim of a door that had been removed to be painted - this was not done.  In addition, they replaced treads on basement steps but did not tack them as they were directed (supposed to be eight tacks total - four across the top; four across the bottom - they only put four in the overall tread).  Interestingly, once I paid the final price, the normally responsive TL did not respond to my request to have these two final items fixed.  So again, I had to fix what was missed.
Both projects in the same home were to prepare for sale - so I hope to recoup these costs.   I would not use this company for the home where I live.  I think they are a little pricey because of the use of subcontractors and on balance a little too sloppy in areas that I would not want to look at every day (or have to re-do myself).

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Melrose Park, 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.
