"After 40 years, we decided to remodel our primary bathroom. I’ve used Touchstone Painting and Remodeling for over 15 years and did not hesitate to hire them for this project. They took it down to the studs and did all the drywall, tiling, painting and coordinating of plumbers and electricians. It turned out beautiful and after one year we still love it. I’m never disappointed with this group. "

"I have been very satisfied with the work performed and finished areas look great. Mike Fuche (co-owner/estimator) is responsive, easy to work with, and quotes fair prices for the work involved. It’s great to have a contractor that I can turn to with trust and rely upon to take care of the job timely and professionally."

"Carlos and his team did an amazing job. My garage looks incredible. As promised, he completed the work in one day. They were very efficient and once they were done, you couldn’t tell they’d scraped and painted my entire garage. I highly recommend their services."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in North Chicago, 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.
