I will be using them again to do glass block window repair & other projects. Thank you for the Excellent work! "

"Greg has done painting jobs for me on several occasions, most recently December 2025 when he repainted my entire 1200-square-foot apartment. He is very attentive to his customer’s needs and offers expert advice on what types of paint will work best, how to address special problems, etc. Most importantly, the quality of his work is exceptional, from his prep work to final application of the paint. Professional work in every respect. I recommend him most highly."

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."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Oak Lawn, 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.
