"Tom was in communication about wanting to paint in ideal conditions when the humidity was down, as the project was painting the interior of my garage. Once they started they took their time to make sure I was satisfied and even put more coats on in the high traffic areas to be sure the paint lasts longer. They did a wonderful job and I would highly recommend for paint projects."

"Fantastic experience working with Guillermo and MNM Painting. They were prompt, friendly, and offered good advice on the project. The work was done far faster than I expected and I'm happy with the results. We had a board replaced on our siding, and wanted to just paint and match the board to the building without also repainting the entire building. It was a small, weird and high up project (3rd floor) and we're happy with how it came out. Our house no longer looks like a construction zone!"

"Derek and crew are a step above most contractors. They do a great job, offer it at a reasonable price, start on time and listen to you throughout the process. I didnt know these were even a possible with my previous contractor experiences. Derek is a hard working and eager to make a name for his business. He will have our business moving forward as he painted, updated the bathroom and changed some fixtures. Thanks, the project looks great!"

"I recently hired Powers Painting and Decorating to do some interior painting in my parents home. They painted the kitchen and bedrooms, and I must say their work was phenomenal! The team was punctual, paid attention to detail, and maintained excellent communication throughout the process. They also made sure to clean up after themselves every day. I would give them 5 stars for their professionalism and exceptional service. I highly recommend Powers Painting and Decorating!"

"We Chris and his team to paint our kitchen cabinets. Then we asked if they also do floor installation and we hired them for that project. Upon completion, we have also asked Chris to be our go-to repair guy for a rental property. All the work was done very nicely and we would not have repeatedly hired Chris and his team if we were not satisfied. On time, reasonable price, courteous and professional."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Oswego, 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.
