Customers say: Quality work

"What I liked most about this company was their approach to the project. We had five rooms repainted (Living Room, 2-story Foyer with staircase, Dining Room, Kitchen and Family Room). On our initial walk-through, they explained what needed to be repaired and patched, how the repairs would be done, as well as the type of paint and the number of coats they would recommend. They laid out a schedule (four days) which they planned on following. Repairs to the joints as well as surface preparation took roughly two days with painting taking an additional two days. Our biggest concern was once the project started it would not stop or slow down until all work was completed. Due to the size of the project we decided to move out of our house for the four days and stay with relatives. The results was that JM Painting and Remodeling did everything they said they would do plus more. They even moved all the furniture back into place after the work was completed. The quality of the work was highly professional, communication was great with pictures taken throughout the project, cleanup was very good. The project was completed within the four days and within the price quoted, even though more joint repairs were needed than originally planned. Overall we could not be more pleased with the end results. We would highly recommend JM Painting and Remodeling to anyone that may not be knowledgeable about painting and wall/ceiling repairs, wants a high quality painting job, great communications and great service all within a fair price."

"Working with Greg was seamless from start to finish. He was professional, responsive, and gave good advice on the project. Greg and his partner Dan painted my entire finished basement. They were incredibly detail-oriented. Not only was the paint flawless, but they also did a lot of work patching holes and smoothing out the walls to ensure the best possible result. They left the place cleaner than they found it. I couldn't have asked for a better service for such a large project. I would 100% hire Sefner Painting again in the future."

"Very happy with Sadot and his family business. He personally answers the phone 24/7 ( not a call center or 3rd party ) You deal directly with the owner. He communicates every day. He power washed old stain off, fixed and repaired bad and rotten wood, re-stained the desk. He followed price quote, he completed in time frame is originally stated, Workmanship of repairs and staining was PERFECT..these guys ( all family members ) are perfectionist, made sure I was a ratified customer, and his price was VERY REASONABLE, The next time I need anything related to painting, or exterior wood repair and finishing, he will be my first and maybe only call because I trust him, and I don't trust most people, but he earned my trust and confidence."

"HPO did a great job painting/staining the Cedar siding of our home. The work was done ahead of schedule, they cleaned up after themselves, and was reasonable in their pricing! The owner was very knowledgeable and honest."

"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."

"Review of Excellent Bathroom Renovation Services We recently had our bathroom renovated by a fantastic company, and I couldnâ t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, their professionalism and dedication were evident. The team was incredibly hardworking, consistently putting in long hours, often working 8-10 hours a day to ensure everything was perfect. Their commitment to the job was impressive, and they maintained this high level of effort throughout the entire project. Jasmine, who managed our project, was always available to answer any questions or address concerns. Her responsiveness was a huge relief and ensured that we were always in the loop about the progress. Financially, they were very accommodating. They worked with us to find a payment plan that we could afford, which was immensely helpful and took a lot of stress out of the process. One of the standout aspects of their service was their willingness to go the extra mile. They handled several unforeseen issues that cropped up during the renovation without any hassle, ensuring that everything was completed to the highest standard. The end result was a beautifully renovated bathroom that exceeded our expectations. The project was completed right on schedule, just as they had promised. The entire experience was smooth and headache-free, making it a pleasure to work with them. I would not hesitate to work with this company again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality renovation work. Their dedication, flexibility, and excellent customer service truly set them apart."

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