"We have done several painting jobs with Jorge and would hire him again in the future! Very detailed, trustworthy and knowledgeable about finishes and products to use for your projects. Also, very responsive to calls and text messages and shows up ready every time we schedule work. All the painting work that Jorge has done for us, interior and exterior, looks fantastic."

"This company is absolutely fantastic. Very competitive on pricing and their work is flawless. We had several rooms painted, probably at least 1500 square feet in total. They also fixed several drywall issues we had and repaired numerous cracks. I have not found one missed spot or one sloppy spot. This was not an easy job either, as we had some difficult areas to paint, including a large Pantry in our Kitchen that already had a bunch of built-ins. The crew worked tirelessly and were extremely clean. My wife and I have used other painters in the past with very mixed results, so we can truly appreciate the fine work that was done on this project. Highly Recommend!"

"The project was to paint exterior trim, replace rotted trim in some spots, and replace 3 gable vents. I was very pleased with their promptness, hard work and quality. Would definitely use them again for other services and would highly recommend getting a quote from them for your project."

"I wanted to get my house painted, wood stained and a couple leaks in the ceiling fixed. I reached out on Angi where they recommended MNM. I'm really happy that I decided to go with them. They have really good reviews and I saw some of their pictures on their website. Guillermo was super responsive and they started the project within days. I've lived in this house for 10 years and have done nothing with these walls so they had a lot of work to do. I'm so extremely happy with the outcome. They transformed this house. Guillermo and Sammy were both so kind and professional. If I had anything that I noticed that needed a touch-up Guillermo came back in about a week and fixed everything. Very trustworthy, Great price and extremely professional. They will be my go-to for any painting projects moving forward. Thank you both so much for all your hard work!"

"I recently had my yard fence power washed and stained by Luis and his crew. My cedar fence looks great and Luis did an outstanding job! I am very pleased with the outcome and how his crew was very professional during the job. The clean up was great too! I would highly recommend Luis for any project."

"After a great experience with Rick rebuilding our back staircase--and seeing other glowing reviews of his work--we chose him for our bathroom remodel. We picked out all of our own fixtures (sink, toilet, towel hooks, mirror, lights, tiles, paint, grout, etc.) and sent Rick copies of the receipts so he knew exactly what we were getting. This helped him provide an accurate estimate and plan accordingly. Since this is our only bathroom, having access restored quickly was a top priority. While the project took some time due to planning, subcontracting the electrician, installing a brand-new window, reglazing the existing tub, and working around the holidays, Rick made sure disruptions were minimal. The toilet was only unavailable for 24 hours and the shower for just three days total--impressive given the scope of the work! The craftsmanship was excellent, and everyone involved in the project was professional, skilled, and trustworthy."

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