"Sadot just completed a second painting project for us. Once again, another great job! He is very responsive and very professional. He showed up on time, prepped the rooms meticulously and the painting was perfect. His pricing is very reasonable especially for the great work he does. Our friend also had him out and he did an equally great job for him. I highly recommend Sadot and his team!"

"I've had the pleasure of working with Radek/RF Improvements for over 10+ years. He's taken projects where our schedules matched up and unfortunately due to timing there were two major projects he wasn't able to take as our schedules didn't match up and I needed it done sooner and I had to go with someone else. Lesson here being try to adjust to his schedule as he'll do it better than the other guy. Projects he took on 10+ years ago are still solid and have not needed any follow up. Projects where I went with the someone else, I've had to call him to come fix. Radek/RF Improvements prices are reasonable and it shows in his detail and explanation of work. I recommend Radek/RF Improvements whenever I can as he's a solid referral to friends and family."

"I’ve worked with a lot of contractors, several different types of work, and none of them. Absolutely none of them took as much pride in their work and doing an excellent job. Not good. EXCELLENT. As the crew at Trinity Quality Paint. I’d recommend, hire again, and show their work off anytime to anyone."

"I was very satisfied with the work he did. He was very professional and kept me informed on which days he would come and work outside, weather permitting. Two of my neighbors have also hired him after seeing how good of a job he did at my house."

"Everything was completed as promised. When we had concerns or when we found small areas that were missed, they returned to touch up. Ray was very helpful to explain the different types of paint used. Painters were polite and friendly. We rehired them to come back and paint our office shelves and desk. We painted all of our dark wood to white and it looks great. We will definitely hire them again."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in South Elgin, 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.
