"Greg, Dan, and Jan were great and I'm very happy with the job they did. Greg and his team understood what I was looking for very quickly, got it done in the timeframe promised, and did all kinds of sanding, patching, and small detail work to make our old house really look its best. And on top of all that, I liked talking to and being around them. I'll be looking them up again if we end up with another big painting project."

"I've used this company many times, not only for painting, but for handyman jobs. Jonathan and his crew have proven to be efficient, knowledgeable, and just good people! I have referred him to several neighbors, who have been very pleased with their work. Most recently, I decided to change a small room into my craft room and Jonathan was able to paint the room in a short time. I have never been disappointed with the work of Touchstone!"

"We contracted H&MH to paint, finish some drywall, and put flooring down in our basement on a tight budget. The unfinished ceiling was painted too, which was not an easy task. All the work turned out great and way better than expected. Andy suggested flooring that was a perfect choice. We really love how it turned out. All of the crew were polite, professional, and hard working. Everything was done on time and under budget. We’ve hired this company for several projects and we’ve never been disappointed. We highly recommend them!"

"I highly recommend Francisco and his Excellence Painting team for any painting projects. Francisco just finished staining my back yard deck and it looks fantastic. I have received many compliments. His attention to detail and professionalism stood out. On top of it all, he is a great guy that puts customer service first. I look forward to working with him again."

"Our work was all inside. The painters completed all work in an efficient and timely manner. They were friendly and thoroughly professional.

I definitely recommend them and will use them for additional needs in tge future."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Vernon Hills, 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.
