"Erin’s painting did an amazing job transforming our first floor from an ugly yellow into our ideal space. The quality of work was outstanding from start to finish. They were incredibly flexible and understanding, even pivoting midway through the project when we weren’t loving how the original color choice looked on the walls which something you don’t see often with contractors. They went above and beyond to patch all damages and made sure everything was taped, mudded, and finished perfectly. They were also extremely helpful before the project even started, taking the time to walk us through paint options and helping us choose what would work best for our space. They adjusted their schedule to ensure the job was completed on time, which we truly appreciated. We’re already planning to have them back for our kitchen, and everything so far has been incredible. Best value for the quality of work, and we’re so glad we chose them. Highly recommend and would absolutely use them again."

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