"We hired HPO to paint the entire house, all doors, windows and trim. Eric’s team was professional and thorough for the month long project and took the time with us to get the job done right. Drywall repairs were made and partial walls installed - great quality. Will rehire for our next project."

"Excellence Painting did a great job. Everything looks better than I expected and I don't have to look at holes in the walls and stains on the ceiling anymore. It all looks like new. "

"Juan did an awesome job painting!! He went out of his way to do fix a few spots on the wall such as nail pops and corner tape trim coming off on the corners in a couple spots. This was more than expected. I would recommend him to anyone looking for quality painting."

"Absolutely wonderful! Anthony and his workers arrived on time and left the premises clean with everything picked up each day. They repaired loose siding and patched holes along with nailing where needed. They were delightful to work with and we highly recommend them to anyone needing painting/staining."

"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! "

"Angel did a great job on refinishing my interior wood window frames on two large corner windows. On day one he came and stripped and put down the new stain. Let this dry out over the weekend and came back on Monday to apply the water based varnish. No bad fumes and a wonderful touch up job with the paint around the wood. I am very pleased with his work and will definitely contact him in the springtime for more work."

"Really loved working with this company! They were very flexible with timing (we had delays on our project) and weâ re able to accommodate what we needed. Their detail and work was 100% better than the last company we worked with for a very fair price. They painted our entire home and all of our interior doors."

"We moved into a new house this summer and used Handy Men & Mrs Helper to rip out over 1,000 square feet of carpet and replace it with hardwood floors. They also did interior painting. I fully trust Andy and his team to work independently in our home. His team is hardworking, professional and responsive. They are very detail oriented and when the project was suspended due to my daughter not feeling well they rearranged their schedule so they could come right back to finish once she was better. The hardwood floors and painting have really brought the house to life."

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