"HPO did an amazing job sanding and painting my kitchen cabinets. The results were amazing; I feel like I have a brand new kitchen. The cost was very reasonable. I will definitely hire them again for my next painting project."

"Carlos and his crew paid tremendous attention to detail, meticulously preparing the house for paint and professionally working to complete the project in a thorough and timely way. Carlos provided oversight at every step and worked hard to make sure our communication was good as we had very specific ideas about how our 4-color scheme was carried out. As the project approached completion, Carlos made several circuits of the house with me to make certain that every last detail was addressed. I would definitely retain Carlos again and encourage others to engage him when planning future projects."

"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."

"Very professional in all aspects and would highly recommend hiring Excellence Painting for any type of paint job. They are prompt and responsive. They listen to how you would like the paint job complete and provide you with an accurate quote. After they are completed with the project they do a walk-thru to ensure you are pleased with the work. They are never in a rush to finish the job. They take their time to ensure the work is profession and meets the customerâ s expectation. We hired them for multiple small-projects around the house and would hire them in a heartbeat."

"Juan was very thorough in his estimate and followed up to ensure all other estimates that came through my home addressed all my needs including and most importantly my budget. Juan provided superior workmanship addressing water spots, tape lines, cutting as all my rooms are painted multiple colors and he even switched out colors on two of my rooms. In all he covered 8 large areas in 5 days working solo. Clean up was minimal and we hardly knew he was there. Clear worth every dollar spent. If you get an estimate elsewhere and haven't called Juan do yourself a favor and make the time to add him as a priority for your painting needs."

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