"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."

"Ramon and his crew did a fantastic job staining my deck and whitewashing the interior of my gazebo. In addition he pointed out other areas of the exterior of my home that needed attention which he also took care of. I plan on having Ramon come back to do some interior painting this fall after he completes his exterior jobs."

"Very punctual! They set a time and stood by it. Also, made small adjustments for my schedule. Which was really great. They painted and repaired the stairs to my basement after the flood in August. They took time to explain what would work best for my safety which is another plus. They wasn't the first people I called, but now will be the only for such projects."

"Noah’s work was excellent. He was careful, thorough and conscientious. His painting of our house was perfectly done. He went above and beyond and repaired some damage done to joists and sills, etc. He’s a real find and we’re sure to call him again for repairs and other projects. We’ve recommended him to our friends."

"This was my first time hiring a professional painter, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They provided a quote the same day of reviewing the space, setup a date promptly, and completed the office painting within a few hours. I would highly recommend them and will be using them for future projects."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Waukesha, WI

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.
