"Third time I've hired Greg Sefner for painting work in my apartment. Excellent work on original, 100+ year old plaster walls and ceilings patching, painting, and addressing wallpaper bubbling off walls."

"Santiago Home Improvement, LLC recently painted the interior of my house and power washed the exterior. Since the house was empty, they were able to move quickly and efficiently, and the results were excellent. The paint job was clean and even throughout every room, and the power washing made the outside look fresh and renewed. The crew was professional, thorough, and respectful of the property. Everything was completed on time and with great attention to detail. I’m very satisfied with the work and would definitely recommend them for painting or exterior cleaning projects."

"Five Star Painting was highly efficient and helpful throughout the process. Their explanations of the process, information on the procedure and paint/ stain choice, flexible scheduling, commitment to follow agreed-upon schedules, were welcome. They delivered a fantastic product, this with minimal interference with our own life routine, and at a highly competitive cost. I would recommand them to anyone interested in outdoor or indoor painting services."

"Martin, Josh and the rest of the team painted about 2/3 of our house interior. They were excellent with their communication, showed up when they said they could start, completed the large project timely and did a great job throughout all rooms. Highly recommend them for your painting needs!!!"

"NJN was absolutely wonderful to work with. I live 1000 miles from Milwaukee and purchased a condo that was in desperate need of fresh paint! Nick was able to meet with my sister and view the property and give a fair quote. His quote was significantly less than what the realtor had given me (more than 1/2 price) and competitive with others I received in the area. He completed the entire space (1200 sq. ft + ceilings) in just about 5 days. I did not move here until March 3rd and I was very pleased with his work. If you are looking for honest, fair, quality painting please contact Nick Niemczyk at NJN Printing - you will not be disappointed!"

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.
