"Derek was prompt at coming out to give us an estimate. I was impressed when he pointed out the smoke on the ceiling in the family room and stressed they will prime those areas before painting. He was the only painter who estimated the job to point out that situation. He and his crew were prompt, friendly and very careful to protect our items. Everything was covered in plastic to prevent paint from getting on items or carpet. Also it stopped sanding dust from spreading throughout the house. We are very pleased with Derek and his crew .. they did an outstanding job. I would recommend them highly."

"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."

"Very happy with Sadot and his family business. He personally answers the phone 24/7 ( not a call center or 3rd party ) You deal directly with the owner. He communicates every day. He power washed old stain off, fixed and repaired bad and rotten wood, re-stained the desk. He followed price quote, he completed in time frame is originally stated, Workmanship of repairs and staining was PERFECT..these guys ( all family members ) are perfectionist, made sure I was a ratified customer, and his price was VERY REASONABLE, The next time I need anything related to painting, or exterior wood repair and finishing, he will be my first and maybe only call because I trust him, and I don't trust most people, but he earned my trust and confidence."

"We hired Performance Painters to paint our kitchen, kitchen cabinets and family room. Ken offered us a very reasonable price for the job. He is a professional painter who pays close attention to details. We cannot be happier with his work. My cabinets that were old and outdated look brand new along with the entire kitchen/family room area. Ken is now my go-to for all my painting projects. We definitely recommend Performance Painters."

"We found Las Melas on The Nextdoor App and they were highly recommended. I now see why. I reached out to them with what was meant to be a small kitchen ceiling paint job. They got back to us quickly and agreed to come out for a quote. After discussing the project we agreed on expanding the project to painting the entire first floor of our house. They gave us a fair price and we agreed to start in 2 weeks. Due to bad weather, they were able to start our house project even earlier than expected. They finished painting in 3 days! They do not mess around. We plan to use Las Melas for future projects as well. If you go with Las Melas you will not regret it."

"Jorge from JRG Remodeling came out quickly to look at what I needed and promptly provided a quote. I thought it was fair and hired him soon thereafter. The next day his team showed up and started the work and finished it the next day. It was a small project, but Jorge didn't treat it like one, and quickly quoted abd completed the job. I would definitely hire him again for future projects."

"I had a small job and trouble finding professional help for my small job replacing the shingles on the roof of my wood garden shed -- 12x6 size. Once I removed the tools inside to prepare for their work, I realized I also needed the floor replaced. They completed both jobs within a few hours; they cleaned up afterwards, I am now prepared for keeping my lawnmower and other tools dry and ready for next season. They were a pleasure to work with. Their price was fair."

"Gilbert installed a new bathroom vanity for us today, and we could not be happier with his work! From our first communication, he was responsive and thorough, providing a clear estimate and answering all our questions. He communicated effectively throughout the process and handled unexpected challenges with professionalism and ease. Gilbert attention to detail was evident, and he left the space clean and tidy when the job was done. We are already planning to use him for additional projects soon. If you are looking for someone knowledgeable, reliable, and skilled, Gilbert is your guy! Highly recommend!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Wood Dale, 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.
