"What a great job!, My deck looks absolutely beautiful. Antonio, Juan and Edgar (a wonderful family business) stripped, power washed and sanded my cedar deck down to Bare-wood and replaced all the bad wood. They stained all the railing with three coats of white stain and the deck floor and railing tops with 3 coats of dark stain. Juan designed a beautiful privacy wall.. Great care was taken to protect my patio furniture in Grill and house. I plan on having them back to paint my house in the spring! I highly recommend JM painting and remodeling!"

"Sadot just completed a second painting project for us. Once again, another great job! He is very responsive and very professional. He showed up on time, prepped the rooms meticulously and the painting was perfect. His pricing is very reasonable especially for the great work he does. Our friend also had him out and he did an equally great job for him. I highly recommend Sadot and his team!"

"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."

"Derek and his crew really came through for us on short notice and did a fantastic job! We were in the process of remodeling our kitchen and main level when we learned that the painter we had used for years suddenly left the business. The remodeling contractor (who did not do painting) was going to install the cabinets in a week and I wanted to get the walls painted before the cabinets went in. I contacted Derek and he responded promptly. Even though he was booked he managed to come for a few hours and prime/paint before the cabinets went in. He also gave me a very fair estimate that indluded premium Benjamin Moore paint to complete the paint job in the kitchen, remainder of first level, powder room and upper level hall. Derek brought his crew in when the remodel was done and got all the prep and painting done. They were punctual and professional from start to finish. They were respectful of our house and cleaned up so well as they went along you would not have known they were there in the first place except for the great looking paint job. We were particulary concerned about an oak-stained bay window that they had to sand and paint white but the end result looks terrific. We definitely plan to use them for future painting jobs."

"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. "

"We contacted Preemo Painting in early fall of 2020. We received a very reasonable estimate, and were told that the work could not be done before winter, but they would do some temporary fixes to protect our home. Also, they guarantee all work as long as you stick to a 5 year repaint schedule. Preemo started the work on March 28th and finished on April 3rd. All of the people who worked at our home were very considerate of us working inside our home, and they were all very knowledgeable and professional. The work they did was fantastic, and we are extremely happy with the results. Every area was repaired, including newly discovered problems we did not know about in the fall. The color was matched perfectly, and everything looks great. We wholeheartedly recommend Preemo Painting, and certainly plan on using them again in 5 years."

"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."

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