"I was so impressed with the professionalism of the entire Five Star team from my initial phone call to the final review of the project once it was complete. The quality of work, attention to detail and clean up was outstanding. Also, Steve, their recommended carpenter that came out to repair some siding did excellent work. Friends have used other painting companies with similar cost and my project looks the best!"

"We are very pleased with the painting project Peters Painting Contractors completed in our older home (it was built in 1947). The crew are skilled craftsmen who were a pleasure to have in our home. They took the time to prep- repairing several areas of plaster ceilings and walls, sanding and cleaning baseboards and taping areas to protect non-painted surfaces. They used quality materials to paint two large rooms, the ceiling in a third room, and lots of trim. The result is beautiful! They completed the job promptly at a reasonable cost. We highly recommend Peters Painting Contractors."

"Angel showed up right on time. He painted 2 coats of paint in a bedroom for me. He did an excellent job and just took him apx 3 hours. That included running blowers to dry the first coat. He was very friendly and I would highly recommend him."

"We hired Fred to paint our basement walls black, and he did an absolutely fantastic job. The lines are crisp and perfect, and the coverage is smooth with no lines or streaks. He was professional and friendly and working with him was straightforward and easy. He completed his work within the timeframe he gave, and he went above and beyond in his attention to care and detail."

"Yes Raven’s Nest did a fine job on the projects I requested. They built me a chicken coop and remodeled my basement. My house is now a duplex, because of the work that has been done. I do not have any issues with any of the projects. Projects included, plumbing, and electricity, as well as cabinetry, baseboards, painting, and staining. Everything needed to complete a remodeling. Prices were reasonable nothing out of the ordinary. The workmanship was high-quality, and the courtesy of the employees was personable and pleasant"

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