"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!"

"Great. Eric Peters is very knowledgeable and a joy to work with. They use the best products to assure a long lasting finish, and applied very carefully to avoid splashing stain on siding. I would trust them with any painting project. I couldn't be happier with the result."

"Oscar called right away when I put the request through with Angi, he came out the next day to give me an estimate which was fair and worked on the project and brought it back a couple days later. He was very polite and kept me updated. It was a very good experience and I would certainly use his services again."

"Rolando and his team were excellent to work with. Very responsive, professional, and efficient. The work looked great when complete and was reasonably priced for the job. There were a couple areas missed that I didn't catch until after they had left (they were painting a rental unit for me, not my primary residence); I think those were simply a miscommunication, I had no concern that those were intentionally skipped, and they were easy for me to touch up on my own. I would definitely hire them again for future painting projects!"

"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."

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.
