"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."

"Very professional in all aspects and would highly recommend hiring Excellence Painting for any type of paint job. They are prompt and responsive. They listen to how you would like the paint job complete and provide you with an accurate quote. After they are completed with the project they do a walk-thru to ensure you are pleased with the work. They are never in a rush to finish the job. They take their time to ensure the work is profession and meets the customerâ s expectation. We hired them for multiple small-projects around the house and would hire them in a heartbeat."

Customers say: Quick response

"Juan was very thorough in his estimate and followed up to ensure all other estimates that came through my home addressed all my needs including and most importantly my budget. Juan provided superior workmanship addressing water spots, tape lines, cutting as all my rooms are painted multiple colors and he even switched out colors on two of my rooms. In all he covered 8 large areas in 5 days working solo. Clean up was minimal and we hardly knew he was there. Clear worth every dollar spent. If you get an estimate elsewhere and haven't called Juan do yourself a favor and make the time to add him as a priority for your painting needs."

"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."

"Carlos and his team did a great job on painting my home. I needed to have 3 rooms painted which required having my furniture moved. Carlos’ team was very careful doing that. They arrived on time, were very neat and precise in painting the rooms, put the furniture back in place and cleaned up after they were done. Carlos and his team were very accommodating. I would highly recommend them."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in North Chicago, 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.
