"HPO did a great job painting/staining the Cedar siding of our home. The work was done ahead of schedule, they cleaned up after themselves, and was reasonable in their pricing! The owner was very knowledgeable and honest."

"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."

"I've used this company many times, not only for painting, but for handyman jobs. Jonathan and his crew have proven to be efficient, knowledgeable, and just good people! I have referred him to several neighbors, who have been very pleased with their work. Most recently, I decided to change a small room into my craft room and Jonathan was able to paint the room in a short time. I have never been disappointed with the work of Touchstone!"

"This company is absolutely fantastic. Very competitive on pricing and their work is flawless. We had several rooms painted, probably at least 1500 square feet in total. They also fixed several drywall issues we had and repaired numerous cracks. I have not found one missed spot or one sloppy spot. This was not an easy job either, as we had some difficult areas to paint, including a large Pantry in our Kitchen that already had a bunch of built-ins. The crew worked tirelessly and were extremely clean. My wife and I have used other painters in the past with very mixed results, so we can truly appreciate the fine work that was done on this project. Highly Recommend!"

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