"FOR POPCORN REMOVAL or PAINTING PROJECTS, CALL KANNEL'S PAINTING SERVICE. I hired Kannel's to remove popcorn from my ceiling. They completed the work last week and did a fantastic job. Rene and his team are a painting company, but they're also experienced at popcorn removal. This was a tough job, involving five rooms (including bedroom closets) and the hallway. For one thing, the popcorn had been painted, which presents an extra challenge. Painted popcorn is harder to remove; water alone is not enough to soften it. But Rene and his team knew how to tackle it. Additionally, the ceiling had three cracks, two of which were seriously unsightly, that had developed over the years as a result of poor support of the sheet rock during the initial construction. Rene and his team went into the attic, placed 2x4 supports in the right locations, and then secured the sheet rock to the supports. In this way, they were able to stabilize the ceiling in the cracked areas and then patch and paint. After the popcorn removal, they took care of all additional necessary patching, then primered and painted the entire ceiling (two coats). They are seriously hard, steady, consistent workers. They arrived and left at the same time each day until the job was done. I was at the house each day and I saw how hard they worked. They put forth a tremendous effort and I am extremely pleased with the result. It truly looks like a brand new ceiling. Their price was competitive and I'd hire them again. I highly recommend KANNEL'S PAINTING SERVICE for popcorn removal and for all of your painting needs. His company has 16 years of experience. Call Rene at 510-502-5483."

"Ivan and his crew were absolutely wonderful! They not only painted our entire house a new color, but they also removed and replaced window frames that were rotten or termite damaged. All of their work was top notch: professional, friendly, on-time and with excellent communication skills. My wife and I are so pleased with the job Ivan and his crew did, that we highly recommend him to anyone who needs their house painted; you will not be disappointed, I promise you."

"Brannick Painting just finished a complete exterior repaint of our house in El Cerrito, including staining our deck. Patrick and his team were wonderful to work with. Patrick helped us with color selection, painting large sheets of posterboard with several colors we considered, so we could hold them up to the house in different lighting to see how they would look when finished. we have heard from others that they had small swatches painted on their house and Patrick’s approach is so much more helpful. Patrick is also extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of preparation and painting. We have an old stucco house that needed a lot of detailed preparation. His crew is very experienced, and they did an excellent job repairing and preparing all of the cracks and blemishes on our house. We are very happy with the final product. We highly recommend using Brannick Painting."

"I recently hired Mike to paint the exterior of my home, and I couldn?t be happier with the results. He was professional, punctual, and meticulous from start to finish. The prep work was thorough, the lines are clean, and the final result looks fantastic. He clearly takes pride in his work and left everything neat and tidy each day. I would absolutely hire him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality painting done right."

"I hired Tony (Atlantis Decorative Coatings) to paint the outside of a 2700 square foot house. He and his crew (4 people in total) took one day to pressure wash and four days to paint. Tony (or Rembrandt as I referred to him) did an awesome job. He has an eye for color (I approved all of his suggestions), showed me some things that he thought should be painted that I would have overlooked, was very careful of the plants around the house and cleaned up after the job was done. Tony was also friendly and has a nice sense of humor. I highly recommend."

"Flex Painting was incredibly professional and performed great work. Our home was in desperate need of stucco repair, window trim replacement, and paint and they were able to do that and more. After our kitchen contractors abandoned our window replacements, Flex paint stepped in and got the job done! Bayardo even stopped by for one last walk through after we were satisfied with the work just to touch up spots he was not personally satisfied with. I would highly recommend their services and will be using them again when we are ready to skim coat our bedrooms as they are by far the most reliable contractors we have hired throughout our home renovation."
Before pictures
(Before Pic)Home was pressure washed with a 3000 psi machine to remove as much dirt and grime from the exterior house wall surfaces before painting. We sanded all the bad areas and spot primed them before painting. Used caulking to seal any open grooves and open wood joints as needed.
(Before l) This photo shows the condition of the cabinet before it was refinished. You can see the stain is faded and clear coat is chipping away from water damage and moisture in the air.
Exterior Repaint
Prepped the door for painting. Sanded it then primed it. Removed the door handle and carefully covered the hinges before spray painting the door.

"I was VERY pleased with the CertaPro Painters (Berkeley) team - from Kevin (the sales guy who came out to scope the work and provide a quote), to Deon (Production Manager), Hieme (foreman), and the guys who did the prep, painting, and carpentry work that was required. They were easy to work with and professional, and the quality of work was really good. I particularly appreciated how flexible and open they were to my requests as the project progressed - no attitude or unnecessary complexity. I would work with them again and recommend them."

"I had a great experience with platinum painting. They were prompt. Gave me a fair estimate. Did great work. Completed the job on time. As an older couple we are very picky about who we will let into our home: we felt very comfortable with the platinum painters working in our home."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Albany, CA

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.
