"Our log home required specific primer/stain/top coat. Bryan and his crew were fabulous. They attended Webinars to learn how to apply the product to the logs and did a fabulous job. The price was very competitive and we've had Bryan back to apply a second top coat after 3 years. Great service and very professional."

"Very pleased with the work John and his foreman Dan did. Nothing better than freshly painted rooms by two professionals to liven up a home. John painted my fireplace, doors and dark woodwork as well. Lots of cutting in and trim work. I was having difficulty hiring a plumber to fix a broken sink faucet. John made a call and a plumber friend arrived that day. They were on time and did a fantastic job cleaning up every day. They even had to contend with a rude neighbor but took it in stride. Love the end result. Highly recommended."

"I’m hired Zaque to paint my house (external). It is a cape cod w an extension w cedar planks. Zaque did an excellent job at each step - prepping, staining, oiling. I would hire him again to do the maintenance on the cedar planks in about 4-5 years. He’s extremely responsible and responsive. He was detail-oriented and answered all of my questions at each step. "

"Ryan came on time and quickly determined how the job should be done. He left the job area clean. I asked for an estimate for painting a wall. He was knowledgeable about the paint to use and gave me a reasonable quote"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Amherst, MA

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.
