"Benjamin and his colleagues go above and beyond to provide high-quality home improvement services. Benjamin recently helped me freshen up my rental property. He and his team repainted the inside of my two-story townhouse, which had long been occupied by tenants. His team was able to transform the look and feel of my rental property from drab to fab! Benjamin recommended a great paint color that honestly transformed my place from one that looked yellow and aged -- to a place that looks clean and modern. The painting and trim work he and his team conducted was excellent! Benjamin was very detail-oriented. He took the steps necessary to properly transform navy blue accent walls to a light and airy color. His team even stripped many layers of old paint from doors to ensure that new paint went on smoother. After painting, he checked behind doors to make sure door stops were in place and made corrections as needed. Benjamin even corrected mistakes that were made by previous contractors to help give my property a fresher look. He fixed cauking that was badly put into the shower by a previous contractor. He also created a toe-kick for kitchen cabinets (that were installed by a previous contractor who oddly didn't take this step). And, Benjamin created a side panel to separate my dishwasher from the refrigerator so that the "guts" of the dishwasher no longer "fell out." His great efforts made my old kitchen look great! Benjamin and his team are excellent workers and nice people to boot! They were on-time, allowing for me to have carpet installed by another vendor. They completed everything well before my incoming tenant's move-in date. And, they cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend Benjamin and his staff for your home improvement needs. Benjamin goes above and beyond and takes pride in his work. His great efforts did not go unnoticed. We can't wait to rehire him for our next project! -Michelle S."

"This was a tricky job because of the angles, and the fact that the water damage all happened in a focal point of the room, including most of the dining room ceiling. I was very pleased with the work. You can't tell anything ever happened! Once the painting is done the room will look just like new (well, as new as a late 1800s DC row house can look, that is).
Timur Akhmerov was easy to work with. We set up the appointment by e-mail, and he and another man showed up as scheduled. They told me drywall and plaster takes three days because they have to let things dry in between visits, but he prepared me ahead of time about what to expect. They also moved my furniture, and put it back when the job was done. I didn't expect that extra service, and really appreciated it."

"We’ve been working with JW Home improvement for several years and are always delighted their work. Pedro and Luis did work for us for two days last week and it was terrific. It included soft-washing the house and painting/staining of exterior wood work. It looks great."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Anacostia, DC

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.
