"This is the second time I have used Wilbers Painting. This time they installed a new ceiling in my master bathroom. Both Mr. Gonzalez and his team are polite, professional and efficient. My ceiling was completely installed and sanded in under one day. They cleaned up completely after finishing the work. I strongly encourage other to benefit from his superior work as I did. You will not be disappointed."

"Antonio was outstanding. He painted our entire house in under four days, and the quality of the work was excellent. His communication and customer service were top-tier, and he was flexible, professional, and clearly committed to finishing the job the right way. The house looks great, and I would absolutely recommend him for any painting project."

"They do far more than painting! We worked with them for a full basement remodel (adding a bath/shower, laundry and kitchenette). Ray had thoughtful recommendations to make it safe for our aging parent as well. The crew felt like an extension of our family by the end of the project. They worked late into the night at times to meat completion goals."

"Mr. Mendez and his crew did an excellent job with our skylights installation and painting our shutters and also painting our kitchen and family room. He is very responsive and completed the work very efficiently. Will definitely be calling him again for more painting projects. Highly recommend him. UPDATED AS OF 02/27/2022: Mr. Mendez also replaced our stair railing. He built everything from scratch. He also replaced some light fixtures. He does so much more besides painting. We plan on calling him when we renovate our lower family room."

"I am very happy with the work done by Rodas painting company The job was performed in 2 days. They showed up each day on time. They were careful protecting all the areas from getting dirty. Rogelio Rodas was profesional, his estimate was reasonable. I will rehire his company again for any future painting projects"

"Immediately I knew Jose’s Painting would be the company to not only bring my home back to life, but would protect it to SUSTAIN the impact of future elements, due to the proposal that was written with extensive care as to HOW they were going to get the house back into shape and WHAT they were going to use. My home has not been painted or stuccoed since the early 80's it needed TLC. This FAMILY OWNED company makes you feel like you are part of the family. Jose aka “Pops” had extensive details of how to make the project come together, while his son Jose had the modern perspective of how to keep the project in current times. The foremen, Elvis explained every detail whenever we had questions or requests. Allen, Gochi, and Ozzy showed up everyday with professionalism and care. The whole team is trustworthy and relatable. I will NOT use any other painting/stucco/interior/exterior specialist for any future project. The care and detail the team provided went above and beyond. WORTH every penny! This one is for the WIN!"

"These guys are incredible. Best contractors I've worked with in Ashburn. Two experienced painters spent 5 days doing a superb job. At first, I thought maybe there should be more painters so the job would be completed quicker, but these two guys had solid experience and worked extremely well together. When they finished a room, it was ready to move back into. They removed outlet covers, light fixtures, and anything that blocked the painting effort. They sanded the walls, and fixed every tiny flaw they could find. I am absolutely amazed at how good it looks now that they are finished. They clean everything up to perfection and left our house in perfect shape. I highly recommend Let's Roll. Their price was very reasonable and the quality was first rate. I will definitely use them again whenever I need painting done."

"Mitch and the team at That 1 Painter always do such a great job with my clients (I’m a Realtor) between communication, scheduling, prep work and protecting the property, then most importantly, do a really good job on the paint."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Arlington, VA

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.
