"Isidro and his team did a fantastic job. They started early every day and worked hard to complete the job as promised. He addressed some serious issues with stains on the home I just purchased. The quality of the work is second to none. I will be using Z&A for other projects."

"We had a very large oak tree fall on our house. It actually moved the house causing the rafters to pull apart and twist. We had cracks in all of the rooms. We feel lucky to have found Jenifer and Gary. They were always professional, gave a very fair and accurate quote, and did a fantastic job. They fixed the rafters, put on a new roof, fixed all the walls and painted. They have a crew who are very professional, nice, and trustworthy. They were in our house by themselves a lot and we never had to worry. We will never contact anyone else for any home repair or remodeling needs."

"I enjoyed working with them. They ended up moving our appointment earlier, but were still mindful to do the project under favorable weather. Communicated well throughout the process. It was maybe a tad expensive for the square footage involved, but worth it to know they did a good job."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Athens, TX

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.
