"I am so pleased with the way the exterior painting of my 2 story, 110 year old house turned out. Eduardo and his crew are responsible and dedicated workers. I would have to say that they went above and beyond to complete this job. Eduardo takes pride in his work and checked in with me often to make sure I was happy with the way the job was going. His rates are very reasonable. I would highly recommend Eduardo and his crew to my friends and family and anyone else looking for a reliable painter. In fact, we are already discussing another project."

"Fantastic experience. Far exceeded my expectations. When shopping for a painting contractor, its the prep that separates the good ones from the bad (I've had bad before). It took them 3 days to prep the house for staining the cedar shingle siding and painting the trim. The crew were extremely efficient, caring for every shingle that needed fastening down. Then, Kirk bought a bundle of shingles and one of the crew replaced an entire section that had pulled apart over 40 years from Ivy. The repair was impressive. Then, they removed all the 2x2 boards on two patio covers in order to scrape and sand each one and the large boards they sit upon. When they found some that were in bad shape, Kirk went and bought new 2x2 boards. He was sensitive to what I'd like and brought samples of siding stain, put some on large areas so I could see and pick a color. They got so much stuff off when scraping and sanding trim that they hauled off large bags of debris. Each day they cleaned any mess before they left. I was stunned at the quality of this experience and was actually happy to hand over a check when it was done. If there was a 6 or 7 star option when rating Kirk and his crew, I'd check that. Outstanding experience."

"Absolutely phenomenal! Beyond my expectations. Roman took a damaged canvas in a 1921 home and made it look great. He showed up on time or early and stayed late to complete the job. I appreciated that he set expectations and provided guidance on what would look best. He also set a realistic time and stuck to it. Roman is a great painter and an even better person. If you want it done right, hire him. I would definitely hire Roman at EZY painting again."

"I hired Marco and his helper/wife Jennifer to paint my stack stone fireplace. But I didnâ t want it painted a flat white. So I was looking for a faux finisher painter and found Marco on Home Advisor. Boy, was that my lucky day! Marco did an awesome job painting it exactly as I wanted it to look. In fact, he painted the hearth to look like marble which I didnâ t expect! Marco and Jennifer were a joy to have in my home. Besides the great work they did they were really fun to talk to and get to know. I highly recommend them for any painting project you may have. Wish I could show before and after pictures."

"I took a chance on Painting America and Remodeling to paint the exterior of my house and boy did I hit the jackpot! Excellent customer service from start to finish - Jose and his team addressed all of my concerns and requests, arrived on time, were very efficient, and were a pleasure to work with. They did a beautiful job for a very reasonable price - I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. I will definitely contact them for future projects."

"

Over two days, I had five different guys (2 originally on the first day, augmented by 1 to better complete the attic insulation part of the job) and two the next day for left over projects. All five individuals were excellent in what they did. It might have been better to have had the same guys both days but as it turned out they all had their strengths and it went very well. The estimator (Marcus) insisted that the job be completed as originally agreed to even though I was willing to do a couple of finishing touches myself.

I chose to have a number of items completed at the same time to check off items that were on a checklist I've maintained for a decade. Some of which I've tried to unsuccessful complete and others that just came about.

If figure I got what I paid for plus some. I especially appreciated the oversight by Marcus and the work by the five individuals who completed the work. At no time was I concerned about any of them being in my home. For the most part I stayed out of the way.

There was actually a short third day for painting over some ceiling repair work. Again, excellent job.

I couldn't be happier. I will call them if I have other items build up on my list in the future.

"ALR Painting did such a fantastic job. My home was built in 1908 and the original paint was chipping away and old. Alex was able to match the exact color of the house and went above and beyond my expectations. I was particularly impressed with the care he took in prepping the home prior to painting- scraping, sanding, and caulking. The paint job wasn’t easy. Alex definitely takes pride in his work and he managed to complete the project much faster than I expected. My house looks AMAZING! I could not be happier with my experience and I highly recommend ALR Painting to others."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Auburn, 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.
