"This is the second/third time we've used Five Star Painting (first time was when they were Protect Paining and we lived in a different home - gave them 5 stars then). Terry and crew of four, did an outstanding job on our house exterior paint job in May 2017, which included the entire exterior/trim and large deck. They showed up each day on time, cleaned up, and were very respectful. Choosing the right color and type of paint is one thing but how it is put on is another - The Five Star team did fantastic work. As most people know and require... details matter and these guys demonstrated high quality in their attention to detail. Terry stayed connected and engaged in managing the project - coming to the job everyday to check in and make any appropriate adjustments. Five Star Painting made our 8 year old house look like a brand new home!!! Not to mention it is now properly protected from the elements. They did such a great job, before they closed out the job, we got a quote for our interior, which we executed on a few months later (Nov 2017). A+ all the way around on the interior work as well. Now the inside and outside look brand new. Can't say thanks enough. We definitely chose the right company and team for the job. We trusted them with our home and they knocked it out of the park. If it is not clear, we would highly recommend Five Star Paining to friends and family (already have made 3 referrals)."

"Alex responded quickly for a RFQ on deck staining. Upon request, I sent pics to Alex for further review. He responded quickly stating deck just needed one more coat of stain. I will complete the project myself. Because of Alex’s quick response to my questions AND his honesty, he will be the first one I contact for any future deck projects. 5 star rating!"

"We've used Jack's Evergreen Painting for two projects now and I can't wait to work with them again! Andrey was extremely professional when coming to create an estimate for our first project, getting our first home ready for resale. We got to talk through everything while he took measurements and I was able to specify exactly where I wanted new paint, touch up, and what was to be left as is. Andrey never tried to upsell me on any service or product. Scheduling was a breeze, and they were even done early, which was impressive for the size of the job. I was so blown away by the quality of the work, I was actually sad to be moving!"

"Muhamed and team did an excellent job painting my condo interior (walls, trim, ceiling, closets and doors)! They were competitively priced and very professional. They completed job on time, with prompt availability to return for touch ups. I recommend Pinehurst Painting Co, and would use them again."

"Ari and his Coverall crew were exceptional. They did a great job replacing deteriorating shingles and rotted plywood. Excellent attention to detail, very good service, and at a fair price. even did a small unrelated job for me several weeks late at no next extra cost. He's also replaced roofs on several of my neighbours homes, and they are also very happy with his work. So i would definitely recommend."

"We recently had Pro Painters complete an exterior painting project on our home, and we couldn?t be happier with the results. From the initial walkthrough to the final touches, their team was professional, efficient, and highly detail-oriented. The transformation is incredible ? the new exterior color looks clean, modern, and really elevated the overall appearance of the home. They took the time to properly prep all surfaces, ensure clean lines, and deliver a smooth, even finish throughout. The trim and accents were especially well done and really stand out. Communication was great throughout the entire process. They kept us informed, stayed on schedule, and made sure everything was completed to a high standard. The crew was respectful of the property and left everything clean and organized at the end of each day. If you?re looking for a reliable painting company that delivers high-quality work and great service, I highly recommend Pro Painters. We would absolutely work with them ag"

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

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.
