"My new favorite contractor in Bellingham. Actually, I think the only one I've liked this much to even have a favorite. True pros, very responsive and communicative, plus super nice to deal with. They painted the inside of our house from ceiling to floor and the results were just amazing. Every day that I came to check on the progress, they surprised me with how detailed they were. We had discussed clean seam lines; they gave us clean seam lines. I asked them to please not paint over the brand new hardware; no painted over hardware. I asked to please protect the wood floors; all floors were covered. I emailed my list of selected paint colors, accents and where they go, and they actually kept the list and followed through on itâ  AND they cleaned up their own mess. I list all this to show how detailed and caring they are about your property, which is not a common trait with all contractors. Kudos to the Evergreen team and thank you so much for contributing to our home looking so awesome!"

"Trim Line Painting quickly responded to my request for External House Painting quote. I selected them (from multiple quotes) because they had experience with staining a cedar structure, their price was fair, they provided references and photos of previous clients. Glen (owner), was very good about letting me know the scheduling of my project and when he would be on site. This was a great experience and I highly recommend your consider Trim Line Painting for your next project!"

"Elias Contruction provided a detailed estimate after inspecting the roof and making some qualified recommendations. The project required a few change orders that were not clarified in writing. I would recommend hiring Elias if you get changes in writing. They cleaned up pretty well although they missed a few things due to finishing in the dark. Overall satisfied with the job and cost was 60% of other bids due to sheathing adjustment."

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