"I had Brian and his team paint all of the dark brown trim white in our 100 year old house (there's an insane amount of trim including columns, windows, doors, baseboard, etc.). It came out spectacularly. They did an amazing job and I can't believe how much lighter and bigger the house feels because of it. I really appreciated the attention to detail they had because the trim is pretty detailed with some weird shapes (and had a lot of wear and tear). They repaired some of the damage while painting to keep everything looking even as well. I really appreciate the time and effort they put in. I also appreciated how clean they kept our house and furniture while doing the job because we were still staying in the house during the project. The painters had a pretty good sense of humor too which made it a comfortable experience."

"The painting was excellent. The carpentry was exact and professional. Work crew was neat and hard working. They were always on time and worked throughout the day. Rafael was a great communicator throughout the project and made sure we were happy with all the work they performed."

"Go with Target. I've used several painters, and I have never had the excellent level of quoting and detailed Statement of Work, customer service responsiveness, crew professionalism, quality of prep work and painting, and ability to deliver on my timeline. I am not easily impressed, but Andy, Gabriella, and team knocked it over the Green Monster!"

"Claudio and his crew did an amazing job. They stripped my home down to the wood. He found areas of rot as well as pests and clean those up. He sealed every window pipe with waterproof tape. He repaired rot. He waterproofed and weatherproof the entire home, then re-shingles using high-quality materials to ensure my home would be waterproof endurable. He replaced my front porch, found more areas of rot and opened up the front and made my home look amazing. He discussed every step with me and planned with me the entire time. His information is solid and always leads you in the right direction. I am so fortunate to work with this man. "

"I had Ozzie and his crew work on several projects in my home. Ceiling repair from water damage in a few areas, repainting, outdoor porch repairs and painting. Also had him power wash the whole house and shed, as well as my trailer. They did an outstanding job. They were here on time each day and put in more than a full day's work every day. The quality of the work was perfect. I've now has Chilel Painting twice and would definitely hire them again for any more projects I have. Hardworking and will do whatever needs to be done, they exceeded my expectations."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Boston, MA

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.
