"John arrived on the date and time that he said that he would. He tackled the most difficult part of the job on the first day which made me confident that he would complete the rest of the job in a timely way. He paid attention to detail, doing miscellaneous power washing, sanding, and removing random old staples from the screened in porch framing. I am well please with the quality of the work and the amount of time spent on completing it. The amount charged was the same as the amount estimated with no surprises. I would highly recommend Paint Associates of Western New York."

"These guys were outstanding. They removed wallpaper and painted my LR, DR, hall and foyer. Peter, his business, gave an accurate estimate and stuck to it, to the dollar. The old popcorn ceiling (popcorn removed by someone else) needed skim coating and actually needed an extra coat to make my ceiling literally pristine. He did not charge me for the extra labor or materials. The team was polite, entirely respectful of my home, and extremely kind to my elderly mother. There wasn't one drop paint where it shouldn't be. Not a single streak or drip. For the ceiling work, I believe the workers were actually running to complete the job on time and with precision. My washtubs are in the basement, I don't know how many trips they made up & down! They were patient with me as changed my mind on color choices. All the guys were personable, and clearly experienced. They cleaned up after themselves and put my furniture back where it belongs. 2 days after they were done, while was rehanging pictures. the ceiling got scraped! I reached out to Peter to get the right touch up paint, and he promised when he was in the area again he would do the touch up...and he did. Great experience, definitely will rehire!"

"Workers arrived daily between 9 & 10a, dropped off by Bill: workers did great work! Took about six working days to paint all the walls of an 875 sq ft ranch, not bad at all! (I'll add before and after pictures to this when I can!). Honestly not sure why a worker wore a Trump hat on one of the last days, at my job we're not allowed to wear anything remotely political and I don't work with the public or customers!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Buffalo, NY

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.
