"I had a small job of painting a front door under a tight timeline. The team called me coordinated a visit to quote me accurately and completed the job the same day. Because of the cold weather there was an area of the door that need some another coat, the team came back out took additional measures to make sure the weather wouldn’t affect the job and it came out perfect. Very responsive and customer focused. Thank you"

"OK in general. The work was delayed a lot by the weather. The rotten top two 2x4 beams (10 feet long) were removed and replaced and primer placed on the bare wood during the first visit. That part of the job was excellent. When it came time to paint the new wood, the worked thought he was to do the carpentry work first. He noted it was done and offered to paint the entire trellis. He used a roller then a brush, but it was blue on blue, and I couldn't tell if anything was not painted. However it was clear he did not cover the white primer on the new wood well at all. There were multiple white areas showing. This could not be seen at eye level, but was glaringly obvious as you went up the stairs to our front porch, and was easily seen from the porch. I reported this to the manager, and she sent out a professional to finish the job correctly."

"Ric did a great job in making sure all surfaces were thoroughly cleaned. I would definitely use All Decked Out in the future. Although he was not able to remove the oil stains on the garage floor, he did suggest an option to paint the surface to make it look like new."
Painting - Interior Project
During the final flooring, removing phase a lot of the balusters were damaged due to poor carpentry workmanship.
First step in selecting a color using color, swatches, and existing items within the space.
Stair restoration project before pictures. Customer had vinyl flooring removed, prompting the painting project.
Choosing the right color combinations can be a daunting process however, with a greater understanding of the customers wants and vision this can be a transformative process that is both rewarding and inspiring.

"Joe and his wife and staff were professional, prompt and did a wonderful job. He had to match a prior paint and did so perfectly. They cleaned up as if no one had been on the premises. I would recommend them and hire them for my next project."

"Lactor and his team did an excellent job for our interior painting .Lactor himself is very professional, knowledgable and patient. He expedited our project within a week of the estimate. He provided suggestions and was available at all times. His team of painters were kind, professional, and efficient. Our project was large with 4 bedrooms/ living room/dining room/kitchen and they were able to complete the project in a timely manner. I highly recommend them for your next project!

"Frank is the best to work with; always professional, on time, and the quality of his work is amazing! I’ve referred him to a number of my friends and family and they’ve all been equally impressed with him and his work. I’ve used him for numerous painting jobs, including exterior work, and I’ve always been very happy. I would highly recommend him!"

"Bill Martins Flood Crew is excellent. In December, just before Christmas, my finished rec room flooded when my sump pump failed--soaked carpet, cardboard boxes, books, furniture with sewer water. I thought I would not find anybody this time of year to help me. But I called Bill Martins from Flood Crew, and he came out right away. He looked at the basement and gave me an analysis of my damage on the spot. He was wonderful. He took care of getting detailed estimates to my insurance company and then made arrangements for me with all the needed specialists. First, I wouldn't have known where to start, and second I wouldn't have had a clue whom to call. I needed crews to remove the carpet, cut out drywall all around to dry it out, check for mold, test for asbestos, and then remove everything. And, of course, fixing the sump pump, installing flooring, putting everything back, and lots of details in between. All of this obviously can't be completed in a week or even a month. My work was not the only project that busy contractors had. My situation was far more complicated than I thought it would be. Ultimately, it took four months, which I thought was very reasonable. And the result is so beautiful--no corners cut, no putting up with mediocre results, all this for the same price and time or less than others quote. Be patient. Be flexible. Talk with Bill about the results you want. Listen to suggestions. Your results will be beyond anything you thought was possible."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Carlisle, PA

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.
