"Brian and his team Precision Paint did an amazing job scraping off the old paint and then painting the wood areas around the 3rd floor exterior area of my house. Very professional team and the price couldn’t be beat. You can see the before and after photos."

"I am extremely impressed by Natalie and Johnny and their team! I had a relatively big project but they handled it no problem. Eight rooms with trim and six different colors. The work was meticulous. The communication was always clear. They told me what to expect and that's what I got. If there was any change I was promptly notified. They even told me about the murals they sometimes paint and I got a huge Leonardo ninja turtle in our Rec room! It came out awesome!!!!! I also had drywall issues in a few rooms and the patchwork they did is flawless!!! They were awesome to work with and honestly a joy to be around. I have high expectations at times but honestly had no complaints. The work speaks for itself. If me or anyone has more paint work in the future I have found my trusty paint squad!"

"Itâ s nice to deal with a contractor where you speak to the owner, they were on time, the project was started and finished when they said it would be. There were no surprises. They even saved me a few bucks by applying a coupon for my specific brand of paint."

"After some communication miscues and delays in the project, the job was completed well. Frustrations stemmed from appointments made, I left work early to meet them for one of them, and no one showed or called. When the work was finally done, it was a good job."

"We have had (and are currently doing more) several projects done with JLC Contracting over the past few years. Dozens of replacement windows, new doors, front facade replaced to stone, deck replacement, complete gut and remodel of our on suite bathroom. Not to mention so many small projects. I can’t properly express how THRILLED we are with all the work done. Jose (Owner) and crew are experts at the highest level. Absolutely incredible work done on every project! Also, Jose is one of the best people I have ever met in general. If you need home construction done at an exceptional level, fair price and overall great experience, I highly recommend JLC Contracting!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Central Square, 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.
